It´s a very very good DEUS EX next gen. I also see the potential of this game and it can go easy 10/10 next year and i will update my rating cause the story mode part is great and the shooting feels very good.
    Things to do:
    - physics (everything should react like in RDR2 and others)
    - AI (game is to easy)
    - NPC withe daily routines / life / reactions
    - Police system
    - economy in the city (all should feel connected)
    - More houses to enter and break in
    - storys and quests that envolves randomly because of your actions in the city
    - Overall Performance (gfx)

    I think time and Modding will lift it to another level. They shouldn´t release it and put at least 6-12 months into it to fulfill the vision.

    If anything changes to the positive i will upvote the game.

    Therewhile i will play RDR2, Assasins Creed Valhalla, Kingdom Come (+DLCs), Skyrim with MODS!!, Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic.

    This game is (CP) is a good base to start for the publisher and the modding secene but it feeld (after a while) lifeless. That doesn´t mean that the city is not a blast. It´s just there for aesthetic reasons and that´s why it´s a shame they released it in that state.

    Merry X-Mass gonna dl Valhalla now.

    A good game, which could have been perfect. The immersion is incredible, the romances superb, the storytelling is very pleasant. Do not take it for a gta like but as an rpg with a very immersive frame. Lots of bugs fixed, don't listen to haters, test it and make up your own mind!

    The game runs like garbage, glitches are everywhere, practically no player choice (No game-changing choices but just small ones). It feels like it could have been in development for the next 2 years at least. Hopefully, the free DLC coming out next year will make the game better. The game isn't bad... but just is nowhere near good even if it wasn't glitchy as ****

My game has crashed once, and other than pop ins here and there, really haven't had performance issues or glitches. With that said before diving into my review, I do wanna say gamers deserved this. Gamers often act like entitled brats, and when this title was delayed gamers took to social to rage and some even sent death threats to the devs. Now yall see why they kept delaying the game and frankly it should have been delayed again.

    With that said, I think this is a solid game. It's not great by any means, it has it's moments of being a good game, and moments where it's clear CDProjektRed aren't that experienced with making a shooter.
    Hand to hand combat outright sucks in the game. Melee weapons are ok but wonky.
    The gunplay is hit or miss.
    The game shines with it's world obviously as well it's characters. Which isn't a surprise, it's CDProjektRed. Good characters for them is just normal.

    The story is ok, sometimes it does seem all over the place but at times gets back on track.
    Pacing is solid and side quest are ok as well.

    Other than the poor graphics on X1, the previous mentioned downsides, it's all an all a good game.
    I plan on buying it a second time on PC to try it out close to what it was meant to be played, because let's be honest, this game was made to be maxed out on a 3080, not optimized to be played on PS4 or X1.

As for the pros: great music, not a bad style (for my taste), there are interesting quests and characters (although there are very few of them). Now to the cons: a VERY short main campaign (it is quite interesting, but very short), a huge number of uninteresting additional quests (about 60%), a weak romantic line (especially in comparison with the witcher), I don't have much to say about optimization(1060 6gb, i5-7400, 8gb RAM, personally, I had almost no problems with fps, it only bothered that often NPCs did not load and machines disappeared in the visible area)
    Bottom line: I do not regret that I paid money for this game, but it turned out at times worse than the witcher trilogy. Very weak additional tasks are definitely not the level of a cd project, optimization problems, in my opinion, are not even the main problem of this game, there are not very many really memorable characters, interesting tasks and a really dead world in which manual work on the world is not felt. It's a pity I was waiting for this game for 3 years and I didn't think that it would blow up the industry, I was just waiting for a good game with interesting characters and stories, but I got a game that consisted of 40% of the game from the cd project and 60% of the game from Ubisoft ...
    I also forgot to mention that the game often has the "illusion of choice" as it was in the Telltale Games games.

You may hear that people's experience in Cyberpunk 2077 has been hindered by the implications of its buggy release even with over eight-years in development, but completing it after 40+ hours doing side missions and whatnot for the first time, I was blown away. Through my years of playing story-driven video games, I have never cried to a finale until now.

    In fact, when I first opened Cyberpunk 2077, doubts were circling in my mind about the bugs and optimisation issues, however, on Medium settings, it is somewhat playable on an RTX 2060 Super and the bugs were infrequent. Driving through Night City, or looking at it from a distance is a sight to see. Everything from the world-building to its highly developed characters/story was breathtaking (you totally didn't see that reference coming!)

    Not to mention, I think it was breath of fresh air to play an RPG that was relatively short, as it allows for greater replayability in my opinion, and that stands true because I am onto my third character. Additionally, the messaging system is a cool side feature that forms a connection between the player and character more. The voice acting was phenomenal, and they definitely helped bring the characters to life. The romance side of things is... acceptable, to say the least. I was a little disappointed at the lack of screen time between V and the partner of your choice with only one intimate mission.

    The combat is the most fun I have had in an RPG before. Augmentations were cool to experiment with and the first-person animations feel satisfying (that Malorian Arms 3516 animation, though). Stealth, along with hacking security, felt entirely optional but definitely an interesting way to play through the missions. Although Cyberpunk 2077 isn't labelled as an RPG title, it still plays like one, however, not the most advanced I have seen; where are the choices that actually have consequences!

    Cars handle well and are realistically heavier than some other notable games like Grand Theft Auto V. Admittedly, they are buggy, and bikes have questionable physics that don't work very well. Cyberpunk 2077 also has other neat minor features like Photo Mode that allows you to pause the game and interact with the environment or adding post-processing effects/filters to take the perfect screenshot outside the perspective of V, something I would like to see in more games.

    I have been spending a lot of time praising this game, except understand there are many downsides as well. Some I felt during the gameplay was how useless crafting felt since I never really had to do it that much. For quality-of-life features, too much, unfortunately. No way to change the appearance of your physical attributes and clothing, really CDPR? Some of these were actually in their previous popular title, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, so I don't understand? From a technical standpoint, you can tell the game was made at the last minute, like how it crashes upon minimising, FPS drops, poorly coded AI and duplication or disappearance of items during cutscenes. Also, side missions ceasing to continue? Come on, you're better than that.

    Lastly, the score is incredible; one of the best I have ever heard. Whether you dislike Cyberpunk 2077 or not, it is difficult to say otherwise.

    Edit: After months of contemplating, my view of the game has negatively changed, therefore the score of this review will drop from an eight to a seven. Learning about the false promises that CD Projekt Red said they would deliver has certainly made me upset with their decisions. The 2018 gameplay trailer showed a completely different game and although they labelled it as "Work In Progress", it is blatant the trailer was produced in such a sleazy way that made the company hope they could be redeemed from the bad press. What a shame it didn't work. Ultimately, it was a method of deception to make us believe the gameplay shown could be improved. Instead, what we actually got was a watered-down version.

    Cyberpunk 2077 is, by all means, a good game if you overlook the nasty marketing and fundamental problems/bugs. However, I will not accept the dirty corporate implementations in advertising a game that we thought was in good hands. Apparently, no AAA gaming company can deliver the product we paid for, huh?

    And as what Johnny Silverhand would say: **** the corps.

    Disregard all these "below 0" ratings, they're not deserved. As are the 10/10 undeserved (at this stage of the game, late 2020, v 1.06)

    TL;DR: Don't believe the hype nor the hate. Get it if you like Cyberpunk in general and can live with "clunky" FPS controls for shooting. Build a non-DPS char (Netrunner) if you, like me, prefer the non-lethal or non-personal approach to conflict!

    TL;DR: Don't believe the hype nor the hate. Get it if you like Cyberpunk in general and can live with "clunky" FPS controls for shooting. Build a non-DPS char (Netrunner) if you, like me, prefer the non-lethal or non-personal approach to conflict!

    First, a preamble based on my humble opinion on game ratings:

    No game outside one bearing the "... ZELDA" in the title or maybe "Super Mario..." deserves a 10/10, let's keep it real, shall we? And Metroid (pick any) and maybe Castlevania SOTN to me would be close to a solid 10, just to put this to perspective.

    CP2077 is atomspherically and graphically astonishing - if your PC is somewhat modern, let's say Nvidia GTX 1070 upwards or AMD equivalent RX57XX.

    The Characters are all superbly laid out, as is the music well-selected and crafted to create a dense, believable sprawling moloch of a miserable "Night City" for you to explore and maybe make your oyster.

    Keanu is a nice bonus, I couldn't give two craps if it's him or Daenerys Targeryan talking to you from out of your head, it just adds a nice second layer of why you do what you do in the game with the cards that are dealt to you.

    Story-wise this is a solid 8/10 for me so far, with believable characters a well-paced main story and countless ways to do your tasks, based on your build. More on that shortly.

    As for Dialogs, this is a sour note for me. In a nutshell, they tried way too hard to make it "cool". Main example for every second line? Missing personal pronouns. I'll never get what makes dialog "futuristic" or edgy when you leave out the "I" from "... want to tell you". It just makes it clunky and unapproachable, CDP people! Aside from this minor gripe the story is delivered by great actors - the male voice of V seems to get more dislikes than female in the almighty internet, but I think both are fine.

    The game lets you do whatever you want, that can be great, if you just want to drive around and take in the sights, or it can be a curse if you're badly OCDing on blinking pointers on maps, like I sometimes do. You'll quickly go down the rabbit hole here, also by the game spouting countless (and pointless, I might add, outside of XP gain!) side missions at you - constantly! It's amazing at how much your "Journal" fills up when you drive around for 10 Minutes. It's way too much clutter. If you ignore that BS and just concentrate on the main mission, this game gives you a great 20 or so hours if the internet is to be believed. I'm at the 10h point currently and satisfied so far!

    Speaking of Progression: the XP system takes a lot of getting used to. It‘s a mix of Elder Scrolls, aka a skill will develop when you abundantly use it (which makes sense), but not really and not only,,, as that is a different experience bar... of which you have one per skill type. To make it more confusing, your main talents are skill based, and depend on how much of your hard-earned skill points (or here: perk points) you invest, Perk Points are independent of Skill points, which you use to invest in your „main“ skills in order to unlock higher „talent“ grades (and generally making that skill line more „powerful“) -> ie you want to build a one-man-army? Invest in Brawler/Annihilation skills, for which you need to develop your „BODY“ main talent tree, Not only does the game let you do the exploring of that system, it does lock you in as there don‘t really seem to be re-skills available atm in game. Go figure. It took me a bit to get this, and I‘m a veteran RPGer. Choose carefully!

    Pros:
    + Story
    + Characters
    + Graphics (on PC upwards of Nvidia GTX 1070)
    + Sound / Mix / Atmosphere
    + Vast array of (moddable, craftable) weapons
    Cons:
    - Bugs abundantly
    - The game overburdens you with "side quests" to the point of overload
    - Dialogs seem too "tryhard", and "forced" at points
    - Progression System can lock you in a build (and explains too little)
    - ... and additionally the game does not do a great job of explaining Progression choices too well
    - The mods and weapons are level based and the crafting system is also a mess atm, especially gettting the necessary „parts“ to craft high end gear.

The game is amazing... yet the state in which it was released is unacceptable. Every single time I play it I see dozens of visual bugs, from objects in the world disappearing to UI elements that get stuck and force me to load a save (Fortunately the game loads incredibly fast on my SSD). So far I haven't faced any game breaking bugs, even so, I wouldn't blame the devs for a few of these in the grand scheme of things, considering its a massive open world RPG. I honestly love the game, and I would surely recommend people play it... however... wait a bit.... till its fixed. I only really have 2 gripes about the game design:

    1. I wish they had done more to innovate in the progression system, its the exact same progression system they used in the witcher 3. You level up and you level up your gear... which doesn't really make any sense since a gun would never magically do 5 times more damage if you level it up enough. Games like Metro Exodus and Zelda Breath of the Wild are 2 great examples of balanced and streamlined games that don't use leveling systems, and I believe, given the amount of mechanics in Cyberpunk, that the leveling system could've been removed.

    2. The romance options in the game are too limited. I find it incredibly silly that if you want to play the game with a specific gender and a specific sexuality... you only get ONE romance option. In an RPG focused on player choice, this doesn't make any sense.

    Я прошел всю игру на 100% и могу сказать что игра имеет достаточно хорошую графику на моем ПК (2070 Super). Но до сих пор имеет кучу незначительных багов (которые фиксятся от патча к патчу), "софтлок" же квестов почти отсутствует. Имеются немного интересных второстепенных квестов, но в тоже время имеется куча неинтересных "пойди/убей/принеси".
    В целом складывается картина так, что проект рано выпустили, и в спешке начали чинить игру так, чтобы юзер мог пройти игру без всякой боли.
    Для меня лично проект был многообещающим, но все мы знаем как вышло.
    В будущем обещали DLC и мультиплеер, но мультиплеер уже отменили, а DLC отодвинули на дальний срок.
    Стоит сыграть в данный проект? Однозначного ответа нет. Если вам нравится стилистика и вам не страшны баги, а также вы имеете хороший ПК/консоль, то стоит попробовать.

Been playing their games since Witcher 1, and the general progress each title held for the company was astonishing. Unfortunately with this title areas that compel me the most in games were lacking.

    Witcher 3 and its expansions left such a wonderful aftertaste upon completion. While Cyberpunk's experience felt empty. I don't care at all about the bugs many people are plagued by, what I was looking for was an RPG experience. In Witcher 3 you were significantly rewarded for exploring the world. Your choices mattered, and you could see a direct impact on the world from them. But here there is nothing. One of the most expensive games in history, and yet you it does not hold a candle to a game that was done with third or even less of the budget this one did.

    While there were some very interesting plot points brought up from a philosophical perspective, unfortunately they fell flat at the end of the day. Even their first Witcher had a plot more compelling and memorable compared to what I witnessed here. All in all its a true shame, and for me the writers really screwed up on this title. Makes me wonder if even the same team was working on it.

    But kudos to the art, level design and music teams. They really excelled and for that gotta bump up the score to a 7/10.

    Everything has already been said. There’s something wrong with this game. It is fantastic, but incomplete. At the moment it should not even be for sale.

    I'm not a big gamer, but every now and then when I find a game I really enjoy I can play non stop for 17h. I've started Cyberpunk and played it for 1h, then I started doing other stuff. I played a little bit more in the evening and finished after 2h feeling mostly annoyed. There is just too much stuff mixed together and character control was a nightmare.

Imagine playing Skyrim and having guards kill you because you hit someone with your horse. Like if I want GTA I can play GTA. I'll probably try some more but ... Expand

    В игре офигенно нарисованный город, который к сожалению не смогли наполнить интересным контентом. И офигенный (но на 95% линейный) основной сюжет, половину которого зачем-то замаскировали под второстепенные задания. Персонажи похожи на настоящих живых людей, и по-настоящему хочется, чтобы они были твоими реальными друзьями. Ни в одной другой игре раньше, даже в Ведьмаке 3, у меня не было такого ощущения.
    Чтобы игра стала по-настоящему отличной, ей не хватает технической и геймплейной доводки. Убрать баги, сбалансировать игровые механики, изменить систему экипировки, подправить ближний бой и вождение, и будет отлично. А пока в сумме просто неплохо.

    First of all I am EXTREMELY disappointed, the game doesn't introduce us to even smidgeon of what it was supposed to. It doesn't have extensive character creation allowing you to personalize your V, theres no bodytypes. There's no consequential choice to be made in the game during your conversations, and even in what you do.

It doesn't have extensive character creation allowing you to personalize your V, theres no bodytypes. There's no consequential choice to be made in the game during your conversations, and even in what you do. I have played it over 80 hours, loaded and saved many times to test this out and whatever you say does lead to the same track of the story. The AI is atrocious civilians in the city act like zombies they either all cower, or runaway when you use weapon, police just spawns on top of you. Forget police chasing you or anything like that they are too stupid to climb after you on the ladder if you run from them to the roof... So in that aspect i'm extremely disappointed... There's no replay value in it to me... because i'm not going to waste time through everything i have already seen... Even when Johnny Silverhand appears during the quest trying to push you to take one way over another, none of those choices change anything in the game. No one attacks you because of how you finished your quests, no one becomes your friend giving you some advantages... Nothing... But in general in it's linear main story, it's a decent game, it has a decent characters and decent story... I'm not going to talk about the bugs... so in general is below average for me... it will entertain you for a little... To me a huge disappointment, considering how much of a CDPR fanboy i was... PS... I dont think its fixable by patches, unless they rewrite the whole game... Expand

    The story, the atmosphere, the characters and the music are beautiful, but the artificial intelligence is very bad and whenever you want to get into the game, this is not possible due to the glitches.

    There are lots of bugs and technical issues, and optimization problems but the videogame is great! The story is really good! Graphics are stunning and the atmosphere and the city are definitely breathtaking!
    But to be honest this game should've postponed one more time...

    Takes things from other games, but don't do them as well.

    I didn't really follow the hype leading up to the release of Cyberpunk. Only ever saw a few images and maybe minutes of a trailer, and Keanu Reeves showing up on stage.

    I didn't really follow the hype leading up to the release of Cyberpunk. Only ever saw a few images and maybe minutes of a trailer, and Keanu Reeves showing up on stage. Thought I'd pick it up and try it when it released. With expectations so high, I figured this has to be a great game.

    Cyberpunk takes gameplay aspects from a few other big titles. The open world mission based progression from GTA. The stealth/aggression FPS combat from Far Cry. And the level up perk dialogue options from Fallout. But each of these lack the depth from its' original counterpart.

    The open world in Cyberpunk a beautiful, and reasonably big. But the traffic AI, the law enforcement, and the pedestrian AI don't feel the most organic. Pedestrians would reply with the same few things whenever you spoke to them. The things you could do were also quite limited in the city. As far as I knew, vehicles you could drive didn't have that much variety as well. Bike, car, or suv. Driving around in Night City was laggy for me, but maybe the problem could be fixed with a better PC build.

    The game let me approach combat either with stealth, or guns blazing. I love stealth, and that's what I attempted at first. But this proved to be problematic. Scanned objects turned into a jumble of mess on my screen with random objects overlapping human enemies. The game intends for me to hack a radio to distract an enemy, but it takes me some time to actually align my cursor with the radio to hack it, making sure it's not the dude I hack. Hacking to distract enemies is a cool thought, but it serves the same purpose as throwing a rock to get enemies to turn around in many other stealth games of this nature, and it brings out the same effect with much less tedious work. I soon resorted to just going in guns blazing, as stealth became tedious and not fun. Most of the time, I'd be noticed for really stupid reasons. Either they suddenly turned around right before I could get close enough. OR the stupid double tap dodge input screwed me over. At times I'd tap the direction keys to slowly get closer, but that input combo is also for quick dodging, which means I'd accidentally blow my cover.

    The perk tree is enormous. Like WAY too big. The only way I see anyone can even come close to completing it is if they do every side mission and take on almost every random street conflict. It's not necessary to level each perk, but I can't imagine anyone being able to do it unless they are a hardcore completionist.

    The dialogue, voice acting, and characters were great. Although, there were many characters I wish had lived longer. I love it when games or shows kill characters, but I really wish Cyberpunk had kept some of them for longer, as I grew attached to them. Really wanted them to stick to, at least, until near the end.

    The story was interesting. Mind transfer. But it's nothing I haven't experienced before. SOMA and the Observer come to mind. As well as movies like Source Code, and the Matrix. All three arguably portray it better, imo. But Cyberpunk did tell it in a fascinating and unique way. Having Johnny around questioning my every move was interesting, and made me think about my morals, which side I was on, and what I should do.

    All in all, I did enjoy the game. But it's nothing I haven't experienced before. It's like CD Project Red tried to mesh together a bunch of the popular open world gameplay aspects together, but the result is just an average of all the big games that perfected the formula. The futuristic cyber theme definitely gives the game it's identity, albeit only visually.

    My one line summary of Cyberpunk 2077.... It's Mass Effect 3 the Sequel.

    TLDR points... 1. the game is structurally flawed 2. your in game decisions are largely meaningless in the grand scheme of things 3. it's pretty to look at, if you've got top tier hardware 4. there are many broken or unplayable/unusable elements 5. there are lots of bugs so you're paying to beta/alpha test
    My one line summary of Cyberpunk 2077.... It's Mass Effect 3 the Sequel.

    TLDR points...
    1. the game is structurally flawed
    2. your in game decisions are largely meaningless in the grand scheme of things
    3. it's pretty to look at, if you've got top tier hardware
    4. there are many broken or unplayable/unusable elements
    5. there are lots of bugs so you're paying to beta/alpha test this... perhaps in 6 months to a year it might be better

    Longer commentary

    For me this game breaks the cardinal rule of RPG's / Action RPG's in that your actions in game should have real meaning... and for me, or at least in my experience I see that they don't. It doesn't matter if I played everything (and I did 90 hours) or if I'd followed what most of the media/YouTube reviewers did and played the main story etc (20ish hours)... at the end you're ultimately presented with a single choice... there are paths to this choice which are unlocked by what you played but regardless of those paths, they all converge to a single binary choice... just like in Mass Effect 3 - how would you like to die

    My gold standard RPG/aRPG is Mass Effect 2... because in that game, if you play it just right, make the right calls at the right time, you can save everyone and have a happy ending. it's not easy and I failed a few times... but it is possible. And CP'77 would have the potential for this if the writers had deemed it thusly. It's a factor of two (possibly both) things... time or douchery. I get the distinct impression that they were rushed, that they didn't have the time they needed to make this what they claimed it would be.... it certainly wasn't shipped when it was ready, that much is clear. But there were so many opportunities for the story to be better, that I have to wonder if these were deliberate decisions to take a large dump on the player from a great height. Opportunities to merge with your decision in a more compatible way, for the relationships that you choose to pursue to have real meaning, rather than just another check in the box. I chose to romance a character, and apart from the quest line which lead me to the conclusion of that romance, that was about all the interaction I had with that character... there were so many times it could have been woven into conversation or into decisions later on... but nope.
    Those of you that played the Witcher 3 know there are ways to get the 'bad' ending, and the 'good' ending... for me all the endings here are terrible because I feel that basically no matter what I did in the game, my end result wouldn't have changed... ultimately I'm indy in RotLA.

    I want to believe that the writers weren't trolling us... but maybe they were... using Hope as the carrot.. I also feel that there are great parallels with the Matrix as the story uses hope and choice like a carrot and stick... they're both an illusion.

    "Hope, it is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength, and your greatest weakness" the Architect.

    we are lead down the path that there is a way out, and then you find very quickly that is just another form of control... that ultimately your choices are meaningless.

    The game is structurally flawed (IMHO)... there is no reason for it to finish the way it does, and really i can't understand why CDPR chose it to be this way... there is no reason that you can't persist in the world after the main story line is complete... why the inevitable DLC's and Expansions need to be shoehorned into the story before the P.O.N.R.. I look to GTA5 for this as a persistent world that doesn't have it's main story as the 'be all and end all' of the world.... No amount of patches will change this...

    As for technical things... the game is a mess, there are bugs everywhere, the code is grossly unoptimized and a LOT of the QA process was either rushed or simply not done. I say this as a software designer and tester (not games)... there are things in this system which are wholly unacceptable but were clearly deprecated in priority to simply get it out the door. Even though this is a PC review, you can completely see why Sony have removed it from their store.

    I'll finish with some good points... it's a pretty game (when it's working), Night City is amazing in it's scope and concept. however, the execution is poor. I don't need to revisit others comments on how laughable the NPC AI is. but conceptually it is a visual spectacle. I have taken many fantastic screenshots with photo mode which I really treasure

    In conclusion... i feel disappointed and let down. I waited 8 years for the game, and really hoped that it would match the output that CDPR had achieved before. put aside the technical elements that can be fixed, the game (for me) is devoid of the heart that made the Witcher series... and it didn't need to have that missing...

    As Snake from the Simpsons says... Close but no donut Cop..

    such a shame

    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.
