    I wanted to give this game a 4/10 initially, but after seeing that CDPR continues their marketing strategy of deceiving their customers, now with bought reviews, I felt that a score of 1/10 is appropriate.

    My playtime is currently at 48 hours. The Good: - Graphics: The game looks truly stunning at times. The Bad: - AI: It's probably the worst AI I've seen in a game. The NPCs
    I wanted to give this game a 4/10 initially, but after seeing that CDPR continues their marketing strategy of deceiving their customers, now with bought reviews, I felt that a score of 1/10 is appropriate.

    My playtime is currently at 48 hours.

    The Good:
    - Graphics: The game looks truly stunning at times.

    The Bad:

    - AI: It's probably the worst AI I've seen in a game. The NPCs are generic and don't react to their environment other than cowering when they hear gun shots. The crime system is an absolute joke, cops will literally spawn out of thin air right behind you if you punch someone in the middle of nowhere.
    NPCs are also not really driving their vehicles, but follow a predetermined route which becomes painfully obvious once you put an obstacle in their way.

    This is definitely the worst part of the game for me, because it is not a bug, but works as intended.

    - Story: Mediocre.

    - Driving: Driving in this game feels like you are floating an inch above ground. Worst AAA driving system I've seen. Doesn't even come close to Watch Dogs or GTA.

    - RPG: Cyberpunk is not an RPG as they advertised, this game just gives you an illusion of choice. Your lifestyle path you choose in the beginning has almost no impact on your story at all other than the first 10 minutes of your game and that it adds some additional dialog options which are irrelevant since it doesn't change anything for your main story.

    Details like not being able to eat at the many food stalls on the street add to the feeling that this whole pretty city is just a facade.

    The cherry on top of it that they changed their own description on Twitter from RPG to "Action Adventure".

    - Performance: The game is definitely not optimized and suffers from lazy coding. The inventory system is a great example for that. If you have many items in your inventory it is noticeable that it takes longer for it to load if you open your inventory. If you consume something, instead of removing that one item you consumed, it will reload your whole inventory which results in a lag.

    - Bugs: So many BUGS which kills the atmosphere. But they aren't even the biggest issue for me and other people described them more in detail.

    - Marketing: CDPR straight out lied about features in the game. They promised a fully immersive world world with NPCs with a full day routine. Instead, you get a good looking game on the surface, which as soon as you scratch it you will find a bug riddled game, which is really just a veil for a mediocre game.

    I doubt that any of the core issues of the game like the AI will or can be fixed anytime soon. I am really disappointed.

    The game has insane graphics.
    But it has a lot of bugs.

    It's so sad. Dam.
    Just don't be an idiot like me, don't buy this game and listen to the user reviews.

    The game is broken. I'm playing on a 4 years old pc, not the greatest, but I do play all the new AAA titles with no problem at all at 1080p on medium to ultra settings and get an amazing performance.
    Here if I'm playing on low 1080p I'm getting 20-40 fps tops and it's looking horrible. Even when I pushed the graphics to high to see the details I felt like the
    graphics weren't that good

    graphics weren't that good either. Looks aso dated and broken! Gameplay wise I felt like the driving with keyboard and mouse felt so bad and unresponsive. The gun gameplay also feel very wrong and weird. The NPC's are also felt broken and dead and lifeless. The bugs are so horrible the game can't stop glitching and I had to reload saves so many times (and I played for like 3-4 hours). Guns not hitting, guns not having sound, clipping weeners, cars floating or sinking to the ground, cars go through walls NPC's just falling and stretching for no reason and on and on..and I'm on patch 1.04.. I just stopped playing the game and I won't be playing it until I'm verified it's fixed (which I don't think it's possible, because the gameplay isn't even that good too)
    Big disappointment

    non of the expectations besides the beautiful city was realized.
    This is not a next-gen open-world RPG this is the conclusion of all the previous-gen RPG games.
    and yes it's full of glitches.
    Do I recommend to play this game? yes. but it's mostly disappointing.

    Wasted potential

    This game basically tries to be GTA on steroids but instead became GTA on meth. It does everything GTA does, but worse.

    Lot of content that was promised is lacking. The game is unfinished and buggy. The performance is so bad that you won't see decent graphics even with RTX 3090.

    Great storyline, fun gameplay, amazing looking city, poor AI, kinda bad optimization (for PC. Console version is a mess). Overall, met to my expectations. Wish they waited for a couple of months to release though.

    Very poorly optimized. Full of bugs and glitches.
    From an objective point of view, this game is unacceptable. Story-wise it is not something new or very good. I can say the story has original bits but it is kind of mediocre.
    Cdpr was making crazy marketing about every detail in the game. I can't believe they release the game like that. It is a kind of robbing.

    -Mini quests where you need to help the police or just kill criminals quickly get bored (and there are a lot of them)

    Despite the many problems of the game (most often optimization and bugs), the game turned out as I consider it successful, and when all its errors and bugs are fixed, people will have a great time in it.

    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.

    It's unbelievably addictive! I'm halfway through the main story and not progressing much at the moment, because I'm doing all the sidequests on my paths. I'm not even using fast travel, because the city is just so very beautiful.

    A great game indeed. The story is gripping and the graphics are ravishing. The bugs are to be expected - all open world RPGs in the past decade have been riddled with bugs at launch. My only gripe would be some illogical customization limitations - 4 body tattoos, yet 29 ears? But ultimately that has no bearing ok the game itself.

    Great concept, world building and solid RPG elements; but it is far from a completed project as it is. For example, even after four patches on day two, some NPC from an early side quest still follows me around and ruins the atmosphere of every major scene by creeping around.
    I fully trust CDPR about fixing the bugs given enough time, but for now I'm going to lay it off for awhile and

We should not have expected a perfect bug and glitch free game of this magnitude released on this many “platforms” from anybody even CDPR. They are not the only ones to blame here, so are we. If you have a last gen console or hardware i recommend fully the use of stadia, though not the way i would play myself, if you are stuck on that old gear it is the best way to play.

    Full Review,
    In a Game of this scale there are always growing pains, through the whole development cycle since the announcement back in 2012, 8 years ago, it has had to change generations 3 fold. People are expecting this to run on base models of last gen tech that came out in 2013, such as the original Xbox one and ps4, at the same performance and quality of next gen tech, like the ps5 and mid tier PCs. This however is just not logical, though I am not saying that you should have to upgrade to a Series X or ps5 just to have an enjoyable experience, there are already many examples of games not running well on original versions of these consoles so why expect the newest thing to be any different.
    But don't get me wrong here, even if you do have a newer version like the one X or ps4 Pro there are still issues. I've seen them but these "bugs" are mostly glitches which are two very different things, bugs break the game where you cant progress and glitches, such as being able to get into a wall with your vehicle or trees being over an npc in cutscenes, are relatively normal occurring things in a new open world game that has not been optimized yet, even on PC I have had several friends come to me to help with issues that were able to be resolved with a simple integrity scan of the hotfix that was released within a day of the game release.
    What i have realized is that the majority of people do not see that bugs and glitches are impacted more than you would think by the hardware they are running on. When running the game on the minimum required hardware you cannot expect to be running ultra settings it can not compile the world fast enough so you get things rendering in wrong. For example i had a friend message me about the tree glitch i was referring to earlier, they are on an rx 470 8gb oc which is not a horrible card, but when your attempting to run the game at ultra with everything turned up and on an old graphics driver it most certainly will not run correctly.
    Personally I have a mid-range PC, specs Ryzen 7 3700x, RTX 2070 Super 6gb, 16gb ram. I have not yet encountered any Game breaking bugs, yes a few funny glitches here and there like T-posing npcs, but nothing truly game halting hense my giving it a 9, it's not anywhere near a 10 but not a 8, if I could I would give it a 8.5. At time of writing I only have 24hrs in the game so I have yet to explore everything but going by what I have played and my immediate circle the game is not as broken as people say it is as long as you are not trying to push older hardware past where it should.
    I know we all aren't happy with it but if you are on older generation gear whether that be the minimum pc spec or first generation consoles we are going to have to give them time to get rid of these bugs on last gen platforms, and wait a little bit longer for them to polish the game of these glitches on next gen platforms. There is no way for any developer of any caliber, even CDPR, to be able to test 9 different hardware sets for bugs and glitches on a game of this scale, it is just not something anyone should have expected them to do even with the amount of time that they have had.

    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.
