Regarding bugs and lacking AI, they could be a deal-breaker for some at current state. With future patches I expect most serious bugs ironed out but I have no hopes for vastly better AI.
    You can hold on buying it later when it gets patches and some DLC.

I've played a lot of cruddy games before and while Cyberpunk has some minor graphical glitches on PC, the whole world is so vast and detailed that the occasional hiccup isn't even that bothersome. Night City is a completely fleshed out real, breathing city with so many unique characters and unpredictable at times, you might turn a corner and find a gang holding up an innocent victim down a dark alley way. Not only that it's feels so real, the story is somewhat complex and you can make decisions along the way that have clear consequences.

    There are a few things that stand out to me that need improving though. The inventory system is a bit wonky and slow. It takes too long to move items and comparing weapons and gear is somewhat dated feeling. I should be able to just hold an item and compare it along the rest of my items side-by-side instead of having to equip it first. But it's pretty minor and I've gotten used to it.

    The voice acting is good at best, but at times seems forcible and amateurish. It's easy to ignore though because the world is so huge and there are so many different voice conversations sprinkled everywhere, I couldn't imagine how difficult that would be in-and-of-itself.

    All and all, though, I'm already 25 hours in and barely even scratched the main story and can't wait for more adventures and see what's around that next corner.

    the world IS full and FULL of secretes.
    people are complaining about a game that has no competition on the market, its one of a kind.

    Despite being a mess in some ways bug wise I've still enjoyed my 80 hours of cyberpunk so far. This is on Xbox Series X which is probably the best place to currently play on console, but still needs a lot of polish.

    This is the most unoptimized game I have ever played. Unless you have a $3k or more PC you can’t run the game the way it is intended. On top of that, the bugs make it barely playable. I can’t believe they released it in the state it is in.

Imagine a world where megacorporations dictate your lifestyle. The super rich become richer and the poor remain poorer. Now add human indecency, degeneracy, amazing technologies and the need for more more more...sound familiar? Welcome to Cyberpunk. I've been playing the tabletop since I was a kid, 11 years old to be exact. I found the box that said Cyberpunk 2020. In that box was a giant book filled with all kinds of stories and games and then there were the cards with all kinds of characters and functions. I was hooked after I figured it out. Fast forward to 2020 and I'm floored at what CDPR has given us. A sprawling dystopia of danger, appeal and mystery. They nailed the aesthetic. I sometimes find myself just walking around, scanning people who might want to start an altercation with me and choose to engage or not, it's up to you. The main story so far is great. Performance of the game is a little underwhelming but so was Witcher 3 at first. Patches will help, this is not unheard of. People are mad I think because they were expecting a life simulator. I see many people talking about "Where's my Cyberpunk girlfriend?" "Why can't I decorate my apartment?" "Why can't I modify my car?" While features like modifying a car would be nice, it's not really needed. Would I like to change the color of my Quadra Turbo-R 740 or add a nice flavor of stickers to my MIZUTANI SHION "COYOTE"? Yes, absolutely! And CDPR if you're reading this...add this option in a future update. Also, I would really enjoy being able to customize my punk when I feel like it. As it stands, you can only edit your V at the very beginning of the game; a very questionable choice of features that are not present in the game as of now. The game does have bugs but none that are game breaking, at least in my experience of 34.2 hours (so far). Yes I'll see a floating weapon or an NPC that you call on your phone will magically appear in front of you...very strange, but pretty funny bug.

    I purposely stayed away from this game during its development. I didn't read anything about it, I avoided all spoilers that weren't spoiled by CDPR (WTF why would you spoil such a thing as Jackie dying???) The only media that I watched was their original presentation back in 2018 so I had no expectations, false memories or cognitive dissonance while playing the game. It's everything I've wanted for a very long time and then some. I'm hoping they make sequels but until then I'd settle for some performance patches with bug fixes, free DLC and like the Witcher 3 Blood and Wine, a nice expansion would be very welcomed some time in the future. Thank you CDPR for creating this, sorry there are so many entitled brats who come to metacritic to vent instead of playing the game or turning some setting down or off expecting the game to run at 4k 120fps with ancient hardware.

    I am ~20 or so hours in to this game on PC. Loving it so far - reminds me a bit of the original Deus Ex (which was awesome). Only bugs really frustrating me are the ones that don't allow you to complete missions. Nice to see a game created specifically for PC instead of crapsoles for a change. The bugs will be fixed, great DLC delivered. People just need to pull their heads in and be patient.

    Having a good time so far, story is clearly deep and gunplay is great. Only problem is the damn bugs. Some are hillarious, but most are very annoying. Best to avoid playing the game, until half are fixed.

    Painfully average in every aspect. Now i get the whole marketing frenzy. Since the game feels severely dated and offers nothing much new, they had to make due by LYING.

    The world is open, but empty. NPCs keep asking if they know the PC, and that's it. That's the interaction. You can also pet animals. Wow. You can participate in shootouts throughout the city, to no overall effect

    You can participate in shootouts throughout the city, to no overall effect except that you can loot the dead.

    Weapons are mostly interesting in design, but the gunplay is a bit boring. it is a Looter-Shooter, but maybe shouldn't have been. I think a better effect would've been made, just keeping the game a standard FPS with tiny RPG elements, like Deus Ex or System Shock. Also, the driving mode feels unbalanced, in need of a fix.

    I'm not gonna knock the graphics, it's all good. But it's not core for good gameplay, so when the gameplay is dull and repetitive, the cool, edgy graphics feel wasted. Same goes with audio. Not a huge fan of the whole "futuristic beats" either. Too grating, distractingly aggressive, all the time.

    CD ProjektRed literally TORTURED their employees with constant crunch, for FIVE YEARS, just to get THIS result? That is a literal effin shame. What a waste of an obviously competent workforce.

    Mediocre.

EXAMPLE: My brother had a mission where he chose different dialogue and ended up fighting a guy. I ended up getting information which took my story in a different direction. He had to go a different route to get the information needed. YES, the overall story is essentially the same, but it does change HOW you play the game and how you interact with NPCs. DO NOT believe those people saying that your choices don't matter. I mean, how do you know your choices don't matter unless you are restarting every conversation. Lucky for me I am comparing with someone else so I KNOW they matter.

    Keanu Reeves is awesome.

    There is tons to do besides the main story. Some of it is fluff, some of it actually has interesting plot.

    Combat is fun and can be challenging-- I suggest you do a fair amount of side quests to level up and become a real BA. This also prolongs the main story.

    I feel that the environment that they created was done really well, though buggy.---Especially the sound design. Going into bars have great ambiance and when you enter a battle the music is pretty hype. I feel they did a nice job of making the different parts of the map feel unique to represent the cultural diversity

    I think this game has the potential to be a 10/10 or at least 9/10 if CD Projekt Red continues to release patches to fix bugs. The game is RIDDLED with far too many bugs that range from cosmetic to making it un-enjoyable to play in rare moments. Sometimes NPCs will randomly appear and disappear or lean against something that isn't there. When looking in the mirror my character appears bald when wearing head armor. If you are with someone during a mission and you get farther ahead of them and a door closes triggering the next sequence, in some situations they cannot catch up basically keeping the mission from continuing since you can no longer talk to them. I've had the experience of getting stuck on a wall during a fight and the experience where an enemy won't lose health. The nice thing about these bugs is I have never had a bug that an autosave was too far back that I felt upset about the bug. I save quite often, usually when I'm being stealthy or going to be doing something risky. The game autosaves on it's own quite often, more so than many other games I have played. I feel bad for CD Projekt Red--If they had a choice I feel like they would've delayed it, but they were already scrutinized by fans quite a bit--and now fans are tearing them a part for delivering them an unfinished game. THIS is why Bethesda is taking so long on ES6 and why the next Mass Effect will be far off after people scrutinized how unpolished Andromeda was. CD Projekt Red is not a HUGE team and I think they bit off more than they can chew for the allotted time they were expected by fans to produce a game of this magnitude. They WILL make it right eventually and I look forward to playing future DLC.

Luckily I have a decent enough computer to run the game on the highest settings with ray-tracing enabled. I haven’t encountered too many bugs and glitches, and the game has only crashed twice. I know that is not the same for everyone, especially PS4 and Xbox One players – and some on lower-end PC rigs.

    PROS:

    - presentation of Night City is phenomenal - best presentation of a city in a videogame ever.

    - Solid combat and RPG mechanics; gunplay a particular highlight.

    - Really good story, missions and side quests with high quality voice acting and animations

    - solid driving mechanics with a lot of vehicle choice.

    CONS/THINGS TO IMPROVE

    - lacklustre, basic and unreactive pedestrian and police AI

    - more opportunities for immersion and to interact with the game world (i.e., random encounters as in GTA V and RDR 2) and RPG customisation (getting a haircut)

    - Considering the amount of emphasis on player customisation (creating character, changing clothes, etc), more opportunities to see character in 3rd person perspective would be welcome.

    - More character customisation options with regards to body types.

    I want to stress that I am enjoying the game and am having fun getting immersed in the atmosphere of Night City while playing the main story and side missions. I can’t comment on whether choices and consequences matter in the game, because I am only at ACT 2 of the story. But I do hope, like the Witcher 3, players are presented with some opportunities to shape the narrative and effect the game world.

    Let's get something out of the way: Cyberpunk is a good and entertaining game. It is also a rushed game with very bad marketing decision surrounding it, though. So it is hard to rate it when you have to do it with broken expectations. I will try.
    Its strongest point is the story telling, both on the main arc and the side quests. The characters are good written and feel truly alive thanks
    Let's get something out of the way: Cyberpunk is a good and entertaining game. It is also a rushed game with very bad marketing decision surrounding it, though. So it is hard to rate it when you have to do it with broken expectations. I will try.
    Its strongest point is the story telling, both on the main arc and the side quests. The characters are good written and feel truly alive thanks to a great facial animation and superb dubbers (at least in spanish). Some moments were quite emotional and tbh this aspect of the game alone would make for an enjoyable experience. So if you are here for the story, it will deliver.
    Regarding gameplay, it's quite of a mix. You have a good array of posibilities aproaching combat, but none innovative except for the hability to hack people and gadgets around you, that felt fresh and allowed me to be quite creative. But on the other hand AI is really bad. Hostile NPCs are always predictable, civilians are decorative, police pops in and out of existence and won't even chase you in their car, not to mention there's no fee system or talking or anything, they just teleport around you and start shooting like crazy. Some things that I tried to do but was sad to find I couldn't, were steal cars or shops by pointing my gun at the owners, grab hostile npcs to interrogate them, dressing like a faction to sneak inside their base, join a gang... I know not many games allow for these kind of things, but it felt weird that this one didn't.
    Another big problem is the open world. It is massive but very superficial. Most of what you see is decorative or the scenario for a fetch quest. In fact it is so decorative that once you get the double jump you can easily put yourself out of the map (and you will have to reload your game). People do not really react to your reputation and really nothing is worth exploring. Most cool quests will be given to you anyway, anything you can find by yourself is basicly repetitive crap not worth doing. Even as a landscape, this city is ugly.
    Regarding the technical aspect. It was fine with a 1060ti, 45 stable frames. Crashed twice in... 72hours. There are some bugs though. Flying objects, a crazy visual recognition of items that makes impossible to pick up just the loot you want from the floor, quests getting stuck (it could always be solved by reloading in my case), people not talking when they should, subtitles staying in my screen for half an hour... These kind of stuff. I mean, nothing game breaking but sometimes it annoyed me.
    So, the story was quite the experience and I will remember it and maybe replay with another background (i chose street kid), but besides that, it was your regular shooting game in a not so good open world.

That said, its still an excellent game thats worth your time. It just isnt the masterpiece it was promised to be.

    I give the story itself, the main quest line story, an 8. Of course, it can only be an 8 if you do the right side quests which fills out Johnny's character and V's relationship to him. If you just do the main quest line, the story is at most a 6.
    The open world aspects get a 0. They aren't there. You can't really customize anything. Most of the shops are unfinished, and half of the shops

    The game physics are ... passable. Car physics are a bit bad. Driving is atrocious. There's supposedly interesting bullet physics in the game, but there is literally 0 reason to use them. 4/10 - because the driving is that damned bad.
    RPG elements. Even worse than the open world. They just aren't there. 0/10. I wish I had more to say, but they just aren't there.
    The reputation system, wanted system, etc is an absolute joke. Cops spawn from thin air in front of you and even if you have the maximum level of wantedness, it will completely fall away if you simply walk a block. 0/10
    The character customization tool is nice, but very much under utilized. You can only do any character customizing during creation - you can't change your hair, get tattoos, etc during the game. There are three penis sizes to choose from, but only 1 vagina variation. And it doesn't matter as I played through the game twice and never once saw my own junk. Not once. If you are wearing a hat and look in a mirror (which, btw, is not a reflective surface in the game world that you walk past, it's one of a handful of things you must interact with), you are bald. Inexplicable you are bald and NOT wearing your hat. In the mirror. 0/10
    Personally, I do not think this is a big of a ripoff as No Man's Sky was. However, No Man's Sky was from a dev with a lot less experience. There is no excuse at all for CDPR, who did this after the NMS debacle. And lied through their teeth the entire time.

    Genuinely, people should be in jail because of this. Fraud is a crime.

    In overall can say, that this game is stable 6/10, but poor performance when game do not have graphics better, than Korean MMO and a lot of CDPR lies... force me to cut 3 points, so 3/10, wait for patches and performance fixes, game is interesting, not a good game, but not a bad one, story is also OK, but nothing special, you may have fun, if you will be OK to play an outdated graphics game with poor performance...

    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

    Originally I planned to leave a review AFTER I played more of the game, but these review bombers have forced my hand. The story is rich and the abilities are well thought out. It is a masterpiece worth the price tag.

    I am on the PC with i5-6600K with a GTX1070. I run the game on 1920x1080 off a SSD. I am able to run the game on Ultra in 95% of the case, I get the occasional stutter when I am either driving or in a very graphics demanding area.

    It is apparent that they were very ambitious and delved into many many features/ideas but did not fully polish them all, but I would argue they were mostly done to a satisfactory standard.

    So many people complain about bugs such as T poses and unlootable items. Sure they exist, but it doesn't break the game, a little annoying sure. That's why I gave it a 9/10 instead of 10/10. If these small bugs are enough to take away everything else from you, then I can only say that you are deluding yourself if you expect a 100% bug free game.

    As for the people experiencing performance issues. If you are on a console, you should already understand your hardware is substandard to the current generation of PCs. If I was in your position, I would not be expecting much out of any prev-gen consoles (or even an old pre-made PC). This is not about the PC master race, it's just a matter of fact that you play a console, a mass marketed device that is focused on raking profits for the companies instead of being built to last. It is simply unreasonable to expect CDPR to cater for you in this case. If you are using a current gen console, my condolences to you, but you just need to be patient.

    For those on PC experiencing performance issues on your mega expensive PCs, the root of the problem is likely yourself.

    I decided to clean up the map of all these quests and then focus on the main story, and poof, the main story was over before it got started. I later saw that this was by design because their analytics showed not enough people finished Witcher 3 to their liking. What kind of stupid logic is that?

    I didn't follow this game pre-release, so I didn't feel the absence of promised features; I just got a boring open-world with a good main story which feels about the length of a Call of Duty game. Terribly disappointing.

    Absolute trash based solely on comparing it to the deceptive marketing used by CDPR and Warner. Past the bugs, lazy AI, potato style driving physics and railroad style."open world", it plays like a glorified GTA5 cyberpunk mod but without any of GTA Vs core game quality.

    This game deserves to be the poster child of pre order scams.

    - Too much loot everywhere, in places that don't make sense
    - Loot laying around that you can't pick up
    - Hard to see what loot you are actually picking up
    - Playing on hard there is a ridiculous amount of health packs just laying everywhere although they are not very useful
    - Side quests are just flying at your head left and right without much choice on your part
    - You also can't choose what cars to buy and when, you just are obliged to buy them through quests that randomly appear and you have to start with the crappiest one, each time moving up to a little less crappy. It takes the fun out of car shopping.
    - Playing on an azerty keyboard sucks because your movement keys will probably overlap with unremappable keys
    - Some keys don't work right. E.g. I set LCtrl to toggle crouch but it remains Hold To Crouch even though the menu shows differently.
    - Sometimes random menus like your messages or character sheet pop open and I have no idea what key I pressed to open them.
    - I haven't found much to do besides main quest, side quests and some collectables.
    - Weapon and armor mods seem to be pointless because you can't recover them and you are getting better guns and armor for free constantly so you'll probably change everything every 10 minutes. This may improve late game where you might be able to keep your gear for longer than a few minutes.

    I still like the game though. It looks amazing, the action is smooth, the shooting precise, there's a lot of ways to develop and upgrade your character, the story is enough to keep you playing, the game runs great for me, it has a good soundtrack and an interesting Deus Ex-y atmosphere...

    As it is today I'd give it a 7,5 but I'm sure with a few patches it will score well above 8. With some extra content and variety perhaps 9. And if people start modding this it might become brilliant. You can tell that despite all the delays CD Projekt Red still rushed it. There is much potential here. I hope that either the developers or the mod community make it what it can be. It happened for No Man's Sky, among others...

    I chose to give a ten because a lot of people are giving ratings that are unfairly low and I want to counter that. It's not a revolutionary game but it's at least good and in some areas already great.

    Almost none of the choices you make during the story matter at all. All the endings are basically the same. Nothing you do changes that. Everything the game tells you "matters" actually has absolutely no effect. Its kind of crazy really. [Link omitted per site rules]

    The only mission in the game where your choices affect results is the one they showed in the demo in 2018. Thats the only one. Absolutely unexcuseable for a game that has narrative as its only strong point.

    My recommendation: Go watch a good movie instead.

    Yes, it is buggy. And yes, it is not optimized (looks especially bad on PS4). But this is only due to bad management at CDPR.

    But the game itself is awesome. Enormous effort into each character, story and art.
    Night City looks amazing and story, including side quests is so charming. Can't stop playing.

There were glitches in every aspect of the game; audio, graphical, inventory, mission based, AI, load-in of textures, control response... Then, just like that, CDPR released Hot Fix 1.04 and the game started working! I’m playing it on a 2015 PlayStation 4 (NOT a pro). At launch, like everyone else, I was disappointed and hugely bummed out. Thankfully, a day and a half later and I hit Night City running. I’ve been led astray by most of the side missions and have only just started to delve into the main story. My distraction-following was twenty hours all by itself and there’s still a ton more to do.

    The city is wonderfully constructed, offering the densest open world I’ve ever seen. Nothing looks the same and every alley and every building has something hidden away. I FEEL a part of this metropolis, which breathes and swells at different times of day. Visually, I just stop and stare at the world and I rarely use fast travel.

    As optimization gets better and more patches are released, I have no doubt that this game will become exactly what we all wanted. Throwing a ton of nods to science fictions best media, you’ll find yourself in a massive open world, exploring hundreds of story options and ways to tackle the hundreds of missions available. It’s an open world Deus Ex on a grand scale. Something I’d like to see fixed first; the menus.

    Add a freaking preview to clothes, please. And make switching items out faster. Make it easier to group tag items for selling. It’s so inefficient it’s ridiculous.

    Other than that, I’m enjoying the experience immensely. But then, I’m not the toxic entitlement plaguing the gaming industry with expectation over anticipation. Keep it up CDPR. By the time I get my free copy of the PS5 version, I can’t imagine how incredible this game will look, and how much fun my second play though will be. - RöR

However, I personally just picked this up on a sale at GOG and have been having a pretty good time with the game on the pc.

However, I personally just picked this up on a sale at GOG and have been having a pretty good time with the game on the pc.

    I'm gonna say thing, if you don't have at least a basic rtx card or radeon equivalent, don't bother. The game looks terrible without ray tracing. I turned it off to up my FPS and just couldn't take it. My eyes were not taking it well at all. I ended up turning ray tracing on and put a bunch of other settings to medium and low to get into the 60 fps range on my gaming laptop, 2070 RTX maxQ with 32 GB Ram. This game is a hoss now, so I can only imagine how it was launch, lol.

    That aside, this game does some things extremely well. Great immersion factor and the environments are constructed with an immense attention to detail. There is plenty to do, from the lowliest side missions that pop up randomly to the full blown main missions and main side missions. The map is littered with icons ala Ubisoft games. It's both a blessing and a curse but is typical of open world games.

    Anyway, the games systems are a bit convoluted and it honestly you can just upgrade your melee fighting skills and annahilate any group of foes with a katana, but it's fun to play around with other methods. If someone asked me to describe this game in one sentence I would just say it's Deus EX Mankind Divided but on a much bigger scale. If you liked that game, you should pick up cyberpunk.

    Not perfect, but finally playable and worth a look. You can tell that the actual developers and not the corpo heads in charge of CDPR cared a lot for this project. There is a lot to love here, but ultimately does not reach the ridiculous mountain of hype this game got.

    I'm having fun playing it though and I'm about half way through the main story. Thumbs up.

    Played as: Female V, Nomad, Body / Assault build, Judy romance, did a lot of side missions, all of those which were not bugged. I've played on normal difficulty. Most of the side missions and the main story finished in about 42 hours.

    STORY & SIDE QUESTS: The main story is fine, but on the level of other AAA games, nothing above it like Mass Effect was for me. I don't need to save the world in-game, but I've missed some depth and atmosphere during the play. A good amount of dialogues were just ok. The decision selection was low, but maybe with another playthrough, I'll change my mind. But it felt railroaded a lot. Rather pushing you to the storyteller's story than your own. At some moments I was asking, why I haven't been given an option that felt more appropriate. There were very good parts and very blend parts too. The main story did not get into my skin so I would proclaim it as breathtaking. It was good, and still worth buying and go through tho.
    There is one cinematics where you will see your character. One, which is a pity, and somehow I have a feeling that there was planned for more, as one of the bugs was actually showing your face during conversation and the model was moving lips..but somehow they probably decided to retract from that idea....The photo mode is saving the day here, but is it enough? I don't need to play through all being cinematics, but it somehow adds up to the atmosphere feelings for me. Romance options, I've expected more.
    What bothered me a lot was the overwhelming push for all the jobs, phonecalls overlapping, rush, push...it didn't felt comfortable. I would prefer to experience a more chilled way to receive quests, rather than feeling like a target of Fixers Telecompany.

    CHARACTER CREATION: Biggest disappointment for me is Character Creation. It's detailed but to an extent. As for body types, it failed my expectations. Having a badass woman beating a huge bodybuilder with her fists, while looking like a skinny top model did not add to my immersion. Mixing voices and adding penises to females feel odd rather than exciting, especially due to lack of customization.

    THE OPEN WORLD, LOOT & CRAFTING: 1st person is good. The night city looks great visually, but somehow you can't interact too much with it. Sure there are shops, various NPCs which...just walk and don't want to talk to you. It feels just fake sadly. Do we really need open worlds in RPGs? I rather have an engaging, in-depth and epic story to play than playing GTA5 in the future. It feels like GTA5, better in some aspects, worse in others. Tons of loot. I was somehow hoping that there will be more meaningful and less loot, you will spend a lot of time with loot management and it kept me distracted from playing and enjoying the story. It also felt odd that you can loot basically everything in front of everyone without consequences. Crafting...mhm...didn't use much, because with so much loot there was not much point. All is expensive a lot, didn't have a chance to buy all while completing a lot of side missions. The economy isn't as bad as in GTA5, but not the greatest. The apartment is useless as well as other loot. GTA5 beats Cyberpunk in here.

    COMBAT & PROGRESSION: Combat is ok and fun, similar to Ghost Recon. It was fun, AI is dumb. The skill tree and the progression is good and gives you a chance to make a unique playstyle, although more points wouldn't be bad.

    MUSIC: Music and sound is great.

    BUGS: I am sure you've heard and read a lot about them...only a few times it broke my immersion, a few times gave me a good laugh. But PC is tolerable I guess? Folks with PS4 must be raging madly from what I've seen. For PC it is on verge of release, for Consoles, it should never been rushed like this. Especially with the motto: "It releases when it's ready."

    FINAL WORDS: *shrugs* I would still recommend this game on PC. It's better than most of the crap released last year.
    Somehow I am mad, that all the effort, all the years...for this? It is subjective...it is still a good game, just with that overhype...I've expected more, sorry CD Projekt.
    As expectations were much higher. Sadly CD Projekt damaged its own reputation with poor management decisions and every future game from this company should be not pre-ordered.

    The elephant in the room… the rush job that is cyberpunk 2077, its clear this game should’ve been delayed to this year 2021, theres still at least one more giant patch coming next month, but even with the latest massive patch, cyberpunk 2077 is still littered with bugs on the ps5, 7 crashes throughout my playthrough, I really don’t need to explain why game crashes are unacceptable, but theyre especially unnacceptab;e in a game with such an awful checkpoint and saving system, the game refuses to save afer you’ve enetered combat until the mission is basically over, so dying halfway through a gun battle, pulls you all the way back, a lot of the times pre mission start, not even before you engaged in combat, forcing constant manual saves, just because you know how awful the saving is and if you die again you don’t want to reskip through the minutes of dialog you already heard, and worse is you lose any cool weapons you pick up, which obviously sucks in a division like game where random loot is being dropped by enemies… but I also ran into a glitch where my health would be displayed, where a call wouldn’t come through that lead to a dead end stopping me from continuing the final mission and reloading an older save and redoing basically just 10 minutes of unskippable dialog, bugs where subtitles would be stuck on my screen long after the conversation was over, and the thing is… I had subtitles turned off… also the controls for the brain dance were stuck on my screen from an unknown mission all the way until I rolled credits, it wouldn’t go away even after game crashes and fresh loads into the game…
    Cyberpunk 2077 is a mess, but a mess that once is cleaned up, is a really great game filled with over 100 hours of story, though this really is a game for those more into story and not those looking for a futuristic GTA, the world itself isn’t much fun to explore, you cant keep the cars you steal and the weapons are pretty basic. But the world is cool to exist in, even if youre not into all of the hacking and its only 20 hours like me.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is **not** an rpg. I might get called "sweaty" for this, but I'm playing through cyberpunk 2077 and it doesn't feel much like an rpg to me. It feels like it has rpg elements, but it seems to differ greatly from its tabletop namesake. Granted I'm only in the first act. Act 1 Spoilers ahead: I don't understand why there aren't any major choices that switch things up, so far. I've played through Act 1 a number of times, a number of different ways, but the results are always the same. I understand there's a bit of a linear plot they're leading up to by having Keanu Reeves nest in my brain matter. I get that. I know it is key that Keanu haunts my brain and tries to take over my psyche. But they can still give players fun choices within that narrow-as-hell railroad track and watch different scenes unfold that still lead to the same turning point. Dexter DeShawn is my example here. I've played a few different ways with Dex. I've been nice and loyal to him. I've lied to him. I've been apathetic toward him. I've outright yelled at him. Nothing changes. He still reacts to me the same. He still shoots me in the head. He still leads that Arasaka guy to my body in the landfill and gets himself shot. Why? This could have played out in so many ways. When I go to Dex's place after Jackie dies, I should, say, have the option to just kill Dex. Right? Say, we get in a fight, I shoot him, then I go into the bathroom, wash my face/punch the mirror/whatever, and as I exit, Dex's goon knocks me out (as he does anyway). Then say the goon (not Dex) shoots me and dumps me in the landfill, only to be led back there by the Arasaka guy and shot on the spot. It's the same story, but I was given more agency. So far, Cyberpunk makes me feel like I am strapped into a rollercoaster car on a one way track, rather than getting behind the wheel of a fun off-roader. I really don't understand how this game is a full fledged rpg. Or how it can railroad a player so hard through a 45 minute cut scene from the moment I'm shot in the head to the moment I wake up in Viktor's ripperdoc parlor. I do enjoy the game, but it doesn't hit me like an rpg quite does. I miss the video games where choices caused different outcomes and the player feels like they have some agency in the world. Expand

    The policing system is broken, cops spawn right behind you no matter where you are and no matter how large or small the offence.
    Loot needs an overhaul, every shotgun feels the same, every revolver, pistol, etc. Legendary and epic weapons don't feel stronger or better than their counterparts, and you'll replace them in 2-10 minutes for a better one. Armor wise it's no different, you cycle through gear as if the whole game is a fitting room, and nothing ends up matching as a result. There's no option to hide your headpiece so you either take a hit to your armor score, or look like an idiot wearing a biker/samurai helmet everywhere you go.
    Perks can be redestributed in exchange for an exuberant amount of money, stats cannot.

    All that being said, I can't put the game down. I love it. It's story, graphics, gunplay, exploration and voice acting outshine the flaws in a major way, and I love every minute of it that I'm playing. It's not the kind of "it's terrible but I can't put it down" like Destiny or WoW is, but rather an insanely good game with some glaring issues.

    _IF_ you have a rig that can handle the game properly (think 4-8 core processor and at least a 2060 rtx card), I can still reccomend it in it's current state. If you don't meet those requirements, or want to play it on Xbone or PS4, I suggest waiting for performance patches.

    It's basically the Witcher in a cyberpunk universe, in first person view, with some Fallout elements. The story, graphics, music, dialogues etc... are all great. Main drawback is the bad AI.

I never stop getting a kick out of people saying that nobody should like a game because they “think it is trash”. I prefer to come to my own conclusions based on personal experience with games. I will say that I do have a high end rig, which I am sure has an effect on my gameplay experience. Just don’t skip this game if you think it is up your alley. Expand

    - The main plot is interesting - drama, action, betrayal, intrigue, etc., everything is like in Indian films (in a good way).
    - I liked the shooter part of the game, shooting a weapon feels like shooting from cyberpunk cannons, even if it's a pistol.
    - The game looks like a board game with probabilities, for example, in order to kill with headshots, you need to pump a special skill to increase the probability of a kill with a headshot.
    - Driving and cars - something a little better than in GTA 5, in my opinion.
    - Training at the beginning of the game is full of guano, I have not met such a dull one for a long time.

    The game was a success, most likely to please even those who are not fans of the cyberpunk setting.

The gameplay features fairly common fps mechanics that become more fun, varied and engaging as you start unlocking perks and installing new cyberwear. I would say that the worst thing about the game is the AI, which sometimes may seem sluggish or downright stupid. However the amazing narrative that has been carefully woven maintains a sky high quality throughout the game and different type of quests, creating an amazing world in which you will feel inmersed (the outstanding soundtrack also helps with this). If someone asked me If he/she should play Cyberpunk 2077 I would certainly encourage him to. However seeing how the game has launched perhaps it would be wise to wait a few months so that the game is more polished. Personally I played in a laptop with a GTX 1660Ti and a Ryzen 4800H in high preset and I didn't run into any mayor issues (mantaining around 60fps). Regarding bugs my experience has also been relatively good. I found only some visual bugs, minor niusances like objects that get stuck in the air in conversations from time to time, nothing gamebreaking. Expand

    tl;dr: This is truly a 10/10 RPG experience, outside of the technical issues. If you've always dreamed of "a cyberpunk-themed Skyrim or Fallout", this is it, folks. Playing on last-gen consoles is highly unadvisable, as the performance on PS4/XB1 (even the "Pro" versions) appears to be completely unplayable at the moment, so in that case, wait for further optimization from CDPR (maybe a few months to a year), and hopefully there will be a playable version of the game on those platforms at that point. Current gen consoles (PS5/XBS) appear to fare much better, and I'd say those are the "minimal specs" for this game in its current state. PC is obviously the best way to go (more details on my setup below). Even though this is technically the "PC review" of the game, given how egregiously bad the performance is on last-gen platforms, I give the game an 8.5/10 (which I'll be rounding to 9 here), with a pending 10/10 if all technical issues are fixed in the near future (which if CDPR's reputation has taught us anything, is very much likely to be the case).

    --Technical Performance Rating 7/10--
    I'm playing the game on PC on a 1080ti. At 23 hours, I've just begun "Act 2", and in this time I've run into many visual bugs (e.g. floating objects, object pop-in, T-pose NPCs etc.), none of which really impacted my gameplay experience too much. I've run into 1 quest-tracking bug that failed to progress the quest status, and this was solved simply by reloading my most recent autosave, and cost me probably only 1-2 minutes of playtime, as well as a random "insta-death" bug after landing on a rooftop just right, again forcing a reload (probably a collision bug)

    I am able to run the game at either 1440p with fps wobbling between 50-60fps, or 3440x1440 ultrawide resolution with fps wobbling between 45-55fps, and in both cases I'm able to turn several of the graphical settings to "Medium" or "High" (Digital Foundry has published a great tutorial on what settings to use or scrap given the performance vs. quality tradeoff, on different levels of PC specs, so be sure to check that out). I've elected to play the game with the latter settings, as the ultrawide resolution really makes the game pop. But standard 16:9 is amazing nonetheless too, even with a wobbly framerate.

    --Game Design/Quality Rating 10/10--
    If we pretend that CP2077 has no bugs, and runs perfectly on all platforms, it's EASILY a 10/10 for me. This is perhaps one of the most immersive cityscapes I think has ever been put into video game form. The streets of Night City truly feel "alive". The NPC banter, chatter of the crowd, hum of car engines, random music blaring out of storefronts as you walk past, really make you feel like you're walking through a cyberpunk metropolis, and as your character accumulates more "Street Cred" (an actual statistic that you gain levels in), you really feel like a badass that "owns" this playground of a town. I've spent hours exploring the city on foot just to see what I find, but if that's not your cup of tea, zipping through and checking quests off your list is just as fun.

    Not only is the map huge, but it's packed with things to do and see. Open world games often suffer from the "miles of nothing" problem, from Skyrim, to RDR2, to Breath of the Wild, as amazing as those titles are, it's hard to ignore walking/running/galloping across wide expanses of emptiness - Night City is packed to the brim with actual, interactable content, even if it's just a few gang members to kill here and there, or a food vendor to check out, or a joytoy to...talk to.

    The storytelling, thus far, has been truly amazing. CP2077 crafts an underground universe of mercenaries, contractors/Fixers, and shady corporations, all of which you must expertly navigate to...solve your problem (won't go into detail, but it's a very interesting problem). Akin to other open world RPGs, there are plenty of side quests that offer engrossing storylines of their own, as well as "gigs" and smaller quests discoverable throughout the world that are a spin on the good old "go here and kill a bunch of bad guys" (which you can skip if that sounds dry at this point). The game is also loaded with lore books called "shards" that you can peruse at your own discretion (I've read every single one I've found so far, and it does add quite a bit).

    --Conclusion: 8.5/10--
    Overall, this game is for fans of a) RPGs, b) open worlds, c) immersive storytelling and world-building, and d) the cyberpunk theme. If you fall into all 4 categories, this is a must-play for you (assuming you can run the thing). It really raises the bar for what open-world RPGs should be for next gen, and if you're the type of gamer that can sit back, tune everything out, and let a fictional world suck you in, Night City will be a great place to visit

    Wow, so many whiners here - it's just hard to believe. I've just completed the game (64h) and all I can say is this was an amazing experience that was given to us at such a critical moment in our life. People dying from covid, cities under lockdown, countries isolated, dictators not overthrown, political clowns clinging on to their posts, businesses closing - just to name a few. CDPR gave us an opportunity to escape into this wonderful world of Cyberpunk, to forget how **** reality is right now, to let ourselves dissolve into Night City - and all I see is constant whining about bugs and how base console versions of the game are bad. Yes, of course, there are tons of bugs in this game, of course, the base console versions are abysmal (stop ranting about that on the PC metacritic page), but I managed to play it on a mid-end PC and overlook those problems because I could not believe how marvelously crafted this game was. The world just felt too real in Night City. After my first 6 hours, I went outside and thought to myself - now this is a generic-looking city filled with boring NPC's that I live in. Went back into NC right afterward. The people at CDPR, sure they made mistakes, but they'll work their asses off to fix them and eventually provide a full-fledged experience for all gamers PC or console. So quit crying and learn to appreciate things, we might not get anything great as Cyberpunk 2077 in the future based on where life is going. This is an experience that will never be forgotten, thank you CDPR. This game saved 2020.

Spend time to get closer to the characters by doing their side missions. It will change things. I also feel CDPR's version of Night City is as it is described in William Gibson's book Neuromancer (with some game adaptations of course). Good luck on your journey choomba. And good luck to CDPR with fixing everything that is so obviously broken. Expand

    This is a review of 1.06 version

    Graphics - 8/10. A good looking game in general, however the graphics are not consistent everywhere. They often look average or straight up bad, especially during free roam outside of scripted missions. Also, there is a lot of popup and plenty of situations where high quality model of an object doesn't manage to load in time when you approach it.

    Graphics - 8/10. A good looking game in general, however the graphics are not consistent everywhere. They often look average or straight up bad, especially during free roam outside of scripted missions. Also, there is a lot of popup and plenty of situations where high quality model of an object doesn't manage to load in time when you approach it. Animations are pretty stiff outside of scripted cutscenes. Also lots of graphical glitches like t-posing NPCs, clipping, or animations freaking out.

    Story - 7/10, however it's very linear. Your dialogue choices don't matter 99% of the time outside of few times when you get to decide the ending. Characters are decent and Keanu Reeves character turned out pretty badass and convincing. His 3D model looks pretty disappointing though, especially considering he's the most important character and highlight of the game. I would expect better.

    User interface is all over the place. Pretty confusing. The fact that you have plenty of junk to pick up on every step doesn't help. I ended up collecting everything and then selling stuff if I ended up overweight. I picked the best armor and weapon based on one statistic. Didn't bother with modifications etc. Didn't buy anything, just used random stuff that I picked up. And I completed the game easily.

    Gunplay - average

    Vehicle handling - bad. Vehicles handle worse than Watch Dogs. Much worse.

    Physics - bad. They are 2005 tier. Car crashes have no weight to them, like cars are made of rubber and the behavior is often ridiculous, like you crash into a car and you drive under it. And running over pedestrians feels like they are weightless. Also it glitches out, pedestrians and objects often go inside your car and you drag them with you,

    AI - dumb. NPCs have barely any AI. And enemies go straight under your gun. They also get stuck all the time and you can shoot them easily. And there are NO police chases. It's not programmed. Police just appears out of nowhere.

    World - city is decently sized however it looks basically the same everywhere you go. There is very little variety. Pretty boring. I'm not a big fan of the art direction. And very little to do there. Those who say that this is the biggest and most immersive and alive world in video games are straight up LYING. It has literally nothing on games like GTA, Watch Dogs or RDR2. Pedestrian and car density is good enough, however since they have no AI they feel artificial and just there for decoration. Also, pedestrian and car density drops to nearly zero when you drive a vehicle, but it goes back once you're on foot.

    Overall, if you expect a detailed and immersive open world sandbox action game like GTA, Watch Dogs or RDR, you will be very disappointed. And if you expect a detailed RPG where every choice you make matters, you will be disapointed as well. This game does bad in both.

    This game is a big disappointment considering it's budget, years in production and how much hype it generated. CDPR tried to throw down the gauntlet to Rockstar and Ubisoft, but they failed miserably.

    This game definitely doesn't deserve a score higher than 8/10, no matter how you look at it. The whole game feels plasticky, wonky and unpolished/unfinished if I had to describe it shortly. I personally gave it a 6 because I'm not a hyped CDPR fanboy and I see things as what they are. It was not a HORRIBLE experience, but far far away from a masterpiece. All 9 and 10 scores are ridiculous.

    Świetną historia i gameplay. Na tyle dobra ze warto zagrać mimo błędów a bagi są ale bardziej śmieszne i wynikające z imersj niż przeszkadzające

    If you rate after the hype. It's 5/10. If you ignore hype and rate it for what it is its 10/10. It's a great game!! But not the game they hyped.

    Good game, but you need powerful hardware, but gtx1080 is enough for comfortable games on medium-high for 45-60 fps

    It has been awhile since I played an RPG Game that has gotten you immersed in the environment as well as the story. Character attachments will make you feel sympathetic towards those characters.

Although this game does come with its flaws such as minor bugs that can be fixed within patches. These bugs are fixable with a reload of a save point. I have not encountered to many bugs in my experience and For those who have played Skyrim and fallout understand F5 is an important feature and that those games were far from perfect as well but we still loved them with all their flaws. Overall I’d suggest buying the game if you do have a decent gaming rig that can at least hit 50 FPS because 50 is more than playable. Expand

    I was so excited about this game. I waited eagerly with everyone else. I thought this game was going to be spectacular seeing as it was developed by CDPR. I was wrong. This game is buggy, crashes, and looks terrible- and I’m playing on XBSX. It’s clunky, poorly executed, and pales in comparison to every modern open world game.

It’s clunky, poorly executed, and pales in comparison to every modern open world game. The content is completely dependent upon sex and filth. It’s the main theme all throughout the game. In diaries, on ads, magazines, posters, etc. It’s like a group of perverts were handed the keys to creating the vibe of the universe, and put their deepest most sexually explicit desires into every aspect of Night City. It’s over the top and feels forced and unnecessary. The content exists for the sake of being controversial. I returned this game. Biggest disappointment of 2020 in terms of entertainment. Expand

    It is an accomplishment they managed to finish the game under the circumstances, home office, and all.
    And they would have needed a little longer to implement more of the promised features. But what is here is beautiful, fun world, fun gameplay, a lot of interesting missions and side missions, newest graphical features that rival Crisis's throne. Can it Run Cyberpunk?
    The game is fun

    The game is fun and worth playing, it could be even more and I am willing to give them the time to fix and expand it.

    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.
