    Since this is to review the PC version and not all platforms like most of the comments.

    The game is awesome. I have only found minor glitches in 12h of gaming, nothing special so far. My only complaint is demanding the game is and I'm using a 3070.

    For console players, install an SSD and you game should work just fine

I was hyped to the maximum levels but still I'm not disappointed by anything. It is fully engaging world and story to me. I want to read everything about the world I'm finding in the game. I skipped reading some books I found in Witcher 3. It is maybe because I maybe am more interested in Cyberpunk lore than I was in fantasy like Witcher. I just played around 7 hours so far so I will see how things will be as I continue but for now it is masterpiece to me. I'm totally hooked. Therefore 10 now but if I will find something that will disappoint me or the overall experience will be lower after finishing it maybe will be 9...… Expand

    Great game and new masterpiece to rule them all. You need a powerful PC but to be fair, that’s already stated in the official system requirements unless you lack basic reading and comprehension skills. 10/10 would buy another copy again.

    Night City is amazing, gigantic, insanely detailed.

    CD Project RED, thank you for this masterpiece. You saved the 2020 game year!

    Playing on PS4 Pro, the game looks and feels amazing.

    But, despite all the issues, this is still one of my all time favorite games. The world building is absolutely amazing, the attention to detail shows a great amount of love and passion was put into this world. The shooting, weapons and loot are of the highest quality but there seems to be an endless supply of content. The combat AI is actually pretty good, and makes for engaging fights, and higher difficulty settings make you engage in more of the weapons, mods, and engagement options.

    The story, voice acting and directing, and the dialogue are top notch. This goes through all the main quest and the side quests.

    The density of content is the highest that has ever been seen in an open world this large. Everything is hand crafted, no procedural generation, giving a feeling of quality and importance to every square inch of the game. The insides of the buildings are packed with content and lovingly crafted.

    Despite all of the bugs, the game has a very high quality to it. There is very little clipping and a very high level of detail in making all the animations look realistic down to the smallest details. All of the mechanics, systems and menus are very intuitive and easy to engage with, making it so there is no reason not to use every last feature.

    I honestly could keep going for days, talking about how amazing this game is. I understand the controversies behind this game, but I can't deny the love, passion, and long hours of work that went into this game by the developers. I am angry at CDPR for how they handled the release of this game, but that wasn't the fault of the developers, and I truly believe that this game will make a massive turn around over the next 6 months to a year. I gave it a 10, not because it's perfect, but because, despite all of its flaws it still managed to become one of my all time favorite games.    … Expand

    The game is amazing. Possible one of the best games ever made. Great story telling, choices and consequences that matter, and which NPCs react to. Unique endings for your choices. Even the "bad" ending was so good. Keep it up CDPR!

    No, this isn't GTA in the future. Or Red Dead Redemption either.
    It's a full on RPG with RPG elements and RPG story-driven pace, and it's one of the best (if not the best) of this generation in that regard.
    It's not a perfect game, there are plenty of bugs and some balancing issues, but setting a new standard (in city-building, narration) in an entire genre is something worth of the top mark.

    And gun play? Definitely better than all previous RPG, including the outer worlds. I do not play FP shooter, so maybe they are better. But that will be like comparing apple to orange, as FPS depends on the twitch based play and agility of the player's finger, while RPG depends on the character's skill.

    But the world is beautiful, immersive and impressive. And The graphic is top notched.
    The skill system is good, even though I wish it provides even more options, but what is there is enough to build a great character.

    And to have more of a challenge, play on higher difficulty setting and come back to tell me AI is not intelligent and will not take cover or such. (This is directed at one Nagisanzeninz)

    Quests are good and well voiced and executed, and at times hits you in the gut.

    So for me, it is a 10/10.

I feel bad that they were forced to rush this out the door without being able to do more beta testing to polish it up.

It's the standard of these era - trying to be different.

    Anyway, I'm getting a bit political but sadly this section is a bad victim of this fanatism. To cut it short, it's a damn good game. I find it really childish that people are saying this is the 'worst game ever' while drooling over another low-budget AAA-marketed empty games like assassins creed etc. Fallout 76 deserved the criticism as it was just planned to rip off players. Heck, this game doesn't even have DRM. On the paper, you can torrent it legally (but don't, it's basically exploiting a loophole that means 'on the paper' you're stealing it)    … Expand

    Major Problem.

    Early in the game, by accident, I sold my gun and knife and I have nothing but my barehands in shootouts. I found a gun, but when I got to the next floor, it was gone, so I was trying to get out of the place amidst a shoot out. DAX is with me but doesn’t kill anyone so I’m stuck. Don’t want to start the game all over again. Graphics and frame rate great on pc.

Basically I've been a gamer since the mid 1970's and have played nearly everything over the last 40+ years on one platform or another, but Cyberpunk is almost exclusively made for PC to it's full potential, not even the PS5 or Xbox Series X gets close to the level of detail or immersion this game can do on a PC.

    Now firstly comparisons, the game is a blend of the original Deus Ex game from 20 years ago, mixed with Fallout 3/4, and maybe a bit of GTA5. It literally has the best of each of those games, backed by a fantastic developer that doesnt belive in crippling the experience with DRM, and that supports their games usually with 5 years of free content and patches.

    Now it is true that the game is riddled with bugs, but I've logged about 30 hours now and it's been very minimal, I can point out maybe 5 times I spotted something (NPC standing in the T position seen twice, NPC clipping through others again about two noticable times, seen a bin fly 10 ft off the ground up due to scenery clipping, and occasional flickering in photo mode, and thats it.... nothing game breaking or beyond what I would expect from a game of this time at launch). I'd imagine a lot of the early reports here were due to playing before the official 1.04 update and unlucky hardware/driver combinations, cos for me it's close to flawless.

    CDPR made the correct descison to go full first person, it made the world look amazing and personal, and not just another 3rd person game made for console audiences. It pays of hugely even just wandering around and seeing the sights as it is breath-taking at times, especially at night when Ray tracing really shows off the quality. It has definately been worth the weight. I've seen the console versions benchmarks on youtube and frankly they shouldnt have ported it to the last gen consoles as they simply cant do it justice, so I would avoid the console versions entirely.

    For me this is game of the decade, not Red Dead 2, not Last of Us, not Ghost of Tashima etc. The Witcher 3 which they made previously held the title for me, and has now finally been pushed off the top spot.    … 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.
