    Game looks good, story sounds fun, great universe, but so poorly optimized that it's barely playable without giving me nausea. I can't play games with such low framerate.

    Fix your game.

    Ridiculous. After 9 years of development they fail to deliver what they promised.

    Like many others I agree that even without the bugs and glitches this game is an non-imaginative mess. A large mix of bland art/music, poorly designed game-mechanics and headache inducing UI. I am not even gonna go into the scripted corridor style mess either.

    Overhyped garbage.

    I'm going to say it:

    The game is bad and horribly incomplete. The story is disjointed trash that goes from A to B to M to V to Z. Huge gaps where plot and character development belonged. The gameplay we were promised: Innovative and challenging. The gameplay we got: Reskinned Fallout/Skyrim with tired and moldy combat. NPCs that are utterly broken and dumb. The world we were

    The game is bad and horribly incomplete. The story is disjointed trash that goes from A to B to M to V to Z. Huge gaps where plot and character development belonged.

    The gameplay we were promised: Innovative and challenging.

    The gameplay we got: Reskinned Fallout/Skyrim with tired and moldy combat. NPCs that are utterly broken and dumb.

    The world we were promised: deep and open with all of these stores and buildings!

    The world we got: A very big open base map, then a bunch of tall buildings that are empty or even worse, completely inaccessible. Stores that are all copied and pasted, 1 after another. Quests that are no better than WoW Vanilla quests that are 15 years old at this point.

    In my opinion, they got to 2018 and saw they weren't able to deliver the things they promised with their engine. Instead of shifting or retooling the engine, they decided they'd go hire a big voice actor that is popular in the genre and rewrite the entire game. I wish I had some actual details for behind the scenes, and maybe they will come out some day, but I have a strong gut feeling that this is pretty much what occurred.

    Overall, I give Cyberpunk 2077 a 40%. Nothing new. Tons of bugs. A very forgettable and unfinished story.

    Glad I (didn't) buy it.

    Heck, one might say its both the most cyber and most punk thing one can do by pirating cyberpunk.

    I haven't finished the main story yet. But the huge amount of gameplay/immersion breaking bugs, poor AI, and performance issues even on high-end pc all keep bashing my experience to the negative side. The marketing of the game during the last two years promised a lot and only little was delivered in the current version 1.04. Overall, CP2077 is rushed and it is so unfortunate.

    The gameplay is very shallow and the choices inconsequential. It's more borderlands than witcher 3, and there is very little punk to be found.
    It's shiny, but not chrome and the game feels early access with many pointless mechanics or half assed concepts and designs

    As a studio they have a long standing reputation for charging headlong into problems, verging on the brink of bankruptcy, throwing crunch and "can-do" attitude at it. And it has worked for them in the past; Witcher 2, Witcher 3 and Thronebreaker are highly regarded games. As are the Witcher 3 expansions. Even Witcher 1, despite its many bugs, shortcomings and clunky control issues at the time, is mostly remembered fondly these days.

    But the day finally came when Icarus flew too close to the sun, when throwing crunch and man-hours at a problem wasn't enough. With Cyberpunk 2077 the studio forged into a completely new territory for them; completely new visual style, new weapon mechanics, driving mechanics, hacking mechanics, completely different lore and universe etc.

    The smart thing do to would have been to make a smaller, tighter story-driven game in the cyberpunk universe. Something to dip their toes while figuring out shooting and driving mechanics and how really big modern cities work. But no, that apparently isn't the CD Projekt way. Their new game was to be the biggest and boldest interpretation of a modern future city ever conceived, intended to make Rockstar look like wannabe upstarts.

    But sadly it didn't work, whatever the failings of Cyberpunk 2077 are they aren't to be blamed on the developers but on the outright hubris exhibited by upper management. You can't make such a big studio turn on a dime and have them develop a type of game they've never developed before. Or maybe you can but it's an extremely high-risk play and in this case here the end product has suffered enormously, the reputation of CDPR has been forever tarnished and I'm sure there are hundreds of developers who wonder if it was really worth their time.

    CD Projekt needs a serious management overhaul, as a studio they've grown massively over the years but they've seriously underestimated the long-term planning and steadfast vision required to run such a studio. They managed to make Witcher 3 because it was a universe, setting and collection of tools they were familiar with. But when the time came to go in a new direction they grossly underestimated the difficulty of doing so, this is not a sign of good management or leadership.

    I would recommend to CD Projekt that their next game be a Witcher universe game with a smaller scope and tighter plot than Witcher 3, and make it perfect and bug free. Something to get back on their fans good side again, and patch Witcher 3 with better graphics and a few bug fixes and tweaks for free. Then in 6-7 years time revisit Cyberpunk again, and this time make the game you actually wanted to make because clearly you didn't manage it this time. The new Cyberpunk 2 team should start now.

    We are talking about the pc version here so any negative reviews about ps4 should be deleted.

    On PC this game is A W E S O M E. And I can repeat - A W E S O M E. For me it's even better than witcher 3 cause i like future/sf/cyberpunk. This is the biggest and the most beautiful city in the whole gaming world.

    I spent a total of 80h playing this game and over thousand more waiting for it and hyping it. I had a lot of faith in this game because of all the success CPJKR gathered from The Witcher 3 and all its DLCs. I thought they would never release an unfinished product but boy, was I wrong.

    This game is a shell of what it could be, features where trimmed to the extent that, instead of playing and actual open world RPG with thousands of options, places to go, skills to learn, you end up in a dead (although beautiful) city. The NPCs IA is one of the dumbest I've ever seen in a game, the police system is straight up something out of a test/alpha build, the combat IA is also extremely disappointing, the vehicle system is also difficult and some vehicles are almost impossible to drive, theres absolutely NO CUSTOMIZATION in this game. There are a lot of problems and the game is in rough state, and I didn't even mentioned all the bugs this game has. The most bugs I've ever seen in a "finished" game.

    I still can't fathom to understand how this game got so much praise from international reviewers that couldn't even see all the glaring problematic features, beyond the bugs. The amount of 100/100 astouneshes me, the more I play the game the more disappointed I was with it and after I finished it, I realized what this game could've been. It really could've been the best game of the decade, instead it will go down as one of the most disastreous projects in the AAA industry to ever see the light of day.

    I pre-ordered this game, played, enjoyed the main story and the beauty that is Night City, and that's it. If I were to do it again, I would wait until a good steam sale came up to pick this game with 50% off only for the story and the benchmarks that the city produces in my system.

    It could've been one of the best games of all time. But it is not. It is a reminder for us to never, EVER pre order games.

    Very disappointing. Graphics are ok but the engine is poorly optimized. You can clearly see that they tried hard to get raytracing into the game for no apparent reason and forgot about other more important things on the way. Like gameplay for example.

Or the promised next-gen open world. As others already pointed out the world is empty and non-responsive. Witcher 3 did way better in that regard. RDR2 is closer to what I would consider next-gen open world. They didn't even try with Cyberpunk 2077. Driving physics suck, especially the motor bikes. GPS is not working properly, changes routes while you're going, switches objectives on the way for no reason, etc. Distance to quests is not shown in the journal, wtf?! Bugs everywhere, NPCs glitching through walls, bodies flying around... One of the funniest things I've ever seen are the traffic lights that switch to green when you're approaching in a car (even when they just switched to red) because implementing logic for stopping and waiting is so difficult, it's actually next-next-gen. And thank you very much for taking the time to implement a f*cking p3nis designer with pubic hair styles and bell end tattoos and what not instead of making the basic game loop work. Expand

    It is not even a game. It is a bunch of assosiations with a better games like GTA, Deus Ex, Prey (2017), Watch Dogs and many many more. If Cyberpunk was realised in 2013 - it could be 8/10 game somewhen in 2015 when they managed to fix all bugs, but realising this game in 2020...it is 5/10 at best

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is a very disappointing and remains an ultimately flawed game. It is erratic, has what I think is a poor and largely pointless story line in which, the protagonist is basically a dead man. It offers a totally meaningless experience in which basically, everything you do, all the people you meet, the jobs, the good or the bad you choose etc is totally pointless because regardless, you are going to die either at the end or shortly after the end. The story breaks the game almost form the start point and it's quite obvious where the writers were going to take this story regardless of their other options because like most writers these days, they think that this concept of meaningless and futility is what they want to produce and establish in people and societies mind. It is weak writing, poor in its entire concept and does the opposite of why people play games. On top of this the game is still full of bugs, pit falls and a significant level of barren boring dialogue and minor stories.

    CDPR get some things right like the multiple avenues to complete most things. Do I punch my way, sneak my way, talk my way of think my way through? They all work. Levelling up seems slow and I'm never really sure how it happens when it does but it's an interesting progression tree.

    Weapons are, apart from a few exceptions very vanilla and samey. Death happens far too easily. Choices are actually quite linear which is the opposite of what was supposed to happen... There are lots of things to pick on (and this is after years worth of improvement).

    The biggest and most painful failures though are the fact that CDPR clearly WANT the world to be like this. They have publicly said that cybernetics and human machine interface is the way to go and they clearly have a love fest over their own Cyberpunk ideas that they are advertising the ideas and ideals of such an environment. I find this terrifying and sadly I think it is part of a mass advertising spree to adapt people to accept such a progression away from humanity. Maybe I'm wrong but just like the GLBTI stuff that was light about 10-20 years ago and now infects everything from Health and Safety to western attitudes to politics with other powers and even of abusive control of other, weaker nations. I have a hunch CDPR have become tangled up in something much bigger than games and interesting stories. This is harmful to society in general but also destroys the gaming industry.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It breaks my heart to give this game such a poor review.. I won't even dock it for bugs although there are plenty. The biggest disappointments for me are the extremely short story.. the sub-par boring side quests (100's of Go kill 4 choomba's standing around, where half the time their AI doesn't even kick in at all) and the sheer amounts of clearly cut content.

    Your home has no point or meaning, the NPC's you meet and make choices around just disappear and do nothing in the story.. the car driving is really awful.. there are no unscripted chase sequences or shooting out your window.

    The city is completely lifeless, NPC's have zero interaction outside of spouting the same voice line over and over.. you can't enter any buildings at all.. and the ones you can enter are usually just like a empty store.. that sells some random items you don't need.

    This game lacks any life or exploration. It's shocking to me that this game took 8 years to make when Witcher 3 took half that time is exponentially more interesting, indepth and exciting to explore.

    It has its atmosphere going for it, yes. The plot is overdone, but still well-written, and contains enough twists and parallel lines to give it SOME measure of replayability if you want to see all possible variations.
    It has some well-written characters, mostly the available romance options. The major characters have actual ARCS, going through development as the game progresses, and I have to say the models for these are top-notch too. Of course, this kind of attention comes with tradeoffs, more on that later.
    Finally, there's enough lore and filler content to really flesh out the world. Shards, newscasts, dialogs, etc. give the world a well-written, complete atmosphere.

    But then there are the negatives. And there are far too many to ignore.
    First off, the glitches. More than once, I've had the game "forget" playing a dialog, so I'm left wondering what just happened and what should I answer. Then there are the times when people clip into objects in the scene - when it's just a civilian, it might be funny, but when it's the last enemy standing between you and a completely stealthy mission, it's just plain infuriating; not to mention when your bike's front wheel clips into something in the road and catapults you 64 stories high which immediately fails your mission.
    Balance is also more than halfway out the window. I had a specific build in mind to start with (Monowire+hacking, with a side of assault when things go loud), so I leveled with that in mind, emphasizing Cool. But then it turns out Monowire is based on Cool but plays off the Street Brawler skill tree, while playing like a bladed weapon by all accounts (meaning it should play off of Blades instead, given that it cuts and applies Bleeding). Hacking can also be blown out of balance, allowing me to destroy entire platoons one by one with Short Circuit+Synaptic Burnout combos, while staying outside mission zones to avoid triggering the enemy AI.
    And finally, the models. While the major characters get detailed, well-sculpted models, the "extras" get a choice of maybe ten generic models. Although the game was advertised with unique civilians populating the city, in reality, everyone is just a combination of a generic model, a generic behavior (which consists of "walk at constant speed", "talk to partner", and "stand still looking around") and a single sentence to say on contact.

    Overall, it's hard to believe this game has been in development for eight years. It shows an astonishing lack of bughunting AND playtesting for its hype and budget, and does not justify its price in any way.

Even Redline: Gang Warfare 2066 (a 1999 PC exclusive game) has it figured out better for a single player game! Coop could also solve this problem too, but driving mainly exists to get from mission to mission which is extremely lame! CDPR please go play the olde console exclusive game called; Roadkill!

Car upgrades are not a thing in Cyberpunk 2077, and CDPR should have played Gran Turismo, and every game that copies it's formula, with my favorite being Flatout 2 which plays a lot like the olde Midway Rush games! I only love arcade racing games, and really hate simulators, and only brought up Gran Turismo because that is the game that seriously started the vehicle upgrade trend in racing games with way more options than Road Rash 3 or some of the older racing games (look at that game's vehicle count)! I love upgrading my vehicles as a reward, and it also makes racing games far more immersive! You can't use the boats in the game, or fly! The character creator is nowhere near as good as the one used in the Saints Row game series! All you get are presets with no fine tuning adjustments like the Saints Row games have! Also the ending of the game is disappointing when you decide to be sent back to Earth, because there is no FMV to show this! Expand

    The result of all promises and promo campaigns from CDPR is just very mediocre game. AI is broken, lots of bugs, police spawn is awful, stealth is very bad. But graphics and main story (very short) is good. Run it on PC (rtx 3070).

    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.
