    Очень красивый открытый мир с крутыми персонажами. Играть строго на ПК и на ультрах. С оптимизацией конечно все не радужно. Игру могли бы ещё годик разрабатывать, не думаю, что все бы так удивились переносу. Но за такой красивый мир не жалко поддержать поляков.

    The pure essence and with that I mean side and main content ist masterful and definitely a 10/10, but there are some aspects which fall short in comparison and I'm sure that if this were a linear story game or a rockstar open world type of thing, that it would have been without a doubt a 10/10, since genres like those are centered around the campaign, but cyberpunk is an OPEN WORLD RPG.The pure essence and with that I mean side and main content ist masterful and definitely a 10/10, but there are some aspects which fall short in comparison and I'm sure that if this were a linear story game or a rockstar open world type of thing, that it would have been without a doubt a 10/10, since genres like those are centered around the campaign, but cyberpunk is an OPEN WORLD RPG. Don't get me wrong, I love the open world of cyberpunk, it's verticality and amazing complex structures, but Cyberpunk 2077 fails to deliver in some simple key areas, that are fundamentally important for the sake of immersion, like being able to go to the barber, sit in a bar and have a drink or two, or generally being able to interact with people like Red Dead Redemption 2, with that I mean antagonising people, killing, attacking, steeling from them and as a consequence the Npc's reacting accordingly, however in Cyberpunk 2077 Npc's are merely placeholders with no AI whatsoever, if you shoot nearby or attempt to aim your weapon at them, Npc's won't try to counter your attack nor will they show any kind of reaction to your actions, regardless of what you did, they will just start to crouch and despawn after you lost sight of them, the same goes for traffic as well, if you try to block a road Npc's wont try to drive around your car, they will just stay and wait in line for you to move, because they have no AI whatsoever.
    I understand that these Games can't be compared since the level of scale and immense number of Npc's is not comparable to Rdr2 but games like Gta 5 or even Watch Dogs Legion have large numbers of Npc's and delivered better.
    This was one negative aspect out of a dozen. The combat is mediocre, maybe it will get better the more I progress, the variety of gameplay and replayability is amazing, although I'm a bit sceptical whether or not the lifepath choice makes a substantial difference or not. Well, since I haven't got all day I would like to wrap it up in a few sentences. The game is good, but fails to deliver in basic areas which have become the industry standard, even though AI is terrible the world still feels alive, in every corner there is something happening, occasionally you will hear Npc's talking about the personal matters and police investigating crime scenes, arresting criminals, gang wars and more. Ithink that it is very clear that the base consoles had a negative effect on Cyberpunk 2077 and that this game should have come out only for the Series x, Ps5 and Pc.

The side quests open a bit more variety but still very rigid. They game plays best as an open world action/adventure game rather than a full RPG. I'm in love with the game. The characters are truly wonderful, going through the story with these people and seeing how they evolve over your short time in Night City is truly incredible. I wish romances were a bit more than just a sex scene for the most part, but that's not too big of a deal. The combat is a little better than good. Guns feel responsive and punchy, but recoil feels a little inconsistent. Swords are just fun to build out and go crazy with and the body augments add a special flair to the game although I wish they were more integrated into combat rather than just a separate dedicated weapon. Driving is honestly a bit annoying. Cars don't feel like they're on the road, it's like you're always on a layer of ice or oil and you just can't get the car where you want it unless you go really slow. Overall the gameplay experience is enjoyable, it misses any revolution to the genre but does everything I'd expect as well as it can given the bugs. The game has consumed over 50 hours of my life in just a week. That being said, if you don't have a good PC, a strong desire to immerse yourself in the dense streets of the future, or a want to play a more rigid RPG experience, then waiting might be best for you. The game has a lot of flaws and bugs and missed promises and that's gonna be hard for a lot of people to overlook. I was one of the lucky ones who was perfectly targeted for this game and had a good enough PC to play it well. This will be a classic if and when CDPR gives it the polish needed. Expand

    Game is generally speaking very good, but very flawed. I have really enjoyed the main story and some of side questlines. Unfortunately all the side activities are very repetitive, and the gameplay itself is somehow boring. Playing on PS4 Pro was also a big test for my patience.

    The Witcher 3 was a masterpiece. Cyberpunk 2077 is still a very good game, but in my opinion it simply didn't

    Great game. Lots and lots of awesome stories beyond the main quest! There are bugs, its true but you can't deny the work that went into crafting the world. It's so detailed, it's insane. Hope they can fix the majority of bugs so that every one can see what a great it is.

    All the bugs and technical issues aside ,you can see how incomplete this game is. I think the world has the best living open world i've ever seen but when they see that you're doing terrorist things (such as killing NPC etc..) there is no AI on them but other than that there is too much variety on the Night City for possibilities such as become the boss of the best club of NC you can doAll the bugs and technical issues aside ,you can see how incomplete this game is.

    Quest design is so good that i loved it and the side quest design is best side quest design i've ever seen except rockstar games and w3 (which is another game that made by CDPR) i think the quest design is the best thing they do at game design.

    Talked about the open-world AI ,the combat AI is no different than the open-world npc AI but combat is satisfying overall, the feeling of hitting someone with pistol is different than a shotgun. Shotgun blows their head off but pistol would just kill. Gun customization and upgrades are good enough to keep the game alive after 30 or 40 hours of gameplay and those mantis blades and katanas are soooooo satisfying that i just get the difficulty to easy to use them, they are so good at killing people. And the variety of combat is also good, stealth is good but bcuz of the AI they can spot you in a corner that cannot be seen in any circumstances which can be annoying but all in all combat is good.

    RPG this game is not an RPG game you play as V you talk as V you live as V. But you can customize your character your V can be different than my V but he/she is V not another person.

    However RPG elements are great in this game like the level scaling on enemies are perfectly balanced and you can get your character to the Johnny Silverhand level (seriously you can do that) all in all RPG elements are good.

    But i say don't buy this game right now because it is an unfinished game right now but 2 months later they said the bugs gonna be fixed some problems are going to be fixed. Maybe the AI can be fixed by the patches who knows so don't buy the game right now. Buy it 2 months later.

    Ok so I am playing Cyberpunk on PC and its pretty good game its not a masterpiece (at least in current condition) but I am really enjoying it a lot.
    First of all the Good parts -
    - So the Story is Pretty Good I really enjoyed it a lot and music was the best part of the game. - I really liked the art direction of Night City as well it's most immersive city I haven ever seen in open world

    First of all the Good parts -
    - So the Story is Pretty Good I really enjoyed it a lot and music was the best part of the game.
    - I really liked the art direction of Night City as well it's most immersive city I haven ever seen in open world game.
    - All the side characters alongside V are very well written(I mean they are not generic everyone has different personalities and you can really get emotionally attached to some characters).
    - Side missions are not repetitive each one gives you a whole new story and set of characters to explore and interact.
    - Although there are certain tasks like clearing area for NCPD , or small GIG's(some gigs have story like side missions)which can get repetitive but they're very useful for getting money so you can upgrade you're cyberware or buy Weapons/Clothes/cars etc.....
    - Attributes/cyberware/lifepaths now this is where RPG elements comes In now you can choose what kind of " V " you want to be you can make a berserker build ,sneak build, hacker build etc.. depending on attributes/cyberware you choose or you can be little bit of all.
    - crafting/upgrading weapons is available so you can also customize/upgrade you're weapons by adding mods/scopes like basic stuff only....

    Now the bad stuff -
    - Lifepaths doesn't affect the story that much except first few hours.
    - Bugs/Glitches.... the ones I am facing on PC are character going through solid surfaces like doors, walls, cars.... Random NPC/enemy T-posing , NPC and Cars spawning right in front of you , you're characters private parts popping out of clothes(it can be fixed by unequipping/re equipping them)and some texture glitches.
    - NPC AI is not that good (No day/Night routine or anything)
    - No police chases/ they just spawn right in front of you when you commit a crime.
    - " V " appearance can't be changed (like getting new hairstyle/tattoos etc.. after character creation)
    Personally I don't care about the bad stuff that much but still I want them to fix bugs/Glitches at least.

    TL;DR review
    I have completed 90% of the game’s content, having spent around 80 hours. I did not go for a second playthrough (yet) and did not mess about with talents/crafting too much.
    This game is ABSOLUTELY worth the money if you are on PC. I played on i7/GTX3080 installed on SSD and it ran smooth as butter as it did for my partner (i5/1080 on SSD). It is immersive, it is fun, it scratched most itches I have. If you are readying this beyond Jan 2021, I hope it will also be smoother on consoles (F for you last gen consoles, Cyberpunk was never meant for you)
    Voice acting is great, although Keanu's work as Johnny was 50/50 for me. Unlike a lot of reviewers, I do not wish this had another year in production because I understand that we live in a capitalist hellscape and paying for testers and more development is harder/more expensive than releasing a game and letting people test it for you. Big shout outs to Tomasz Marchewka and Pawel Sasko and their team for the story & Quests, Bartosz Ochman and Hiroshi Sakakibara and their teams for Night city.
    This review is split into Good and Bad.
    As a general reference, I am a white cis queer female. I have 400 hours on BG3 early access, 700 Divinity OS, 400+ on Mass Effect series, DAO, DA2 & DAI (also Hawke's story is S-tier, Warden is A-tier, Inquisitor is B), F1, F2, F3 & F4 (3&4 of which I considered to be Bad (tm)), TES3, TES4, TESS, 300+ Witcher 2 & 3, 15 years in WoW.
    I was hyped for Cyberpunk since 2012.
    THE GOOD
    - Immersion: the game is super immersive; the city feels alive and real. I had to go to a police station the other day and on finding out that it is closed my brain told me to look for another entrance.
    - Play the way you like: wanna kill people? Sure. Pacifist? OK. Stealth? Cool. Hacking? YES. Melee? Of course! Ranged sniper? Duh. Muscle burly punching who prefers to just rip turrets out of the socket rather than bother with hacking? You do you dude. Cyberpunk is free of Deus Ex curse for hacker characters. You absolutely can go through every fight with 20 points in intelligence (i.e. hacking). The art of skill trees is strong in this game, but nowhere near as involved as PoE. The skills are very diverse, and you never have to invest is passive stat increases.
    - Respecting player's time - Having done every side gig and discovered every marker on the map, I can tell you this game's narrative respects your time. No follow missions, not contrived stealth or checkbox tasks. Side gigs are very optional, but can interweave with the main story line, giving you more dialogue options and additional ways to proceed with the story. Finally, most missions have hidden objectives (which I, being an idiot, missed).
    - Romance Options - Judy is the best girl, waifu and too good for my V. Romance is involved, feels natural and playful. It can be complicated or be a straightforward OTP, depending on how you play. Handled very well.
    - The story - V is not an entirely blank slate, more of a prepared canvass which is definitely my preferred Hero type of playing RPGs. Lukasz Zawlocki's direction on motion capture is impeccable as is the voice acting. Every long gig is memorable and delightful, every mystery worth investigating. The voice acting is solid throughout, even if Keanu Reeves definitely takes some time to get into the role so his would prob be the only voice acting that was hit and miss for me. Also I never knew I needed a dead snarky rockerboy as a side kick, but here we are. The engine allows the game to switch between cinematics and gameplay flawlessly and the style makes even conversations with minor side gig characters beautiful and engaging. Dunno if it was done by gameplay animation team lead by Dmytro Ishchenko or Maciej Pietras' cinematics team but hot damn it is impressive.
    - Diversity
    - The City - finally, if this thing did not even have a quest line, half the price of this game is worth the admission to Night City itself. Hiroshi Sakakibara and his team did a stellar job on crafting this gem. Some of the weapons and one very particular hand gun, courtesy of Kamil Nowicki's art direction, look and feel amazing. Everything about night city is great and technically ground-breaking.
    - The music - I am such a gonk I almost forgot music!!! P.T. Adamczyk, Marcin Przybylowicz (sorry don’t have keyboard characters to spell your name) and ofc Paul Leonard-Morgan - my ears thank you. Doing a mission with Path of the Rebel is a transcendental experience.
    The BAD
    - Character customisation could be much more
    - The UI - I can feel corpo hands around Yaroslav Getsevich's (UI tech) neck as he is forced to toil day and night on a UI that is nice for both Consoles and PC
    - Genera Bugs - occasional T-pose, graphics don't load sometimes. nothing gamebreaking on PC

    I had to make an account to combat some of the ridiculous reviews about this game that I've seen. Worst game of all time? Biggest failure in the gaming industry? Are you serious? Let's calm down.

    Is this game perfect? No. Is this game over advertised? Yes. Is this game terrible? Absolutely not.

    I am having an absolute blast with this game, and feel I got every bit of my $60 worth out of the experience playing it. The world is incredibly imaginative and well designed and it pulls you in from the very beginning. The style, story and setting are all extremely well done and unique. I have not encountered another game that tackled this type of setting before. Also, there is a TON of content and almost all of it is engaging and fun to play. To be honest I got overwhelmed a bit with all of the things to do. I am finished with my first main quest playthrough and I still have almost 30 side jobs waiting, and that's not even touching the gigs and other things to do. I haven't even scratched the surface of the character ability builds and customization I can choose. There is a wealth of content, and all of it was super fun to me so far.

    The game is not ground breaking, but it's on par with other games of it's style. No it's not as good as Witcher 3 and the NPC's arent as good as some GTA games, but honestly that didn't really detract from my gameplay because the story was so good and the gameplay was so fun I didn't even stop to notice.

    Lots of people are complaining about bugs, and that might be true for others. Also, the experience for people with last-gen consoles might be completely valid. I played on the Xbox Series X and the game performed great. I had exactly 3 minor visual bugs that did not impact my gameplay at all, and absolutely no crashes. Honestly, the bugs were even kind of funny and didn't really bother me in the least.

    Overall, I understand that CDPR might have oversold this game, and that may upset people. Those criticisms are all valid. I also understand that many people might have experienced significant bugs, and those criticisms are valid as well. However, completely trashing this game and giving it a zero score, or calling it this worst game of all time is a complete and utter joke. You shouldn't review games if that is your take.

    This game has a lot to offer in terms of story, setting, style, and gameplay. Like many other games, it has it's flaws and is far from perfect, but it can still offer a heck of a good time and should NOT be overlooked. Do NOT believe these ridiculous reviews. The game is more than worth the price.

    Yes, Cyberpunk is an objectively buggy mess on an operational level.

I play on an Xbox One and experience a crash roughly every hour, have visual artifacts pop up and even have sequences during missions where events never trigger and V ends up locked in limbo until reloading the game. THAT SAID; the game is RAD if you enjoy narrative driven gameplay. I’ve logged something in the neighborhood of 15 hours in game and I JUST got to the actual story since I’ve been sidetracked by the overwhelming number of extra curricular activities within Night City. The characters are intriguing and the story itself is VERY engaging. This is NOT a game for people who just hammer on “A” or “X” every time a conversation halts; to do so is to deprive yourself of the games truest achievement. The gameplay loop is fun enough; but weapon variety is lacking and most missions do boil down to “go here, kill guys, repeat.” This would be a problem if it were not for the Quickhack system, which offers pretty endless possibilities for problem solving based on your tastes. That said if you want to bust in guns blazing there are rarely any provisions in place to keep you from doing so successfully. Stealth is implemented well, but can largely be abandoned if that’s not your thing; so far stealthing my way through missions has yielded little to nothing in the way of extra awards. Same with choosing murder over non lethal options. The character creation does leave plenty to be desired; especially since you cannot alter your appearance beyond your outfit after you’ve exited the creator (a pretty massive oversight in a game where customization was a huge selling point.) The armor system is disappointing in its lack of customization as well; so far there have been no dyes or other options like “sleeves rolled up, untuck shirt” etc. This absolutely leads to that disappointing RPG trope of mismatched hodgepodge armor that you wear for the stats over the aesthetics. Since this is such an aesthetic based game you’d think CDPR would have implemented more robust customization options.

    Without the glitches the game is easily a 9 if story is important to you. It’s not without its shortcomings, but it is still an engaging and satisfying gameplay experience. Shady release aside it’s not like we’ve reached Electronic Arts levels of contempt. Just another early release to capitalize on the holiday season. I’m willing to give it a pass and wait for the patches.

    Open world is pretty **** mid but it wasn't that great in The Witcher 3 so my expectations were pretty low, cops spawn out of your literal **** if you do anything wrong, don't even turn up in cars. Combat is pretty fun and only gets more fun as you progress and get better stuff like cyberware body modifications. I think Witcher 3 has it beat on open world exploration, which is a shame because it's obviously more vertical (even if the extent of its verticality was exagerated slightly pre-release). Driving feels lighter in some cars than you would expect, that's about my only complaint about it.

    I found bugs to be in concentrated patches during certain quests, going for hours without seeing a single one, maybe the occasional floating objects, followed by periods of immersion breaking bugginess.

    Played on an aging mid-range PC, using Digital Foundry optimized non-RT graphics settings at 1080p averaging 40FPS.

    The game is, definitely not what I'd expect after waiting 7 years and multiple pushbacks (initially supposed to get this in late 2019 then early 2020). I've logged probably 30ish hours on it so far and feel i should tame some of the hype but also stop some of the needless hate: Let's start with the obvious, WHAT YOU ARE PLAYING ON MATTERS. I know you guys dont want to read it or hear it,The game is, definitely not what I'd expect after waiting 7 years and multiple pushbacks (initially supposed to get this in late 2019 then early 2020). I've logged probably 30ish hours on it so far and feel i should tame some of the hype but also stop some of the needless hate: Let's start with the obvious, WHAT YOU ARE PLAYING ON MATTERS. I know you guys dont want to read it or hear it, and i am not dismissing responsibility of CDPR of ensuring a title runs smooth on ALL release platforms. That said, this game was likely scrapped and redeveloped once the specs and dev kits were given to them for next gen consoles. Meaning, it was made for mid-to-high end PCs and next gen consoles (which are basically perfectly tuned mini PCs). I am playing on an xbox series X so majority of the graphical errors and issues do not occur as frequently or even at all in my experience. I also have many friends who play on PC and they relay the same. Pros: -VISUALS, Game is absolutely stunning. (The fact that all of the world comes alive, day night transitions are so smooth and the graphics look amazing shows me this is a polished product, the light reflections, the shadows, details on things like weapons)

    -The ENVIRONMENT. In the beginning i felt this game was your run-of-the-mill watchdogs or even GTA open-world environment where it was all pretty like a Forza game but not much interaction...completely wrong. The world is just as large if not larger and the amount of interactable doors, places to explore, and environmentals you can affect or interact with is enormous, at times even overbearing... there's just so much to actually do.

    -The STORY! One of the biggest reasons you should immediately disregard ANY 1 star review is the story. Even if this game looked like absolute crap, the story is amazing. It is nothing too "original" in terms of media in general, but in terms of a videogame story, nothing else can compare to the concept. Its a perfect blend of Sci-Fi, Mystery, and Action. The game has the story depth of Heavy Rain and the fact that so many of the options you're given for dialogue (some of which are timed & can even be used to time-out the chat options and simulate saying nothing) do affect the outcome of the story. Some in an immediate impact way, others take a few days of gametime or even other missions to realize the impacts (i have reloaded several save points just to test as well as receive the effects i want) i don't want to go into the actual story because it's that good i dont want to spoil it. When you're playing you almost get the sense that you're watching a movie and in terms of immersion the game just sucks you in!

    -VOICES + Keanu Reeves. I wanted to lump Keanu in this section instead of giving him his own "Pro" as to not seem like a fan boy. However, i assumed he was just a heavy gimmick or image used to advertise the game with a few cameos thrown in here or there (like norman reddus in the mail delivery simulator) but i was pleasantly surprised he is a huge part of this game, not just in voice lines but in the story and visuals, hell you even play as him at some point and i felt like a complete badass. You can tell he is actual acting in this game, not just reading voice lines. Now to the actual voicelines, this will go in the pro and cons section, the voice acting is top-notch and smooth, fluid, even though they give you the options to fast-forward through dialogue, this is the one instance in a game where im just not tired of it like standard RPGs.

    NOW FOR THE CONS:
    -Bugs. Yes the game has bugs. I dont know why i was surprised, i guess i assumed with all the delays that it wouldn't. Majority are small, warping, slight rendering issues, and the occasional dialogue stuttering, i havent experienced anything game breaking)

    -NPCs. When i say NPC i mean the bystanders walking around in the game. It's just so elderscrolls "i saw a mudcrab" or GTA duck and run. No one foghts back and the cops are useless.

    -CRAFTING. There is much to be desired in terms of crafting and QoL (no crafting slider for multiples)

    -WEAPONS. Surprisingly not many. There is a lot left to be desired in terms of potential with it being the future and all. That said, the quickhack and body mod syatem is pretty cool.

    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.
