    Very amazing story. Incredible characters, story and side missions. AI could be improved. Gunplay is slow early in the game but really picks up as you level. Night City is incredible, could use a little bit more interaction.

    Not perfect, but certainly not absolutely terrible. The UI is a bit clustered, but, overall, I enjoy :)

    I'd like to thanks CD project for realising my childhood dreams to play future development of "Flashback" (1992 game). So long been waiting for this project! Of course there are numerous of software problems, specialy on console gaming, but this doesn't detract from the idea that the creators of the game brought to life. I hope you'll stand up to criticism wisely and courageously. YouI'd like to thanks CD project for realising my childhood dreams to play future development of "Flashback" (1992 game).

    The gameplay mechanics are well thought out, I felt a great deal of attachments to quite a few characters. This game sure is buggy but if you can run it, it's definitely worth a play.

    The game feels very good and atmospheric, but some of bugs and visual problems are making this game not "the best of the best"
    If it will be fixed - will change my opinion to 10/10

    Plays smooth with max settings on ryzen3600 nvidia2070. You end up seeing a glitch or stupid bug once an hour or so. When the game's patched to solve them, it'll be a 10/10.
    Just don't bother playing it on ps4 or xbox one.

    The amount of bugs is far from what people have said. I haven't had any crashes as well. While the city itself is beautiful, interaction with NPCs is limited, I expected V to at least be able to buy street food. Driving is also pretty wacky. If you stick to story missions though, Cyberpunk 2077 is a very good game.

    So the games have bugs and performance issues, but those can be fixed. The things I don't like is that it might as well have been a Ubisoft title and not a CDPR title. but hopefully, they can make the game outstanding with the DLC

    It might be the best story i've ever played in game. shooting it's ok, not as good as it would be, but it's ok. I really love this game. But this bugs. Ugh...

    On first play through, took about 16 hours to complete the game. Although I was somewhat disappointed with the shortness of the main campaign, it is very well thought out and executed. Every moment is enjoyable and memorable. Lack of multiplayer at launch unfortunately is another downfall, no excuses on that end when your game is delayed almost 8 years.

    Simply the best game atmosphere ever.

    Atmosphere 10/10 Night city is truly a masterpiece of a city. It provides an atmosphere you've never witnessed in any other game before, particularly during night. The city is dense, with many vehicles on the streets (could be more on the highway) and a lot of people walking around, although there is almost no interaction between NPCs

    Atmosphere 10/10
    Night city is truly a masterpiece of a city. It provides an atmosphere you've never witnessed in any other game before, particularly during night. The city is dense, with many vehicles on the streets (could be more on the highway) and a lot of people walking around, although there is almost no interaction between NPCs unfortunately. Every part of the city is filled with extreme detail and the lighting is stellar, especially with raytracing enabled. 10/10 without a doubt.

    Story/side quests 8/10
    Halfway through the main quest flow, the story is good and you definitely want to see what's coming next. Side quests range from boring to very fun to play. Overall, I like the quests in GTA more as they offer more versatile and crazy tasks. Aside from the opening, the three life paths have very little effect on the game. I expected many sidequests exclusively to every life path that deal with the background of V and cover the the respective life path in depth (e.g. corporate rivalry, nomad rivalry). This is quite disappointing to me.

    AI 6/10
    The AI is mixed. Neutral NPCs, when shot, sometimes do not run away or leave their car and crouch forever. Police always spawns out of nowhere when doing some criminal activity (e.g. shooting a random NPC) which is awful and has to be fixed. Enemies however seem to have very little issues so far, but they are nothing special either. They hide and shoot, throw grenades, hack your mind and sometimes rush to your hiding position. That's it. Some of them have a bug and act like a scarecrow, standing there with arms stretched out and doing nothing. Some enemies with fists only do not attack you and just try to defend your punches. Both effects are rather rare though.

    Gameplay 8/10
    This is an unpopular opinion, but the gun play feels good and is realistic. You cannot shoot an enemy precisely in the head from mid-distance without using the sight or scope. This should be the way to go for games that aim at mimicking realistic gameplay. Firing weapons sounds amazing and is a lot of fun. There are a bunch of different melee- and range-weapons, grenades and skills to level. Adding the hacking abilities gives a versatile playing style. More weapon modifications and special-effects would be welcomed though.
    Driving feels terrible once you start the game as steering overshoots compared to other games, which leads to too much drifting. After a few hours of gameplay however, you are used to it and driving also makes a lot of fun, especially with fast cars and during night.

    Other negative aspects:
    - character-styling options are too few. You cannot set the height and weight of V and there also too few options for hairstyle, skin color, hair color etc.
    - Clothing: If you want to dress with the best items, you most likely look like a clown. CDPR should implement clothing that better fits to each other.
    - Craft/Loot: Crafting is nothing you are very excited for. Loot is okay, but you'd be more hyped for a boss if weapons of higher rarity had unique special effects.
    - Other tasks in night city become repetitive quite fast
    - Difficulty: Sometimes the game is too easy even on the hardest mode.
    Those are all, if at all, minor points.

    Bugs
    Yes there are bugs, and there are a lot of them, which cannot be all listed here. Many of them are minor bugs that occur very infrequently (e.g. NPC having a gun sticking in their head or others moving weirdly), but summed together, there are still too many of them. More often however are...
    ... textures of cars not loading fast enough which obviously dampens the atmosphere.
    ...cars and NPCs suddenly spawning out of nowhere.
    ...cars spawning inside other cars, causing some mixture of an explosion and a crash and making cars jump 3 meters in the air...??? But that bug seems to be very rare at least.
    ...sometimes clicking Q to change from first- to third-person while driving is delayed or bugged.

    Overall, the game is very much recommended, at least on PC with good hardware. What makes the game special and possibly the game best ever is not the interaction with its open world but the atmosphere and stories. You will most likely exceed 100 hours of gameplay.
    If CDPR removes the bugs, the game is an easy 10/10.

    Cyberpunk is a RPG hybrid like Witcher 3 was, that means that RPG aspects are lowered, but that does not mean progression is bad in fact its very good, and narration in the key in this game and its biggest selling point especially side quests. If you play this like GTA, you will not have fun, this is not sandbox, its never meant to be.

    8/10 just because of optimization problems and bugs, when that is fixed its easy. Once they are fixed game is easy 9/10 if not 10/10 This is must play but its not bad if you wait few months for some of the problems to be fixed.

    But If you play on PC and you like RPGs this is worth 60 dollars without a 2nd thought.

    Version with Hot-fix 1.06, after 149 hours of play.

    Pros: - beautiful graphics, especially the design and appearance of the city - music and sounds of the city, - interesting main plot and interesting side tasks (choices in side quests have an impact on the main plot and the game ending) - Interesting characters with complicated personalities - very complex character development

    - Interesting characters with complicated personalities
    - very complex character development system (character attributes, skill tree)
    - hidden game elements and secrets containing interesting stories

    Cons:
    - errors related to vehicle mechanics and driver's intelligence (vehicles appearing out of nowhere, cars standing in the middle of a crossroads or highway, strange collisions, cars parked under the street)
    - police behaviour is not natural
    - enemies sometimes jam during combat and become simple targets
    - you can see that some elements have been removed from the game (unused parts of the city, mechanics that were used only once)

    I generally recommend the game to people who like RPG and SF fans. Errors after some time stop bothering.

    The game is good. Its atmosphere, fight mechanics, vehicle rides etc. but bugs, not logging issues, coating problems etc. there is more.

    - opaque HUD,
    - ubiquitous bugs,
    - driving a car could be better, it slides as if the tires were bare,

    At the moment, I rate the game at 8/10, I recommend you buy and test, I am waiting for the next updates to fix problems and better optimization.

    Besides, don't be guided by the ratings from 0-5, they are frustrated players of older generation consoles who got a worse product and now lower the rating of the PC version.

    The only downsides right now is that it lacks as an open world game. The civilian NPC's are simply cosmetic and have no ai, crouch down when there's a loud sound and remain there until they disappear.
    The police spawn right behind you and the wanted system is nowhere near games from three generations before. The game also has many bugs, however running on a high end system, I am yet to find any issues myself, other than it running poorly on ryzen systems

    The best metaphor for Cyberpunk 2077 is Johnny Silverhand himself. A messiah, a mix of Kurt Cobain and Che Guevara, a talented singer who loves to shape his own legend and has a charming personality but loses the struggle with his own demons. The same goes for the game. It tells a great story and forced me to ask myself difficult questions, but many of its gameplay mechanics do not evolve and its technical state upon release was abysmal. Cyberpunk’s true hero is not a person, but Night City – a vibrant, living creature of great diversity. The beauty of the metropolis is striking. [01/2021, p.22]

    Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most disturbing and mind-blowing RPGs in history, where every decision has a deep impact on our trail. CD Projekt RED tosses us to the center of a city filled with disgusting delights where every character deserves our attention in an immersive experience and overall, very rewarding. From the sarcastic and shadowy tone imposed by the countless scenes in the game, to the flexibility we have on the choices to face every situation that is presented, Night City is truly memorable. It’s a shame that the countless bugs spoil or diminish the impact of some resounding moments, but we are without a question, in the presence of one of the best games in 2020.

    Measured against the extreme expectations, Cyberpunk 2077 can't fulfill any of them. But all in all, despite the countless small weaknesses and inconsistences, with interesting characters, great story and dialogues or the freedom concerning gameplay, CD Projekt delivers a unique and great RPG that every fan of the genre needs to play.
