    A mediocre overrated product full of broken promises, marketing lies, bugs, glitches and the credibility drop of CDprojekt red.

    Create your character. Choose how to fight. Make choices in the dialogue. So are we free? No. If you can't even choose the person you love, are you free? There are too many limiting items in the game. Pity. It fell victim to popular culture.

    Игра очень хорошая в плане сюжета и миссий единственная её проблема в техническом плане на консолях и слабых пк. Советую играть когда выйдет патч. А так игра хорошая советую всем. Удачи

    The game is not finished, I might review it again in February 2021. At the state it is right now it is almost unplayable (unless you have a very powerful pc which is something cd pr never clarified)

    Gave it a full positive review on Steam, however the game as I played 150 hours, Night City feels empty, and where others surely highlights the comparitions to game I have even thought of.

    Cons:
    - The bugs are terrible.
    - The world feels dead after the first 10 hours. - The NPCs walking around the world only give one-liners and walk around like zombies. - The police don't have cars and therefore can't chase you even if they wanted to. - Police spawn directly in front of you giving you zero chance to survive them and disappear when you drive 50 meters away - The
    Cons:

    - The NPCs walking around the world only give one-liners and walk around like zombies.
    - The police don't have cars and therefore can't chase you even if they wanted to.
    - Police spawn directly in front of you giving you zero chance to survive them and disappear when you drive 50 meters away
    - The controller sensitivity is really bad, even for an RPG. - The controller layout often leads to actions you don't intend to such as skipping dialogue when you need to crouch, going to the main menu instead of the in-game menu.
    - There is little to do outside of missions.
    - The AI is really bad, worse than most games of the last decade and more.
    - There is too much uninteresting loot to pick up and just clogs up your inventory.
    - Buying cars is a hassle from the constant messages to the poor interface to browse them.
    - Weapons seem repetitive after a while with little variety.
    - Lack of variety in weapon attachments and customization.
    - Clothing shops are too expensive and lack a variety of clothing, usually only having low-level items with only 30 items per shop.
    - Can't customize your hairstyle after spawn screen for screenshots and general gameplay or anything else about your physical character other than clothes. (This is an RPG you should be able to customize your character period)
    - Finding good crafting recipes seems borderline impossible.
    - NPCs drive like complete idiots. They can't switch lanes to go around cars. They will stop dead in the middle of highways for no good reason. They will run into you and your car without trying to stop. They will get stuck in intersections and cause massive traffic and can't go around each other. It's so bad.
    - This game feels way too perverted with little variety in themes open world.
    - But somehow there is only one male and female joytoy (prostitute) in the entire world. (Makes no sense)
    - The open-world does not seems to react to the story as you go along. Major things happen and not much usually changes in the world itself.
    - All the streets are named, but you can barely see 95% of the street names. You can't see street or venue names on the main map or minimap making playing with no HUD near impossible.
    - Feels like the entire game needs a massive DLC just to make it complete
    - Did I mention bugs on PC. I have had to reinstall the game three times, restart the game over 5 times, and reload saves a few dozen times.
    - The vast majority of things in this game is fake and non-interactable.
    - Food is practically useless because it only has out of combat buffs that cannot be consumed in combat.
    - you have practically infinite medical supplies within the first hour making healing guaranteed and the game less threatening.
    - Your character will overheat and take damage no matter what you do.

    Pros:
    - Good story
    - A variety of side missions that all feel worth doing.
    - A variety of ways to build your character.
    - The graphics are gorgeous.
    - A city LAYOUT so lifelike that I never fast travel.
    - The cars all feel different.
    - Currency in this game feels like you actually have to earn it.
    - Likeable characters.
    - Plenty of skills to acquire and upgrade.

    I put 80 hours into Cyberpunk. Only because I was messing around with the photo mode a lot, which is really cool and shows the beautiful graphics. Then I was also busy with the MANY MANY side jobs and gigs. Fluff content. As for the main story? Well it's very short and very unsatisfying when you get to the end. Which I couldn't believe was the ending already once I got to it.

    Overall with Cyberpunk I expected a next-level mind blowing game. All the hype and description of what their game would be turned out to be a disappointment in reality. What we got was a GTA game with prettier graphics and less options, a short story, and lots of fluff busy work.

    Potential is there and it really was a fun game but so many bugs, issues with basic mechanics, terrible rendering, zero customization, very linear, and the end game makes no sense. These are all things that could be fine-tuned to win GOTY, however, based on this terrible release I would keep this at a 5 since it was fun but zero immersion.

    I was lucky enough to play the game on more or less capable PC and to avoid game breaking bugs, but even if we forget about all the bugs, performance issues and so on, we have dozens of problems, from promised gameplay variability to terribly hollow open world.
    Bugs will be fixed someday, but will anybody add variability to more then only one quest mission in whole game? Don't think so.
    Destroyed studio reputation and disappointment of the year for me.

    The game has a really good story, great characters and a beautiful world... but that's about it. The rest seems to be really mediocre. The open world activities are uninspired, the shooting feels clunky, the customization options are very limited and the AI of some NPCs (like... all the pedestrians, cops and drivers in the game) is taken straight from a PS2 game.

Based on trailers and gameplay videos published since 2018 I expected a groundbreaking masterpiece, a true RPG sandbox where my choices matter and where I can immerse myself in a living open world, Sadly I got a good linear story in an empty husk called Night City.

It’s luring, it’s mesmerizing, it’s engaging, and it will only get better with time.

    The shear size and complexity of this game make it pretty much impossible to be problem free on launch without a rather extensive open beta testing program which didn’t exist. I think it’s rather amazing what they’ve accomplished behind closed doors of the studio. Maybe if the developers weren’t being pressured to release the game on 10 year old hardware they could have focused more on making it better for the platforms it belongs on to begin with.

    Sorry I can’t speak for old consoles, but on PC this game is a marvel. I doubt any real players with decent hardware would disagree. (By real players I mean; not washed out reviewers who spent 20 hours on the game and gave an ignorant, clueless review). Personally, I’ve spent over 120 hours on the game and my second play through was even more exciting than the first. I’m looking forward to many more exciting updates to content in the future, and hope the game finally gets the credit it deserves as one of the best games ever made.

    Cyberpunk is guilty of the worst possible crimes for a game : it is repetitive and boring.
    After the initial excitment and novelty, you quickly get tired of the dialogues and the fights.

    CDPR had to decide whether to do a RPG or an action game : they ended up doing neither of them.
    It does not have the depth of a Witcher nor the playability and excitement of Dying Light or GTA.
    Crafting leaves a lot to be desired; so do the clothing and other customization options.
    All in all, a sincere disappoinment and more importantly, really not worth neither the hype nor the money.

    The game has interesting story quests. And this is the only advantage of the game.
    The world is empty and lifeless. The city does not look like the city of the future (compare with the cities from the movies: Judge Dredd, Blade Runner or Ghost in the Shell). The transport is boring, the controls are disgusting.
    If we compare the game with competitors (GTA5, Watch Dogs or Sleeping Dogs)

    Besides, optimization is simply not there. And the number of bugs is just off scale.

    I will admit that there is a good game underneath all the crap, but it's so hard to find it sometimes, especially when you are constantly reminded by "development artifacts" about all the missing features, broken and unbalanced mechanics, untapped potential, and the legion of bugs, that I feel I'm just beta testing the game.

    Lastly, even if the game was not in this rough of a state, I would have still given it a 7 or 8 (basically penalizing 2 or 3 points) because of the lies they sold us pre-launch, coupled with the fact that they knew what they were doing, but chose to not be forthright and "forced" reviewers (although they are partly to blame as well, especially the 10/10 ones...come on!! seriously? ) to not show their own footage and also withhold any info regarding the console versions.

    With that said, I do need to mention, that I have an unhealthy love/hate relationship with the game... I find myself playing it every day & I'm now at ~150h. And I hate myself and the game for it. :))

    I'm not sure what keeps bringing me back to it, but I surmise it's a combination of = too much longing for a Cyberpunk RPG + too much waiting for the game to come out + self-punishment tendencies + it's characters/story + some things that I've yet to become conscious of yet.

    I wish I never bought it in this state and I wish I would have only been made aware of it 6 months or 1 year from now...just like I did with Witcher 3

    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.
