    Good game with a good story. Not a 10/10 like the incels scream it is but if the game gets its bugs fixed id say its a pretty comfy 9/10.

    Night City is fun to explore and the details throughout the world can be breath-taking at times. NPCs have great designs; the music is amazing and it’s all very immersive. The story all though a little short is fun and kept me playing for extended
    Good game with a good story. Not a 10/10 like the incels scream it is but if the game gets its bugs fixed id say its a pretty comfy 9/10.

    Night City is fun to explore and the details throughout the world can be breath-taking at times. NPCs have great designs; the music is amazing and it’s all very immersive.
    The story all though a little short is fun and kept me playing for extended sessions. You could probably beat the game in 15 hours if you just go for the main missions but that would be a mistake I feel as the side quests are just as good as the story missions in terms of mission structure and world building.

    My only real complaints are that this is not a Role Playing Game in any proper use of the term. Its not Fallout 4 levels of bad but nowhere near as good as New Vegas. Its more similar to Deus Ex Human Revolution but just below it in terms of RPG elements. There are Stats which you have to build a character around but all can complete the game with similar results and character builds sadly are not important. You can’t become a smooth talker or anything that can get you through the game without killing or never being detected. I didn’t follow the hype for this game but I was under the impression it was an RPG so I would warn you going into it that its RPG lite if that is important to you.

    Graphically the game is nice but the FPS is pretty poor, im lucky enough to have a new RTX 30 series card and am able to play the game on max settings but there are areas when driving my FPS will go to 41fps at 1080p. Also making changes to graphic settings has little effect. Playing with RTX on is the same as off for me, Above 90 FPS for most of the game but 41 in other zones when driving so it may be an issue with the games optimization since it runs bad at all settings. You may need at least a 2070 or higher to run in current state.

    Lastly there is the bugs, performance may vary but I haven’t had really many crashes, only two although one required me to restart my PC as it froze everything. Bugs are everywhere in this game and although its not Fallout 76 bad I would recommend holding off until a few more patches are out as it can get in the way of the experience and its possible my love for the game has been hampered by the bugs even though I can look past most bugs if the game is good.

    Although I recommend the game it comes with a Asterix and you should wait till it is patched and the performance improves as it could be a rocky experience depending on your personal rig and the games launch price is pretty steep. Reason why im not giving the game a lower score is because im pretty confident CDPR will fix the issue soon as they have a decent enough track record and even with the bugs this is better than anything Ubisoft has put out in years.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Night City is visually impressive with its neon skyscrapers and swarming crowds of people. There are many places to explore but only a few ways to actually interact with its world. You can look at something that's intriguing, such as a campsite underneath a fallen Ferris wheel, but then you realize it is just a superficial exterior because there isn't anything to do there. The main quests and a few side quests provide some unique game mechanics that are short-lived and only exists for the purpose of their respective quests. For example, when you finish the main story and go back to former quest objectives like the military tank, you can't even get inside it anymore. Where's the fun in that?
    Even on PC, I experience glitches all the time. People's heads clip through the roofs of cars. The audio suddenly cuts out during scenes when the NPC is still talking. NPCs T-pose for a split second. Objects float in the air when an enemy dies. The main character has fallen through the floor and gotten stuck inside walls. Two phone calls happen at the same time and break missions. Cars spawn in the air and fall to ground. Yes, these happened on the most current update (1.05).
    This game has a problem with chronological sequencing. On a quest with River Ward, he starts to explain what "braindances" are. However, by that point in the game, the player has already analyzed multiple "braindances" before. It made no sense because the main character acted like it was his first time.
    A very small percentage of your time playing will actually consist of action. I would bet 99% of Cyberpunk 2077 is talking, walking, driving, and character management. Only 1% of your playtime will be real action, and that is terrible for people with limited free time. There are a lot of quiet, peaceful moments during important quests that are great if you have time for role-playing but painfully boring if you don't.
    A lot of the side content feels monotonous because you have to defeat a ton of "cyberpsychos" and small groups of enemies that just stand around waiting. If you are thinking of completing all of the achievements, all of the small enemy marks on your map must be finished. After 10 hours of grinding, you will start wondering why you are spending so much time to get 1 or 2 extra achievements.

    Edit: The distinct characters bring some personality and life to a story that is difficult to fully understand because of convoluted politics and science fiction.

    I've actually come back to change my score and my opinion a bit. I still think the game is amazing, but there's more than just bugs & glitches that upset me about this game. There also have been certain things that they promised would be in the game that just isn't. A lot of things are very wack and CD Projekt RED basically scammed us. Very disappointed!

    It feels like CDPR put too much effort into trying to keep this game pretty and big, without making in game systems big and fun to play. Cyberpunk in current state would have worked fine as linear rpg, sadly , and to be honest.

    Comparing with other launches the bugs (in PC version) where acceptable. As for the gameplay it show a potential. I would say that it is needed time to adjust to the mechanics.

    Was disappointed with shooting at the beginning of the game, bit it gets much more fun with new skills and weapons as game progress. AI is not very good, I seen weird behavior more often that I would like it to. That being said in most fights AI working properly (maybe because enemies getting killed before thay have chance to do something weird).

    Despite downsides, for me this game is more than just sum of its components. Overall impression from story, visuals, music, writing and gameplay definitely makes this game the best I have played this year, or maybe even past 5 years.

    CD Project has good history of patching their games untill they are perfect, Witcher 3 had a rough start too. Cannot wait to replay it after patches and quality DLC , that hopefully will be released.

    despite the countless bugs and AI-related issues, I really enjoyed playing cyberpunk. Night City is one of the most astonishing cities you’ll find in a game and most importantly, characters like Judy, Panam, and Johnny Silverhand are so lovely and perfectly written that you will enjoy their subplots even more than the main quests.

The difference is, this game has been developed through one of the worst years in recent history, and this isn't a simple game, like assassins creed, or Call of duty, where they simply use the same algorithm every god damn time, this game is in-depth to a level I have never seen in any game in my life time. Graphically it is a wonder of what can be, certainly the new Crisis 3 of the decade. Story wise, its gritty, inspiring, dark and disturbing in the way you'd expect a game about a bleak future to be! The characters are believable in a way I have never seen, Not in only how they look, but in the way they come across. when you get into this game, you are sucked into a world you can truly lose yourself in!

    The problem with people these days is, they overhype themselves, and expect far more than is truly achievable, despite how good this game is, and truly in depth it is, people still have the audacity to whine!? Sure, it needs some fixing, and they probably should have been a bit more honest about its capability on last gen consoles. but to me, this just proves why PC gaming will always be the pinnacle of gaming. consoles are out of date the second you buy one, as they aren't capable of being upgraded unless you buy the next big console update, the PS5 S or some ****

    The other issue is, they delayed the game a few times to try and rectify the games bugs and issues, but as per usual, people only complained about the delays, and didn't respect that CDPR is trying to develop a ground breaking game during a goddam pandemic! So after all the **** CDPR finally release it to stop the bickering, only for those same people to then complain that it shouldn't have been released! **** OFF! Its your ****ing fault!

    Anyway, This game, with some work on the bugs will be a masterpiece, and all those pricks out there complaining about how it doesn't run on their 10 year-old console can **** off as far as I'm concerned, as this game in everyway is an absolute marvel! Thank you CDPR for this outstanding and ground breaking game!

    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.
