    Bad A.I., below average gunplay, below average stealth mechanics, poor rpg elements. His saving graces are the world itself and the story and dialogues, but not even these are worth more than an 8/10. Fun experience, but nothing more than that.

    THE GREAT
    - The initial Universe of Talsorian Games is awesomely rendered.
    - Visuals are most often from nice to gorgeous.
    - Main story is well written and involving
    - Side quests are most often well written and involving too
    - Dialogs are spot-on
    - Voice acting is great in English and pretty good in French too
    - Sound tracks are excellent and spot-on with the Universe
    - Perks and skills are great, character evolution is engaging
    (note that resetting skills is difficult, and resetting perks impossible. I'm a table top RPG player so to me being able to reset skills is already too complacent, but that may annoy you.)

    THE GOOD
    - It is mature content, it shouldn't have been otherwise
    - Shooter mechanics are enjoyable
    - Craft and weapon customization are interesting
    - Many graphic settings
    - Replayability is globally OK

    THE BAD
    - Main storyline is too short
    - Poor differences in class path and choice consequences makes replayablity way less fun than it could be.
    - Driving is very unsatisfying to handle
    - No vehicle customization, very weak car degradation
    - AI is dumb and dumber.
    - It is poorly optimized and if you want everything ultra, even with a monster PC, FPS wont be great, at best.
    - Some graphic settings are not properly working, like getting worse definition with G-synck on.

    THE UGLY
    - Promises of NPCs having daily routines has not been fulfilled.
    - Promises of dynamic and impacting weather system has not been fulfilled.
    - Promise of meaningful day and night cycle has not been fulfilled.
    - Promise of smart police tracking after a crime has not been fulfilled.
    - Promise of frequent flying AVS has not been fulfilled.
    - It could go on and on, the list of unfulfilled promises is overwhelming.
    - Worst of all, promise that it would be launched when ready has not been fulfilled.
    - There are a lot of bugs, last gen consoles version is a disgrace and PC is far from that disaster, but still it had been launched half baked. Bugs I encounter are toxic to immersion but not game breaking, except when the game mess with my sound card and randomly mix speakers in 5.1 configuration : when it happens the only solution I got is to restart my PC.
    - You end up with a very nice world, but interactions with it are so poor that with time it feels more and more dead.
    - Despite not having been promised (witch doesn't mean anything anyway as we see), some basic elements you would expect from any open world RPG are not there while it would make a lot of sense because of the Universe deeply into body modification : no esthetic surgery, no tattoo shop, no hair dresser, not even the possibility to change your make up. When your character is done, it is done. Also where is the key to holster weapon ? ...
    - CDPR communication is shamelessly deceiving in so many ways you can't believe whatever they tell. Also if you care for productions to be concerned about employee's well being, you wont be happy. Saying CDPR's behavior leaves a bittersweet taste is an understatement.
    - The ugly list is too damn long e_e

    All in all CP2077 qualities are very heterogeneous. It is a good game that could have been one of the best, and may become GOTY if CDPR fulfills its promises about patches, DLCs, and bring an awesome multiplayer. BUT CDPR had been so much into deceiving their promises that there's no way we can take for granted they'll deliver.

    If you are expecting the game they promised, if you are expecting a polished game, if you're expecting great additional content, don't buy, wait for CDPR to deliver. If you're Cyberpunk 2013/2020/Red fan, if you got a powerful PC with RTX GPU, and if you don't mind bugs and BS, go for it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all the game is above average 6 or 7 without bugs it's not a great game or a bad game and it's not an RPG it's an action advance with RPG leveling if I'm saying that right

    Starting off with the Story it is short just about 9 missions the game ends just like that and before anyone says something about the side quests be clear about one thing there are side quests and gigs not the same
    Some people keep mixing this up there are a ton of gigs like hits, thief, rescue, sabotage and cyber phycho these are just repetitive the game tries to give them more context but you stop caring about that after a few dozens of them And there are the side quests like panam ,Judy,river, Kerry, Johnny and I liked the politician brainwash thing too bad it just ended and fighting and raceing for some reason you can't do after finishing their quests There are three or four missions for each of these and only panam, Johnny and your preferred romance option have any major impact on the ending asides from that there aren't any meaningful choices on the game Life paths do not matter aside from some extra dialogue it's useless. Spiking of romance there is only 1for each
    Gay m 1 straight m 1 gay f 1 straight f 1 and they aren't anything new some are disappointing

    If cut out the repetition gigs and only did the side quests it lasts about 30 to 40 Hours that what matters and when the game ends there aren't any happy or good endings you get sad, bittersweet and very sad. It leaves you empty and hopeless This game for me is an one and done It's sad because when I finished witcher 3 I felt bittersweet it's over but I loved the journey made a new save immediately that's what this game lacks the most the journey there's No Replay value if aren't experimenting with builts if you want to see defferent endings load a save before the final mission you'll get everything

    If you haven't seen any marketing for this then you will have an descent time on pc but if you are like me followed it from the start then you would understand the fustration in this sub riddit I don't blame the Dev's I blame the marketing for making it look like something it isn't Also for the people saying witcher was too long it's like reading a book read one chapter and continue when you have down time or on weekends I have an 9 to 5 job that's how I play the witcher was an long adventure I could get lost in it was great fun escape form real life and that's what games are After all is said and done and the bug's fixed this game will be forgotten as an above average experience Shame because CDPR built an bueatiful city it's lifeless Buildings don't make the city the people do and after you finish the sidequests all you have is an world that is a shooting gallery nothing else

    There I think I'm done with this game    … Expand

The rest of the game outside the prologue is very repetitive and the cracks begin to appear.

    The AI is terrible, worse than Farcry 3 which came out over ten years ago. The police spawning system is laughable (they spawn out of nowhere). Your character development is non-existent beyond the limited cosmetic changes you can make at the start, and what's worse is the constant adverts reminding you of the augmentations everyone else is enjoying around you.

    This game looks amazing, the storyline is interesting and probably the best I've played since Detroit become human, but beyond that, it's flat. A good analogy would be as wide as the ocean but as deep as a puddle.

    I think this game needed a good two more years of development. It would have given them time to really make the game perfect including working on the abysmal AI and including all the features they promised in the trailers and build-up to in the game itself (I'm guessing they cut a lot of content, way too many loose ends in the game and random dialogue which doesn't make sense). I think we would have forgiven them given what's happening in the world. This feels rushed and it's a real shame.    … Expand

    The game does no live up to its hype, and certainly it's not next gen as some like to believe.

    Pros:
    The world is huge and nicely packed with stuff so it does not feel overcrowded.
    The level design is great.
    The story and characters are both really well done.

    And that's all for the good parts of the game.

    Now for the cons:
    The shooter mechanics are really generic.
    The character progression system is boring and to top it, the game is not build in a way to make you want to upgrade, just find better weapons and kill every one.
    The weapons are boring, only 4 ranged types, and melee blades. The guns are all the same in each type, you don't want to upgrade because at a few minutes an enemy will drop one that has higher damage than the one you spend your upgrades on.
    The crafting and upgrading are a **** joke.
    The game economy sucks. Going to a weapons trader and giving enough guns to supply an army makes me only about 2-3k...
    The driving sucks.
    The A.I. is one of the worst I have ever seen.
    The **** idiotic cop spawning system. They will literally spawn right next to you even inside a small closed room. (that's not a bug, they made the system like this)

    The above are for the game without any bugs, it's just the way it is and will probably need mods to make it better.

    Now time for the bugs.
    Graphical bugs and glitches. Too much to say here, just go to YouTube and search for "Cyberpunk 2077 bugs compilation" or "Cyberpunk 2077 WTF & Funny Moments".
    NPC and other models disappearing or spawning out of nowhere.
    Player dying by falling from a small object on his path.
    Player (also inside a vehicle) getting launched to the sky and crashing to a stupid death. (I have lost a few times on hard missions this way, really frustrating)
    NPCs stuck inside objects.
    NPCs passing through objects or closed doors.
    NPCs using telekinesis and holding objects in the air. (if this is a feature I want it to)
    NPCs and objects hovering in the air.
    Bugged quests, that may not be able to be completed.

    There are probably more, but I don't want to lose more time on this.

    Finally the horrible performance even on pc. The game has the performance of a next gen game without the visual quality to back it up.

    This game has been a huge disappointment even without all the issues. After all the problems are fixed and the DLCs are out with additional content and gameplay improvements, the game may reach a 8/10.
    But it does not worth full price. Wait for the price to drop bellow $40 before you buy it,    … Expand

    I have to make this review because I've been waiting for this from the very first teaser trailer and I am disappointed by this.

    This could've been regarded as a masterpiece if it wasn't for the features that was cut out, less buggy, and an unoptimized mess.

    This could've been regarded as a masterpiece if it wasn't for the features that was cut out, less buggy, and an unoptimized mess.

    Blaming people for having an old-gen when it was advertised where it's aimed at. This was never a "next-gen" if it wasn't delayed and got released last April. No RTX 30 series cards, and no PS5, and Series X. The excuse would've been invalid but the amount of defending this game just because you are not experiencing bugs, glitches and running on high fps, then congrats on being part of the 10% who have high-end PC or just lucky.
    The minimum specs for PC however, was GTX 780 or RX 470, but they never mentioned how many fps they were getting. Instead, you have to find out when it was released.

    Now, I'm pointing out it's "missing" features, and "errors" or "flaws". If there is something that I have missed, then add it to your own list. This is also what I gathered from other people's opinions in which I agree with as I don't know how to put a review properly.

    Negatives:
    - There is a good bit amount of spelling errors on dialogues, signs, and on shards.
    - AI system as a whole is just disappointing (Enemies, Cops, Civilians, Cars), I thought it would be the same level as GTA V at least.
    - Gunplay is not that great, but I would say average, while it's somewhat a bit satisfying on my side still not good enough to carry on it's own.
    - Customization is lacking, they removed the car customization, no barbershop, and tattooist as people mentioned, and the character customization is just average as well. 2018's demo of their character customization is really good, it was easy to see because you can choose the color and not pick left or right and guess what color are they and not just that, there are other parts of it that they were proud to show.
    - Armor System, I really don't know why they decided to use the clothes as armor, I just thought maybe it would've been great if they put it on Cyberware as it actually makes sense because you replace your body with a better "system" or "mods".
    - RPG but instead was an action-adventure game, this is not a negative but I just think that this should be considered as false advertising.
    - No difference in 3 lifepaths, their difference only was the first 30 mins and only a few dialogue options and that's it. No replayability.
    - Open-world is dead, yeah sure, you get side activities if there is a robbing happening but that's it. No interactions at all. I'm not talking about getting into each and every building, but just the world itself.
    - Driving. Probably the most annoying handling on any cars i have ever seen in any game. The car's handling is so bad that it's hard to turn without over steering unless you drive 50mph. But if you drive 200 mp/h and you could see Jesus miles away before you turn. GTA V's handling on keyboard is miles better compared to this.

    Positive:
    The game's story is great, it's carrying the game so hard but barely because of the missing features that were promised. The characters as well. if it wasn't for these, it would've been a disaster.
    Johnny Silverhand - Keanu Reeves performance was great, I think his character fits very well to his voice because he's a stone-cold **** People may not agree with me here but I actually think he did a good job as Johnny Silverhand. There are some serious lines that I shouldn't laugh but because of his voice it makes me chuckle a bit.

    Overall, I do like the game, however with these missing features and NPCs it's hard not to notice it, the optimization of this is not forgivable. If they should've just kept their mouth shut until a year before release and blaming people for being hyped (while I do not allow sending death threats) then there would be no high expectations, but instead, they promised us lies and deception and eventually bit them in the ass.

    I hope they add those features eventually as it is possible, but right now it's not worth the 60$ and it's a goddamn mess.    … Expand

    I came to Cyberpunk with a degree of suspicion. There was a huge amount of hype and a lot of promises that made me suspicious that we might be building ourselves up for another No Man's Sky... and I'm pretty certain that is where we have ended up. Massive expectations and a mediocre game.

There was a huge amount of hype and a lot of promises that made me suspicious that we might be building ourselves up for another No Man's Sky... and I'm pretty certain that is where we have ended up. Massive expectations and a mediocre game.

    If you want the TL/DR, there is a good game in there under the bugs and other crap. I've enjoyed it well enough and will probably finish the game, but won't be coming back. For something that sets out to be immersive, Cyberpunk falls pretty damned short. Maybe get it when it comes on sale.

    Before I start it is worth pointing out that I'm coming at this game with a high-end PC so haven't experienced any of the performance issues that an awful lot of people have been having.

    The Good Bits
    * The story: It is entertaining and the characters are well written. Some people might disagree on that, these things are quite subjective, but I have, for the most part, quite enjoyed that aspect of the game.
    *The immersive aspects the story: Sitting down and drinking while talking to people is a nice touch and they do take time in the conversations to flesh out the characters.

    The Bad Bits
    * The Bugs: Holy mackerel Batman, are there a lot of these! Random T-posing NPCs/corpses, suddenly teleporting across the screen, turning bald when you look in the mirror, unlootable robot bodies, your health bar suddenly showing zero HP and never going up or down...
    Traffic/ NPC Spawning: Driving down the road and having a truck spawn 5 feet in front of your vehicle is pretty damned aggravating.
    * Vehicles: Driving is painful. I only just realised there was a handbrake. It doesn't appear to do anything.
    * Character choices: There are only one or two main missions where you can do anything that make an iota of difference to what happens in the world.

    The Bits that Could have been so much more...
    * The Graphics: Don't get me wrong, the ray tracing is very pretty, but the reflective surfaces don't reflect you or a large proportion on NPCs (I'm assuming because they pop out of existence when you turn away from them) and that really breaks immersion once you realise that you are a vampire. Interestingly a modder has discovered there is a line in one of the files that you can change from 'False' to 'True' to allow your reflection to show. Why is it off by default? Because your character doesn't actually have a head model most of the time. Once you realise this you can also see this in shadows - V's head looks like the reflection of a volley ball.
    * Character Customisation: What is the point? You literally only see V when you are driving a car/motorbike, on the menu screens or when you are looking into the bathroom mirror (you walk up to them and activate them and then it shows your face... as a bald person if you happen to have a hat/glasses on). You also can't change V's appearance after creation. Not that it matters that much.
    * Equipment Upgrades: In theory you can keep a piece of equipment you love and keep upgrading it as you level... but the cost goes up each time you do that to the point where it becomes impossible. So generally it's better to just forget about it altogether and use the best crap in your inventory. Yes, V will look like a clown, but it's not like you see V anyway.
    * The perks and body mods: Kinda feel like something that was tacked on and isn't that necessary. You could complete the game without bothering.
    * Non-lethal attacks: Is there any point to not straight up killing people apart from the very small number of missions where they say you should aim to take a boss down without killing them? There's a non-lethal takedown you can use on mooks in stealth mode, but I've yet to ever see a reason why you'd use that instead of killing someone.    … Expand

The action pleasure in the game is amazing, I can say that it is a feature that can really lock the player, whether it is the music played in the conflict sequence or the atmosphere. The universe of the game is also well studied. Night City is a dreamy environment. Although the episode design and story start flat at first, it can attract the actor in the middle. Besides, the variety in the game attracted my attention. There is nothing in the game ... You can do everything ... And let's get to the parts that upset us ... One of the biggest mistakes of CD Projekt Red was that they announced the game too early. Seven years ago, all the actors gassed with a trailer. But it was under the gas that I was afraid of me anyway .. There is no such thing as optimized in the game and it is technically deprived. In every sequence of the game, every time you play, there are bugs and many more errors... As a result, if we say for today, Cyberpunk 2077 is not a game that I can recommend from technical aspects and gameplay. But if any of you are curious about the story, there is a good story above average. Get it, play it. Or enjoy your torrenting (xd) But play it after 5 months.

Npcs either pedestrian or drivers have absolutely no day and night cycle or routine. The police spawning is complete **** The lifepaths were an utter slap in the face, they last for 15 minutes and all railroad you into the same story. There are no minigames or immersive activities that you can engage in such as dancing, drinking, eating, hooking up with pre-determined npcs or going to strip clubs. That montage was aboslutely ridiculous and they still used it in the trailers as if to say that you could do all that The side stuff mostly includes killing or stealing something. Very limited character creator. Very few acessories and tattoos.

    Was i supposed to care about Jackie ? Because you showed a damned montage and the game said that we were all buddies ? That's not how relationships work.

    The street cred system also seems to work only so you can buy new guns, mods or cyberware as well as new gigs (shoot or steal). I've only seen my street cred value work once when some gangers were harassing a street vendor but backed off when they knew who i was. Other than that you might as well be some nameless merc,
    The world doesn't react to you, people don't talk or write about how much of a badass you are. Romance options are very limited and even after you finish the romance you can barely interact with them after. One of the romance options will text you ONCE after the romance is completed and that is it.
    Driving is very floaty and cars are very hard to control. Also a personal complaint is how lame stealth takedowns are, it's always the same two animations of you breaking the persons neck. Much prefer the takedowns in the Far Cry games.
    Story and characters are quite good though, really liked Johnny, Takemura and Panam, some of the side missions are super interesting, like the one you do for one of the candidates for mayor of Night City.
    The city is absolutely beatiful too and really comes alive at night with all the neon.
    Gameplay is ok, the shooting is nothing too innovative but works fine.

    The lifepaths, lack of immersive side activities, limited romance options and AI are what soured my opinion towards this game. I will be very wary of the next games CDPR puts out.    … Expand

Cyberpunk is not the 'next generation rpg' as they described it. There's nothing groundbreaking about it. The story is pretty good but beyond that, it's nothing new and its not polished. The city is amazing, i have to hand them that. The map is truly immersive and well done but that's where it stops. It's not a terrible game but any means but it's nothing to look twice at.

    It doesn't have the bugs on PC that the console users are dealing with so that's something but it feels like it's missing features. NPC's will randomly appear on the sidewalk and disappear into thin air just as quickly. The driving is not great and while the character creation is pretty good, you cant do the simple things like change your character's visuals (change hair color for example). The tech tree is pretty nice and detailed and they do allow you to respec your character but it costs a ridiculous amount of money and makes it not worth it.

    Save your money and wait for a discount or maybe my review will change once they release more content in 2021.    … Expand

    The issue is they clearly cut a lot from the game to make the date. Here are the main issues from someone who pre-ordered, loved the Witcher series and really wanted this to work:
    1. The city feels vapid and empty despite NPCs - they just wander up and down - the same fat guy with the waddle with different clothes, the guy with an itchy shoulder with different clothes. The same gangs, in the same areas. The police who appear out of thin air, but also lose interest within a block of drivingrunning.
    2. Sure a lot of houses you entered in TW3 were samey, but at least you could go in them. In CB2027 you simply cannot go into many buildings in the city, you are kept almost exclusively on the street until a particular mission. The lifts in buildings only go to the floors related to your current mission.
    3. There is no real progression of my character, other than some stats. I cannot upgrade my apartment, or move. My car is what I buy or get as a reward - no customisation at all . Even with Roach I could add a new saddle, trophy...
    4. They didn't keep the mechanic from TW3 where the character you are following will match your speed. You either are slowed to a walk, or if you break out of the "envelope" they run after you!
    5. You jog everywhere, you cannot just walk, which makes point 4 weird!
    6. It is clear that the more open nature of missions was cut from earlier demonstrations - remember Meredith, they showed you scouting it out with Jackie - which makes more sense with the conversation with the guard about whether you are alone.
    7. Sick of the breaching mechanic after the 50th time.
    8. 90% of conversation options have zero effect on the outcome, and in many cases how they respond to you.

    Bugs aside, I was looking forward to this game and feel severely let down. Despite having had a fair chunk of time playing it and enjoying some of it, it still feels like a poor facade for what the original intent promised.    … Expand

    There are several obvious elements missing (being cut).
    There's no public transportation system implemented in the game (I think they introduced it before, but cut it as well).

    After playing almost 100 hours (no life for me), I gotta say everything besides romance and main story are pretty boring and tedious. I tried all the endings with both female and male V, and my favourite is leaving NC with Panan and Judy.
    I would like to give a 6/10, since the characters and majority of the main story line are attractive and interesting; also I hope the CDPR could fix the bug fast, implement the missing components, expand much much more story line, and release DLC soon.    … Expand

    I just cant find any reason why someone would want to play it.
    Cars - sucks, fighting - unbalanced (I play as a netrunner and oh god, dont try it...), story - very short and just boring, choices - mosty irrelevant, World - lifeless, graphics - just OK...except food, map - ugly


    The only two good things in cyberpunk 2077 are bikes, and of course Panam

    It certainly looks really good, if you can run it.
    Otimization will get there but even if most of the bugs are fixed and the performance will get better i can hardly give this more than 6/10. Its a mediocre game, which isnt bad thing but i would have loved this to be so much better.

    I try not to talk about bugs and performance, i think enough people are doing this already.

    There is just nothing really standing out whatsoever.
    I finished the game and cant remember a single "breathtaking" moment.
    I tried to like it so much more, but even after 40 hours, seeing a lot, doing a bunch of sidequests, its just this bland mix of things you already encountered in other games - often executed better than in CP2077.

    The city and spaces are vast but there is so little interaction with it.
    Ill never understand how "a bigger map" than other games or a previous game is something to look forward to.
    Make it half the size and focus on something else - as a player you still wont EVER see everything - even after 100 hours of playing.

    Most of the Skillsystem is useless.
    Im not saying that its boring because I personally dont like it.
    Im sure there are people who like to play a certain style so there is a lot to choose from but...
    Getting stronger doesnt feel rewarding at all. Levelcap on items makes doing harder quests for the thrill completely obsolete and not fun at all.
    On the hardest difficulty "hits" just randomly oneshot you more often and people have more Hp - thats hardly nice balancing.

    No Quests that give you the feeling of being in danger.
    No high risk high reward scenarios.
    The loot and even the process of looting felt horrible.
    You only go for color indicators, nothing to really look forward to.
    The inventory takes you completely out of the game - too slow, too clunky, no clear overview of anything - selling is an extremely painful since it lets you sell the things you have equipped and always asks if you REALLY want to sell a legendary item or something you got equipped, also its very slow.

    Ill leave it at that, i could go on and on and on.
    It feels like CDPR fell victim to the same thing every company thats too big, or that got too big quickly becomes a victim to: The wrong people are in charge, the wrong people make important decisions - not only bad decisions but also just moneydriven decisions - its not a project of "heart" anymore, Im certain its not the lack talent of some people but it feels like the get shut down by the "moneymen". Its just another title to fill the wallet.
    Too bad it has to be like this, i guess there is no way around it.
    Even Blizzard and Bethsda got caught - but only after a long reign of wonderful sunshine.

    I dont think DLC's can fix Cyberpunk - maybe im just saying this out of desperation but i honestly think there are just too many things that are not good (enough) in this game.

    I appreciate the effort, it was a brave try, sadly to no success in my opinion - not even close.    … Expand

Not entirely bad, but certainly underwhelming and sometimes even boring. Cyberpunk 2077 is one of those games that tries to do everything, but gets nothing right.

    By far it's biggest issue is the discrepancy of features promised by CDPR and features actually implemented in the game. The ubiquitously hyped "life path system" practically doesn't exist and the often teased aspect of player choice is mostly limited to the last mission. Another serious shortcoming is the game's open world design. Despite being large and always having something going on, the player can interact with hardly anything present. There is next to no object continuity and believability suffers greatly from a lack of depth. So, somewhat ironically, this vast, busy open world ends up feeling lifeless, artificial and empty. I could go on and on talking about the games shortcomings, because they are plenty. The lackluster combat, rng elements, uninspired story and abysmal technical state are just a few of them. Honestly the only commendation would go to Keanu Reeves, who manages to pull off one of the most nuanced and straight up badass sidekick characters of video game history.

    Anyways, Cyberpunk 2077 is definitley not a worthy successor to the monument of good game design that was The Witcher 3 and it certainly doesn't hold a candle to triple-A titles released in the recent past, such as RDR2. It's fair to say that CDPR likely lost most of it's credibility within its fanbase with this this release, which manages to under-deliver in every regard. In the end the only remaining question is, how the supposed poster child of the video games industry could justify spending nearly 8 years on creating such a mediocre experience.    … Expand

    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.
