    Full disclosure: I'm playing this PS4 game on a PS5. Also, I did not follow much of the hype for this game leading to release.

    Full disclosure: I'm playing this PS4 game on a PS5. Also, I did not follow much of the hype for this game leading to release.

    Having said that, I can't recommend this game in its current state. The number of bugs, many of which have crashed the game for me, is simply unacceptable in an allegedly AAA title. The graphics are nothing special (though I understand there is a lot of pop-in and slow texture loading on the base PS4) and the sound requires a lot of tinkering in the settings menu to get to an acceptable level. I found myself cringing for my neighbor's sake when the game would inexplicably blast heavy bass in background music, enough to rattle furniture, despite other sound elements being at a normal level.

    It's not all bad. The story is interesting, and the voice acting is good. The gameplay systems are fun, even though some of the RPG elements appear designed to force the player into crafting their character into a min-max archetype. Certain perks and abilities require that you invest heavily into their associated stat, which could be good or bad. You also contend with both experience points and "street cred" points, which is odd, considering that you typically get both in equal measure.

    Having said that, some of the systems don't seem to have been fully fleshed out. There is a crafting system, but not much to craft. By the time you can afford decent crafting plans and materials, you will be finding gear that is as good or better than you can make. You can earn crafting xp, which grants various bonuses as you level up, but without a good reason to craft, it's just another number to watch increase. Tutorials could have also been better. I was several hours in before I realized that I had items I could slot into my various cyber implants.

    Overall, I would usually say give this one a few months to get the bugs ironed out. However, this game has been in the making for years. That this is what they have to show for all those years of work does not create confidence that the devs will be able to polish this one to an acceptable level. If you must play it, wait a few months. I expect spring '21 will see this one at half price.

    One of the worst games I’ve ever played. Even 6 months after release and a whopping 3 30GB each patches, the game is almost in the same state it was upon release. Small improvement s, but for each of those, they create a NEW issue. They even warn people now from playing it on PS4 & PS4S which they as heck didn’t in the beginning and even in their warning, it’s hidden in a Twitter thread.One of the worst games I’ve ever played.

They lost my trust originally but I figured I’d stick with it and give them a chance. Every update and patch has done very little. GTA San Andreas has better physics (especially water), human reactions, police, AI, and in many gameplay customization ways as well. That’s just sad. I cannot say this strongly enough…DO NOT PAY FULL PRICE FOR THIS GAME. Expand

    The technical performance of Cyberpunk 2077 on Playstation 4 consoles is simply unacceptable. Hard crashes every few hours, soft locks, bizarre graphical and physics glitches, single-digit frames per second when things get hectic, and graphics on par with late PS3 titles. It's an absolutely embarrassing follow-up to The Witcher 3.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was so excited for this game, CDPR promised SO much, but my wife put it best as she watched me play it a few hours, "It's nothing we haven't seen before".

    Every single thing you do in the game is 'go here and shoot this' when they promised a hugely immersive world with tons to do. A world where you could build your rep and such. At first I enjoyed myself doing some side jobs before starting the first big mission to grab the Relic. Well, as soon as I got the Relic all sorts of nonsense started to happen. Glitches and crashes seemed to happen more but I was also suddenly flooded with 20-30 jobs. People you haven't even met yet call and text you out of nowhere offering missions or cars for sale. I literally walked around for 30 mins getting flooded with nonsense! Let's talk about that Delamain quest where you have to retrieve his lost vehicles. Why in god's name is this not ONE quest with 8 objectives? Instead CDPR made it into 9 separate quests!? It's as if nobody at CDPR ever played any other RPG in their life and is a perfect example of all the missed opportunities they had to really make this game work.

    I feel like they spent all their time just getting the thing to run on consoles and no time fixing the multitude of blunders littered throughout this game.

    This game is hilariously broken on PS5****. Just when you think a new, expensive console can prevent this game from constantly hitching or dropping audio, think again.

    Returned, bought a different game. I'll come back to this when it's on sale.

    The game is fun when it works - when it works being the operative term.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Playing this game on PS5 so it’s the “improved” version of the game.

    Error code CE-1082551 which causes the game to crash has happened 7 times I’ve only played for 13 hours The driving is horrendous, texture popping horrible controls with dated crash physics Random items appearing in cutscenes. Including when Jackie is dying and handover the chip the chip was replaced with a giant pistol which took up half scene and just distracted from the moment entirely. The story will be good , the combat is okay nothing game changing but good for an RPG

    This is looking like 8/9 game but there is just far too many issues which I’m seeing and it’s ruined the game. This game was announced for last gen and plays like rubbish on current gen. it’s not good enough.

    The open world is bland and boring. The UI is unintuitive and just one big cluster. Your character model in the inventory screen looks like it was created in 1995. The customization options are horrible. The side missions and 'gigs' are repetitive and mind numbing.

    Cyberpunk 2077 had the potential to be an awesome action RPG but somewhere in development it was lost. It is clear that this game is unfinished. What a AAA flop that rode in on the hype train! What we have here folks is one shiny chocolate dipped turd of a game! I definitely do not recommend Cyberpunk in the current state it is in.

    First off, I will say that this game is one of the most missed opportunities in gaming history. The stroy is actually unique and interesting, however the game is a major glitch fest and ruins what may have been a classic game. I played this on ps5, so I have no issue with reported horrid frame rates.

    + Very nice city design and atmosphere with detailed environments.
    + Interesting story and many varied dialogue options.
    + decent acting.

    - Cluttered and confusing menus.
    - Politics and some woke themes forced in.
    - Horrendous Collison and driving physics
    - Glitches galore! Too many to mention, including game crashing!
    - limited side activities.
    - Some invisible walls during missions.
    - Police chases are very weak.

    I wanted to love this game, but there was just too many reasons to be disappointed. Maybe a complete edition will come out in a few years and fix this mess. Until then I give it a fail mark of 4/10.

    I'm playing the game on ps5 so it's the ps4 pro version really. When the game is working it's great but there's so many BUGS!!! The game has CRASHED on me 5 TIMES ALREADY!!! The frame rate is not bad but I'm on ps5 so I have headroom. CD ProjectRed HAS to get the NEXT-GEN version right! I can't in good conscience give this game even a decent rating because of ALL of it's issues!

    The most important negative thing about this game is that it's obviously a Beta version, if not Alpha, of a AAA game. i personally believe the rumors that the Developers thought 2022 was the soft target date before they announced Q2 of 2020 during E3 2019.

With COVID, this game should have been released in Q4 2023. But AAA games aren't going to be worked on for three more years after released, so I believe this game will never be what it was intended. It would take three years of a studio full time to have brought this game to "RDR2 levels", which CDPR themselves claimed. It's that unfinished when coming from a studio that made W3 and in an age of GTAIV even, should have been the minimum bar for cars, physics, and player customization? So this game is a lost cause. Not by lack of skill or effort from the talent at CDPR, but from upper management forcing this game through. You could blame the death threats that were being doled out every time this game got delayed, but part of that is the amount of times it was delayed. Dying Light 2 comes to mind. It was slated to release Q1 2020, but then just got pushed back indefinitely. Sure, people were upset, but not near as upset when there are three push-backs (April, Sept, Oct, Dec).

    Now, let's talk about playability: The very first time I booted up the game, it failed. I booted it up again, knowing the PS4 was underpowered for this game, and immediately turned down the settings in the main menu. I then couldn't even back out of the settings menu, and restarted the game. I was told the games settings file was corrupted, and have since seen a dozen or so crashes in a dozen or so play hours. Cars flying everywhere, characters getting stuck in walls, music, physics, and a slew of other bugs are rampant. I can have faith those will eventually get patched, and I'll be getting a PS5 later this year and was offered a free digital copy on that console, so not too terribly focused on that right now. I should be, but the state of the core gameplay fully overshadows it. There are some really cool parts of the game as well as details, but this game can't even touch the sandbox worlds of even GTA:SA or RDR1, as well as the RPG and details of the the Witcher 3. I have much respect for CDPR, but thinking upper management will probably turn this studio into the other top AAA studios; they'll eventually cut their losses and move on to their next game long before this game will be anywhere near where it should have been. I could go on and on. I can post a video of heavy glitches and bugs for every five minutes in-game! I could compare the lack luster game aspects to Saints Row 2 and a Mafia game and come out behind even those games, but I'll stop here. Sure, not many other games like this to play right now, so some people might as well buy it and enjoy it. But the new top brass at CDPR has ruined an opportunity to release a game of the decade, and will potentially ruin one of my favorite studios forever. Absolutely soul crushing for me...

All of the bad stuff people are saying is true and it really does take the fun away. There are just too many issues to ignore. Either wait for the PS4 version to be fixed or wait until you get a PS5. As of now this is a massive disappointment. Expand

    I have never written a review before finishing a game, but that's the problem with this game: I CANNOT FINISH IT. I usually overlook bugs and glitches in games but not this one. The bugs are terrible. Nothing is loaded probably, bugs and glitches are everywhere which makes it impossible to play this game.

The bugs are terrible. Nothing is loaded probably, bugs and glitches are everywhere which makes it impossible to play this game.

    I am currently at Act 2 and if I overlook all the glitches then I am still disappointed.

    From a base PS4 perspective.
    - The fps drops massively.
    - The cars feel bad to drive with.
    - The guns feel bad to shoot with.
    - The Dualshock interactions have delayed actions.
    - The tutorials and instructions are massive.
    - The menu is bad is mainly PC-mouse focused. Using the d-pad gives slow navigation. Besides you cannot use the d-pad in certain parts of the menu and the mouse curser is always visible, it will never disappear.
    - The camera is always in first-person which makes mediocre cinematography. Thankfully you can zoom out of the car.
    - The open world is difficult to navigate through because the mini map dominates the experience. I have to look at the mini map when making a turn which makes me do lots of 180 degree turns. The game does no guide me on the road (Arkham Knight or Tsushima) or guides with an advanced compass (God of War).
    - The characters are boring especially V, since I do not know the motivations that drives the character.
    - The loading screens takes forever!
    + I do like the RPG elements where different choices makes a big impact especially the past since it gives more choices.
    + The guns have lots of varieties.
    + Body parts are varieties as well.
    + Game playthroughs are varied.
    + Lots of vehicles.

    From a marketing perspective.
    - Cyberpunk 2077 should not have been a current gen game, only a next-gen game.

    I'll not waste time going into the scandals this game has already been hit by. Instead I want to look at it six months later to see if they've redeemed themselves. Unfortunately, they have not. Cyberpunk 2077 has gone from an unplayable mess to a barely-playable mess.

    The graphics are where it can be very noticeable. Sometimes buildings, cars and people look amazing and smooth, however most of the time I'm seeing pop-in and draw distance issues even when I'm trying not to notice them. Far too many times have I seen characters flail around like a ragdoll due to glitches. Far too many times I go to draw my gun but the graphics for it do not load, resulting in my character looking like a deadly street mime. There were even times where I would run into an area ready for a fight only for the enemies not to have loaded properly yet, meaning when they do I am stood right in the middle and die within seconds. These things happen far too often to overlook.

    The gameplay is still an incomplete mess. Buttons do not respond when I'm trying to answer my phone or get into vehicles. At one point I couldn't activate an elevator because an NPC engaged me in conversation en-route, but I was given no indication of this. The upgrade system and menu layouts in general are very messy and far from user-friendly. There are a nice range of guns but I found myself constantly running out of ammo as enemies absorbed my bullets like raindrops. The driving is maddeningly stiff and unresponsive. Lots of smaller game design choices are bewildering, such as forcing action to pause when I want to change channels on the radio. It's very easy to get trapped into dialogue where there is no 'goodbye' option, forcing me to walk away to end the conversation. These are all things that should really have been picked up well before six months into the launch.

    The story is Cyberpunk's best feature at present, and that's unfortunate because it's unlikely anyone will tolerate the game enough to get that far. I could only make it as far as Keanu Reeves' introduction before deciding to quite the game and leave it on my shelf until it's more playable. It's not the most coherent of stories in the opening hours, so I'm assuming it ties together better as you play through it.

    In summary, Cyberpunk 2077 had a disastrous launch and still remains on the backfoot six months later. Even on my PS4 Pro it was massively struggling. The fan sounded insane as it struggled to run the game. This is not due to poor technology - this is poor game design. The game plays more like a beta version or an early demo. I waited six months to give them a chance to patch the game but it looks like at least another six months will be needed before it can be an enjoyable experience. Avoid.

    Nunca había visto algo igual en más de 25 años jugando a videojuegos, menuda DECEPCIÓN. Decir que lo he probado en PS5 y a las 3 horas de juego he tenido que dejarlo. Gráficos:
    El juego se ve bastante peor que prácticamente cualquier juego de PS4. El HDR está totalmente roto, en el propio menú, que básicamente es un fondo negro, al activarlo ya ves como el negro se vuelve prácticamente gris. En cuanto a resolución, no se a cuánto irá en PS5, pero se ve todo borroso. Cuando sales a la ciudad de día esto se hace aún más evidente, y además se junta con texturas de edificios que podrían ser perfectamente de PS3, otras que no cargan, carteles y edificios borrosos, etc, dando como resultado una sensación de estar jugando a una alpha a medio hacer.

    Juego:
    El desarrollo del personaje tiene muy buena pinta, y la historia también, pero ni de lejos es lo que los habían querido vender. La ciudad NO se siente viva, no puedes interactuar prácticamente con nada, hay poquísimos NPCs y además sin muy cutres, los del GTAV mismamente, están muy por encima, y los de RDR2 simplemente a años luz de estos, parecen maniquíes sin vida, además de una IA pésima.
    El juego está plagado de bugs, algunos “sin importancia”, como NPCs que atraviesan cosas, objetos flotando, prendas de ropa que desaparecen, pero otros afectan directamente a la jugabilidad, como policías que aparecen de la nada, la policía NO te persigue en coche, misiones que se bugean y no te dejan avanzar, constantes crasheos, etc.

    En resumen:
    La base del juego, como juego de acción/rol tiene buena pinta, pero le quedan meses de desarrollo, no se que habrá estado haciendo CD Pojekt estos 7 años, pero trabajar en la versión de consola segurísimo que no, no me extrañaría que con esta versión se hayan puesto este mismo año, lo que nos han vendido es un alpha a medio hacer. Debería ser denunciable sacar semejante basura al mercado. En mi caso, partida borrada y a esperar al parche next gen, porque esto en consola es injugable, y por supuesto, este es el último juego de CDProjekt que compro de lanzamiento.

    PS5: When it comes to the storyline, it's facial expressions, performances and plot itself, the game shines and shows how incredible it could be. During those times, it's evident that there's been tons of work put into THAT aspect of the game. The city itself is an amazing looking set and again something that show's us all how amazing things could've been.

During those times, it's evident that there's been tons of work put into THAT aspect of the game. The city itself is an amazing looking set and again something that show's us all how amazing things could've been. Graphics when it comes to the main story models (Eveline, Judy etc.) and the city itself can look incredible at times and on a high end PC, things can look better than ever. BUT as soon as you are not running from one map marker to another doing the story with tunnel vision, everything falls apart.

    There are no police that can drive cars and that means there are no car chases, apart from what has been very strictly scripted to happen during the storyline. There are no NPC's that can ride motorbikes. The NPC's in their cars can't drive around obstacles.

    The NPC's that spawn outside of vehicles have 1 role and they will do that role ad infinitum. You have your "wall leaners", your "standing at a stall" models, your walkers.. etc. They do one thing and one thing only. There is no variety or dynamic aspect to their behavior apart from one or two randomized audio lines that come out of their mouths when you "interact" with them. If you follow a walking npc, they will turn 180 at the end of the block and walk right back. If you fire your weapon, they will all duck and cower and if you look away from them and back again, they have diseappeared.

    This is the worst NPC system we have seen in well over a decade, when talking about AAA-games. It was also advertised with a sentence "We've greatly enhanced our crowd and community systems to create the most believable city in any open-world game to date".

    The AI is terrible in all gameplay, even storyline, which hampers the game at every step of the way and especially if you try to play as some sort of a netrunner like I did, putting your skillpoints to intelligence and tech, your gameplay will be limited to opening doors either via your tech skills by hand or point and clicking to "hack it". You can also quickhack anyone you see in such an exiting fashion that you point at them and select something from a boring menu. That's it. Such hacking!
    A text and UI based only game called "Hacknet" on steam does a better job at making you feel like you're actually doing something hacking related. We were shown in the 48min gameplay that we could plug our cable into stunned enemies and hack their network that way and enable quickhacking, but this was scrapped too. This could've improved things so much by making it so you can even get viruses (debuffs) if plugging in unprepared. You could maybe upload viruses to their network, would expose yourself to enemy netrunners in the network (as opposed to any netrunner managing to overheat you from a different room whenever like now) and with a few minigames accompanied with augments that give you an edge in said minigame (ala mini Gwent) you could actually feel like you're infiltrating a system and hacking your way around things and battling netrunners etc.

    But no, it's laughably half-assed in every way. Crafting or upgrading barely serves a purpose as you can just keep on looting, as loot is everywhere, you can't talk to anyone except questline npc's, there's NOTHING TO DO in the city if not starting something from a map marker. Can't interact with BD's, no stripclubs, no clubs with interactivity, no playing minigames - it's just empty.
    Then there's also the fact how they advertised it as a visceral mature experience and are now backpedaling by adding boxers/underwear on the main character when showering and in photomode, even after someone selects to add genitals and turns nudity off. Adults still can't decide themselves. Two prostitutes, 1 male and 1 female - yet said themes advertised at every corner of the world. Can you experience this future city of sin? No, you can not, not even out of curiosity or immersion.
    Not only did they backpedal in features and promises, but in vision and integrity, censoring their own product. This was still a developer I expected to not compromise, not half-ass and NOT LIE. I was wrong on all parts.

    ...and that's all without even adressing the bugs. The bugs will be fixed.. but the rest; I wouldn't hold my breath. The contrast between the story and unfinished aspects just makes everything feel even more sour. Many crashes have ended up in a long sigh and not wanting to boot the game again.

    A more linear/structured experience that wasn't trying to be everything at once could've worked better. It could've also benefitted from not being announced 8 years before release. But hey, 8 mill sales on day one must've been worth it.

    Let's remember this the next time they release something. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

    This is an embarrassment of a release on the PS4. The performance is staggeringly bad, and while the visual design and a lot of the writing are noteworthy, they're hard to enjoy through the blurry, undertextured mess of the graphics. There are also significant shortcuts taken in the AI and character pathfinding, which seem to be indications of a troubled development and poor management.This is an embarrassment of a release on the PS4.

    Bugs are constant and omnipresent, ranging from ragdoll physics failures to scripting breakdowns that leave key missions in an unwinnable state. There's some fun to be had from memeing the more visually incongruous moments, but they play havoc on any attempts at immersion.

    How much CD Projekt RED can fix remains to be seen. Even if the majority of the bugs are squished and the console visual performance brought to an acceptable level from its current abominable one, it's hard to not be left with the impression that there's too many areas where the game is simply half-baked, even on high end PC platforms where its impressive graphics engine is not constrained by hardware deficiencies.

    My verdict, in the timeless words of Immortan Joe: "Mediocre."

    I find this game interesting, the atmo, the story suck me in. I am okay with game mechanics.

    But. Looks is terrible. I thought I must be very tired at lunch, and my eyes are tricking me, but no. I've played GoT and checked out Horizon ZD just before, and encountered this. Reminds me the times around 2000 when I tried to run new games on my cheap low-end PC, and turned off everything

    But. Looks is terrible. I thought I must be very tired at lunch, and my eyes are tricking me, but no. I've played GoT and checked out Horizon ZD just before, and encountered this. Reminds me the times around 2000 when I tried to run new games on my cheap low-end PC, and turned off everything just to get the labels readable around.

    To put it straight, I encountered a few glitches and bugs, a few crashes I can live with if it gets ironed. But I simply don't understand what were they thinking with the visuals. This game is not for a base PS4. I am not going to refund, since I feel for the hard workers of the company who had nothing to do with dates just work their asses off, but the result is outrageous. I am clinging to re-playability, and hoping for getting a PS5 before 2077, and maybe the bad taste in my mouth will fade away. CDPR will always have this taint on them though.

    On the other hand, I want to love this game, and I got hooked. Can't wait to put the kids to bed, and go back to the ugly, disappointing, under performing Night City on a 75" HDR TV, and carry the story on.

    I feel like beaten and robbed by a friend, but still answering the phone, cause I want to believe there is a reason for all of it.

    I suggest not to buy it for the regular PS4. Even if you manage to enjoy the good parts, the wasted potential will be striking wherever you look in the game.

Even if CD fixs it, the game was supposed to be perfect (on performance), and after 8 months of delayment, this is what we have. I'm just disappointed.

    I'm not going to give a protest score of 0. There are some redeemable qualities in CP2077, but they're almost impossible to see past the the bugs, glitches and poor console optimization. If CDPR put as much effort into optimization, polish and fleshing out the game's systems/mechanics as they did in marketing it, there might be a 9/10 or 8/10 game in here somewhere.

    Having perservered to the end credits, I can honestly say this game is very poor. "The generations crowning achievement" is unremarkable in gameplay, story and open world, none of which stand out compared to the dozens of other high quality games released in 2020. How many standard fps shooters do we really need in the industry? Well here's one more for the pile.

How many standard fps shooters do we really need in the industry? Well here's one more for the pile.

    The games many promised features are simply not present at launch, and together with many glitches and bugs, and poor sound design (complete silence for many sound effects, even in main story missions) the game has released unfinished. My own experience had the game crash every 90 minutes, and a glitch caused the game to softlock every time i used my phone.

    The positives are the voice acting, Keanu Reeves and the soundtrack. The main story missions are fine but frankly the whole experience is soured by the feeling of being lied to by the developers and publishers.
    I do not reccomend a purchase of this game, however i feel like it's far too late for that advice, as the hype and false advertising surrounding release has meant very high sale numbers. This game leaves me with genuine feelings of sadness towards everyone involved, as its clear a lot of creative energy went into the project. I intend to refund the game, uninstall, return and then never think about it again. There are enough depressing things in the world without adding shoddy video games to the list.

I feel made fun of as a consumer and primarily as a gamer; it was known that the game would have not been perfect since it has been postponed 3 times, but I did not expect the disaster it is today, The thing that irritates me most is the attitude of the press: any other game released in such conditions would have been massacred, but in this case all the major newspapers have literally turned a blind eye and pretended nothing happened. I hope that the problems will eventually be fixed even if, by now, it is too late, at least for the integrity of the company.

    ITA: Questo gioco è una presa per il culo.
    Attraverso una pubblicità ingannevole gli sviluppatori sono riusciti a nascondere tutti i difetti, visibili a pieno nella versione ps4 del gioco: bug vari, crash (4 in 2h per me), errori grafici, guida poco responsiva, combattimenti noiosi e statici lo rendono praticamente ingiocabile nonostante la patch del day one. Mi sento preso in giro come consumatore e in primis come videogiocatore; si sapeva che il gioco non sarebbe stato perfetto dato che è stato rimandato 3 volte, ma non mi aspettavo minimamente il disastro che è oggi, La cosa che più mi irrita è l'atteggiamento della stampa: qualsiasi altro gioco uscito in tali condizioni sarebbe stato processato, ma in questo caso tutte le maggiori testate giornalistiche hanno letteralmente chiuso un occhio e fatto finta di niente. Spero che vengano fixati i problemi anche se, ormai, è troppo tardi.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. More like Lie-berpunk, amirite? But There is a good game buried underneath the glitches, game breaking bugs, instability and visual problems. I expected some glitches in the open world, but weirdly most occur in the important story set pieces. Which really pull you out of the experience. *spoiler warning for something that was in a trailer 6 months ago * As Jackie dies, he holds up the Johnny Silverhand data shard to your face, except he doesn't, because it seems to be invisible. Dexter Deshawn betrays you, but you can't take him seriously as his arm keeps flapping around like hes doing a bizarre chicken dance. Flashback to Johnny Silverhand's last hurrah, but you can't focus on the story moment because Johnny's partners' jacket keeps glitching off and flying around the room like Doctor Stranges' cape! You wake up in a high speed car chase, the driver passes you a gun. Except he doesn't because it's invisible. So i feel like i should point my finger at the chasing cyborgs and go 'pew pew?' To change view in a car, i have to press the assigned button 10 times, pull over and wait 20 seconds Before anything happens. I've had to Reload saves when key button prompts don't work. Seen people fly around. Texture pop in on a massive scale, Such as the freaking skybox! Now this next part isn't a glitch, but it's infuriating... You can't change your appearance once you've started the game! WTF. A game where body-modifications are everything, and a huge focus is is on appearance and street cred, and you can't even get a haircut! You are stuck with the character appearance you chose at the start of this 40+ hour experience. Normally i wouldn't mind but in the context of the game world it makes zero sense!

    Don't buy the console version. IT'S NOT FINISHED.

    Cyberpunk 2077, on PS4 is simply not acceptable.

    It is short, but it does not mean that the story is bad, its a masterpiece. The Story,The Lore and The Characters are fantastic! All of them are well-acted, have interesting Backstories and my favorite Character was the breathtaking man himself, Johnny Silverhand.
    The Story is 20-25h, but if you do side quests and explore and even aim to 100% it, your play through will be somewhere near 100 hours.
    The Lifepaths were disappointing, they offer new Dialogue Options, but except that very little change.
    The Music in this Game is absolutely masterful!I was driving around and vibing to the Radio, Cyberpunk 2077 has, hands down, one of the best OST's ever.
    Night City is one of the best cities I have ever seen. In fact, the best, standing shoulder to shoulder with Los Santos.
    The Combat and the Weapons are awesome too, since the Bossfights are top class, the Variety of Weapons is awesome, and the Variety of Enemies is also good. Yet you will encounter the same enemies in the parts of Night City as there are leading gangs in the parts of the City.
    The Driving is alright in first Person, yet awesome in 3rd Person. The Cars look fantastic too.

    And now, the Bugs. The Game is unplayable on every PS4 Version, there are a LOT of Bugs. Some are hilarious, yet most of them are annoying, and game breaking. A quick YouTube search should show you how bad the PS4 versions are. They ruin the otherwise well set mood and break the game. It cant be played and enjoyed on PS4.

    CD Projekt knew everything. They false marketed it, showing PC recorded Gameplay and saying it was PS4. More then 50% of Gamers are still on PS4 and Xbox One, since it is hard to get a Next Gen Console in this Pandemic.
    They lied to us, they were only thinking about Money. I am sure the Game will be fixed asap, yet the reputation of CDPR will suffer from this a good while. The Management is very poor in CDPR,and it showed with Cyberpunk 2077

    If you have the game, you should absolutely get a refund. Since it isn't acceptable on PS4. It is the same with Xbox One.
    Awful, CDPR. I will not forget it.

    The combat and UI was totally designed around pc and not with console in mind. It's so cluttered and so floaty with the controller.

    It ultimately seems like that this game for console was a complete cashgrab. Not to mention they hid reviews for the console version. Even if they fix everything, the game itself outside of the soundtrack, main quests, and art style, is not good.

    If you can get past the bugs and glitches the game is pretty good and I’d give it a solid 6. But for a game to hype itself up this much and release in this state is inexcusable.

The game should not have been released in it's state, on PC or any console. The biggest hype for a video game became the biggest flop of 2020. Congratulations CD Project Red... you lost the title of BEST gaming studio.

    Id rather hook up my Nintendo 64 and play Windback rather than attempt at playing a full hour of Cyberpunk 2077.

    This game is unacceptable on PS4, CDPR should have delayed the game to 2021 or they should have released the game only on Next- Gen Consoles and PC. Releasing the broken game with full of bugs cost the Company their reputation.

    This game is awesome, it is so big and it has so many things to do... this is nos a failed attempt to put their vision in place... what they failed eas to be transparent enough to say that cyberpunk 2077 was not ready for PS4... they should have mentioned that they needed to downgrade the graphics on PS4 to allow the game to run smoother... they dis not say it and that has enraged the entire gaming community that saw CD projeckt Red as a customer friendly company.

    Now, after 8 hours into the game so far and having a base PS4 model, the game has only crashed once! But I have encountered several bugs, not critical for gameplay, but they decrease the overall experience...

    Just as it happened with The Witcher 3, the glitches have prevented me to complete at least 3 GIGs/Jobs (the equivalent to quests) and despite the fact they are not critical, I wanted to clear that part of the map before moving into the main storyline...
    Potato mode sometimes pops up, specially after driving fast in the car and approaching NPCs... it takes around 3 to 5 seconds to get the graphics corrected... Inhave not found “moonwalkers”, nor empty zones... the world is alive and full of NPCs... but the graphics are unfortunately downgraded in my 7 year old PS4... not like the crisp and sharp ray traced graphics on a powerhouse gaming PC which many of us cannot afford!

    CD Projekt Red should have mentioned this... they should have released the game next year in base consoles, after patching everything... YES, 1 year after the release of PS5... and then offer an upgrade for PS5... PC version should have come as the main console to play this game... that was not nice!

    I am eager for the patches... I am eager for them to correct the bugs and glitches as this is indeed an ambitious project, and the look and feel is there... gameplay is awesome... RPG mechanics is great... I am probably too soft by giving a 8/10 but I love the game and the setting... and I have been waiting for this eagerly for the past 7 years... and although (as it hapenned with The Witcher 3) the graphics are not what I expected, the game is really awesome... one year from now we will be talking about how great this game is, after it has been patched... in the meantime we hardcore CD Projek Red fans will have to play and try not to enrage ourselves with it... they have promised patches, I bought this game last saturday when the Hotfix or the 1.04 patch was released, and overall it has improved vs what I have seen on youtube... it is not enough, but CD Projekt Red has already promised big patches for january and february... I know is hard, I know is disappointing... but do not deprive yourself of playing suchc a fantastic game... open your mind a little bit, you will enjoy it despite the bugs!

Only problem here is, that I've waited 7 years and I payed FULL PRICE for this.

    I'll be honest, I am enjoying the game (i've learned to do so). Even with the crashes, the bugs, the bad (OH SO VERY BAD) graphics and the unresponsive actions... despite all of this, under all that crap, I know there is an amazing story to be told and an incredible game to be played. I trust CDPR will fix everything down the road... but it's just disappointing not to experience the game at its fullest, on my first run.

    Thankfully i've been gaming since the NES (well actually since the ATARI, but I don't really remember much of it), and i've been fortunate enough to play some of the most incredible video games of all times. Back when 4K graphics, FPS or 3D Sound, did not mattered and were not necessary (they still aren't) to absorb great stories. And so, with that mentality is how I've approached Cyberpunk 2077... Blurry faces? Fine, I’ll just imagine this is Metal Gear Solid... Polygons and bad textures everywhere? OK, I’m playing Ocarina of Time!... basically: This is what we got, let's get over it and try to have some fun playing (or trying to play) this thing.

    But after all that, the reality is that the game doesn't meet today's standards AT ALL! For me, the worst part are the graphics. It’s unacceptable to have these low quality-kind of blurry-plane-strange layers on a video game (even Fallout 3 had HD graphics!). I don't really understand what's going on there, but those 720p-faded-shapes are a constant issue, which stops me from immersing myself in this dystopian universe. It’s proof that this game’s far from finished and that everything advertised was a lie (at least for consoles). Feels like a low blow for the mighty PS4, which should have ended it’s life cycle, running CDPR’s masterpiece, smoothly and with dignity.

    My teachers would agree: You might’ve submitted the most amazing homework in all of the school’s history… But, with so many delays and with such a lazy presentation like this?… Sorry, F!

    The main part of gameplay is just listening/reading the dialog, so the playing of this game is basically just like listening a long, uninteresting podcast. Between all the blahblah you move the character around in a pitch black environment with an awful framerate just to get into next location where you, once again, get to listen some more babbling.

CDPR had a hit on their hands with The Witcher 3. They felt because they did such a great job with that game that they were at the top of the world. They thought they could make anything and everyone would love it because they made The Witcher 3. Well that’s not how that works. Consistency in this industry matters a lot. Making 1 amazing game out of 8 games doesn’t mean you are worthy in the industry. People put too much faith into the studio just because they made 1 amazing game. For those who say Cyberpunk 2077 is a great game, I genuinely can not grasp why you believe that. At first I thought maybe my standards for a quality $60 product was too high, but looking back at it I realize that I’m right in this scenario. The day I buy a game for $60 and it is borderline unplayable on the platform it was advertised for and I say well that was a good experience is the day that I no longer have any self respect. Cyberpunk 2077 is a game full of hopes and dreams, but at the same time lies and failed promises. As of December 10th 2020, the term, “Coming when it is ready”, will mean nothing if we as consumers continue to buy and support games that have clearly taken more from us than just $60. Expand

    The gameplay itself doesn't feel like a 2020 game, more like something that was released 2010. The ai is braindead and again, comparable to a seventh generation game. The game lacks ads sensitivity, making it very hard to aim on console. The character customization/upgrade trees are too complex for what they offer. Maybe I've not played enough rpg's to get this yet, but it feels nauseating having to choose between 60 upgrades, that change completely different stats. And whencit comes to stats, all of these extensive trees only offer surface level stat upgrades that lack depth, like "+1.5% crit chance with swords".

    Honestly the game itself lacks depth when it comes to gameplay, even with the numerous hacks, that are the same as the hacks you already have, but you get "+41 fire dmg per second!!!!11". The body modifications rarely shake up game, being, again surface level stat upgrades, or the overglorified swords that are the mantis claws.The gameplay is the same throughout the entire game, which is understandably disappointing.

    I have the least to say on the story, as it was pretty ok, and to be honsest, the saving grace of this game. Whoever it lacks the choices and non-linearity that were promised and expected. In general the stoy just becomes a lot worse after the first part of the game, which was sad to see as it never managed to engage me as much as it did in it's first hours.

    It's hard to reccomend Cyberpunk 2077 to most people. When, and most importantly, if they fix the game the most vivid rpg fans might get some enjoyment out of to this game, but as right now, I can't say anyone should play this game.

    Poorly optimized with a lack of experience in developing for console, CDPR (the studio, not the developers) bit off more than they could chew. Some history first,

    When GTAV was released on PS3/360, the game ran at 720p and 30fps uncapped, sometimes dipping to 25. It was a big AAA open world game, it ran very well on next gen/PC, though the sacrifices on last gen were mediocre, the game was playable and retained some of its visual effects. But this is Rockstar. So what about CD Projekt Red's history? How would they handle a last gen port of a demanding open world game?

    Cyberpunk 2077 is a next gen/PC title crammed on last gen hardware. CDPR has mostly done PC ports with a console port coming out the following year. (Witcher 2, 2011 on PC, the following year, a console port was released). Witcher 3 was the first AAA title CDPR handled with console platforms at launch, it struggled but it worked and improved with patches.

    Cyberpunk 2077's PS4 port barely runs at 25fps, dipping to 15, at a resolution from 900p to 720p. The game was clearly meant to run on a PC and benefits from a PS4 Pro. However, while the PS4 is becoming outdated, good games can be optimized for its hardware like S-M Miles Morales, which looks gorgeous. It takes the right kind of time and experience to make a console port work. CDPR did not have the experience and its awful crunch and hectic development cycle has harmed the developers from making a polished product for the console market. The game should not have been released on PS4/Xbox One AT ALL. It runs and feels like a switch port with horrible draw distance, buggy models and your character's private parts clipping through the clothes.

    What CDPR as a studio has done to its developers, I don't fully know, but it clearly was not handled well after 4 delays and a lack of proper assessment of how the game would run.
    A few things could have been done

    -Delay the game not 4 times, but a full year. Spring/Summer 2021
    The game is polished on last gen, and there's enough time for an enhanced port on next gen later that year for the holiday season.
    -If the game did not perform acceptably on last gen, it should not have been sold at all.
    Next gen/PC should have been prioritized.

    But no. When the company prioritizes sales over the performance of a port/game, they have betrayed the trust of their own developers who are crunched exhausting hours to meet their demands, and the consumer who spend their money on a product that is promised to play, and the game is far from finished.

    It is clear the game has a lot of ambition, ideas and gameplay. However, in this state, the studio has failed its developers, the hard workers who made their vision come true for the sake of profit because they likely knew the console market would sell like hot cakes for the winter season.

    To the developers at CDPR and Cyberpunk 2077, I am so sorry for the stress and time this has caused you. The game is buggy on PC, according to what I've seen/from what my friends have played, but it looks much better. I hope this situation teaches AAA studios to not crunch developers over unreasonable demands of high performance games not performing well on outdated console hardware.

    I truly hope another AAA title never results in this situation ever again. I give this a low score not to demean the developers, but the executives in charge who made this port available for sale.

The technical issues are constant, numerous and ruin any immersion the game almost provides. The graphics are extremely lack-luster.

    Night City, despite being well designed on a large scale, feels completely void of any genuine interactivity - it is too big and too dense for there to be so little to do in it, besides driving to new jobs and occasionally stopping to fight random gang encounters.

    For what was marketed as a deep and complex RPG, it fails on multiple levels. Character customisation is limited and I have seen better from games that barely even mention it in their marketing material. The gear, to be fair, has made me laugh. If you focus on stats and don't take your character too seriously, you can end up looking absolutely ridiculous and it's quite fun.

    The gunplay and combat as a whole is almost average. Just completely forgettable and full of jank - yet somehow still the most enjoyable part of the game - perhaps only because of the badass music that kicks in.

    Ultimately, technical and graphical issues aside, it feels like a generic action-adventure looter-shooter game from a small studio from 2015, and nowhere near delivers on the hype or on the game that was promised and shown in the multiple Night City Wires and other advertising material.

    There's character buried somewhere in this game, and a potential to be a fantastic experience, however this potential will not be achieved through patches alone. This will be come only from a complete overhaul - a 'No Man's Sky' - which it seems unlikely we will ever receive. Worst gaming disappointment of all time.

    Shame on CDPR, shame on them for their lies, shame on them for their false advertising, and shame on them for allowing 8 million people to preorder a game that is months and months from being finished.

Unfortunately, the extent of the drawbacks are unlike any I've seen from a major studio at launch. At its core, shooting and driving are extremely rigid - the mechanics harken back to the age of early driving and shooting - imagine GTA 3 driving combined with GoldenEye 007 shooting mechanics (I'll be honest, the guns do look pretty). This area of the game is a mediocre "5 out of 10" - mainly due to some creativity with advanced weapons. Lastly, the bugs. Even on PS5, I have had SIX fatal crashes in about FOUR hours of gameplay. That level of issues I have not seen yet in modern gaming (my AC Valhalla playthrough crashed once in 75 hours of gameplay). These issues that make the game unplayable (by literally kicking you out of the game), are a clear 0 out of 10. That's why I landed at a 4 out of 10. A few quick comments. The QA team for this game has clearly underperformed - it's blindingly clear in my playthrough so far. Any half decent QA who has experienced fatal crashes would have reported them. That being said, it's also unfortunate that the product and business teams pushed deadlines and let all this slide. Keep in mind, we're seeing this for the first time - but these teams have had months of playing a buggy, crashing game while claiming it "has gone gold." I'm writing this after the 6th crash, mid-dialogue, and I've given up on restarting the game again. It's unplayable. Expand

    -Life path has no impact.

    -Illusion of choice with dialogue. You have one optional dialogue option which will just lead you back to one or two story progressing dialogue options which have the same outcome. No way to craft your V into who you want, female V has more personality than male V. -Lack of customization. There are no options to change the body type of your V. No sliders, all

    -Illusion of choice with dialogue. You have one optional dialogue option which will just lead you back to one or two story progressing dialogue options which have the same outcome. No way to craft your V into who you want, female V has more personality than male V.

    -Lack of customization. There are no options to change the body type of your V. No sliders, all features are presets. Lacking a wider variety of colors. No further in game customization, once you pick your V in the beginning you’re stuck with that. No barbers, no tattoo shops, no plastic surgeons.

    -No transmog. You can’t style your V how you like because stats are tied to wearing specific clothing. You have to look like a clown to have good stats.

    -Feels like a looter shooter, not a well thought out RPG. Crafting is useless, you just pick up new weapons with slightly higher stats. There’s no reason to upgrade weapons for measly .5% improvements in stats when you can just pick up something better on the ground. You can’t feel attached to weapons or certain play styles as you cycle through new weapons quickly with no incentive to invest in more creative methods for dealing with situations. Most situations are most easily dealt with by just blasting your way through. Stealth is horrible, and there’s little incentive to hack and sneak your way through a situation.

    -Way too much random loot. Loot should feel significant or useful at the right time, like before a boss fight. The screen is absolutely cluttered with a comedic amount of loot. It breaks immersion from the story missions, clearing rooms of loot in time sensitive situations. You have to just pick everything up and check it after the mission to see what’s junk and what’s a keeper. -AI of NPCs is among the worst I’ve ever seen. This gets to the heart of why the game is a disappointment. Night City feels dead. NPCs walk around like zombies. They are not interactive. They either say one line, don’t react to your actions, crouch in fear over violent actions, or just despawn or glitch out right in front of you. -Police AI is abysmal. There is NO dynamic driving AI in this game whatsoever. This means cops can’t chase you and can’t search for you or “investigate” like in other games with wanted systems. They simply spawn all around you instantly and start blasting. Kill one person in the middle of the desert? Doesn’t matter, cops are on your ass instantly. Commit a crime at the end of a dead end alley? Cops will spawn behind you at the dead end of the alley. Any dynamic driving or chasing is only done in on the rails story missions.

    -General lack of interactivity with the world. You can’t go shopping, very few vendors. Talks from CDPR about the map being vertical and a lot of places being explorable is a straight up lie. Most doors are locked with nothing behind. Can’t go to the bar and grab a drink, can’t go clubbing, tons of arcade machines everywhere and you can’t play a single one, no mini games in general, can’t grab a bite to eat from street vendors. Exploration isn’t rewarding, there is no “finding your favorite little spot”.

    -Driving isn’t fun or responsive and other NPCs can’t drive dynamically. If their path is blocked, they can’t go around and simply pile up behind and then despawn. -Combat isn’t fun. Enemies are bullet sponges, it’s not fun shooting a simple enemy 10 times in the head. It feels like it’s to drag out battles longer instead of making them more fun or dynamic. There is not a “wide variety of ways to approach a situation”, in the end you’re just blasting enemies and it starts to feel like a mediocre FPS. There are not enough RPG elements to make up for this. Notice, CDPR stopped marketing this as an RPG a while ago, it seems likely that a lot of RPG content was cut. They are now marketing it as “An open world action-adventure game”. The game doesn’t look or play how we were advertised that it would. There is nothing gritty, or alive about Night City. CDPR knew this game would run poorly on consoles so they didn’t allow review copies to be sent out for consoles. They didn’t allow PC reviewers to use their own footage, only allowing b-roll and promotional footage to be used in reviews. They knew they were releasing a poor product. Reviewers got death threats when they reviewed the game poorly, so I don’t blame professional reviewers for giving high scores.

    I wanted so bad to have fun playing this game, I tried. I didn’t even bring up all the bugs and glitches! There are so many fundamental problems with this game even without all the bugs. I looked forward to this game for two and a half years, but I didn’t have unrealistic expectations. I went in with an open mind and didn’t listen to launch day backlash. I tried to make the game my own and let myself get immersed in it, but it just never clicked. Everything in this game, other games do better.

    The game is probably got an awesome plot and quests but everything else is so so. I was waiting for the game because of promised romances, plot and role playing in a dark future! I suggest you to wait for 6 month more before purchase and buy it when there is enough patches and fixes.

    - PlayStation 4 image is bad. You don’t buy rpg because of graphic but cyberpunk is too blurry, it’s

    - PlayStation 4 image is bad. You don’t buy rpg because of graphic but cyberpunk is too blurry, it’s hard to play especially if you yourself need a glasses :) I’d say it’s worse than dragon age 1 lvl of graphics. - The bugs: T poses, crashes, enemy stuck in walls, and lot more. Ai acting primitive. - I’m playing shooters on consoles not often but in cyberpunk it’s hard to shoot. No shooting assistance and I miss most of time. Overall battle feels outdated compared to most of other shooters. - it happens there is one romanceable npc for hetero female and his appearance is more for men tastes. Feel like they didn’t asked females about if character is appealing. They were just “All girls loves muscle men’s. All! Let’s give them giant steroid dude! More muscle - the more love! And make him bald and brutal faced! Yes that’s what all females loves”
    Usually games gives a choice because we all with different tastes but not in this game. There is no playersexual characters in a cyberpunk. Too sad I liked the gay dude the most. - The plot seems interesting and really enjoyed what I saw so far. Nice dialogues and scenes. Good job! Characters are cool and you feel them!

    - Role playing is good if you can imagine yourself as street gang member. Don’t expect to roleplay cool hacker or pretty chick. But fine, at least they comment my mc gender.

    Probably this can be win if company keep working and fixing their stuff like it was with the “no mans sky”

    I'm dissapointed that a game that took so much time to develop has this many technical issues on this version, if the game wasn't ready to be released CDPR should had waited and improved the PS4 version or just not release it into the system. As for the story I like it but is difficult to love it when you are having to reload the game because of bugs.

    I launched Cyberpunk 2077 on my PS4 Slim several weeks after the release and most of the bugs were fixed, so I was able to play the game from start to finish. However, the quality of textures was painfully low, I usually had only 20-22 frames per second while driving around the city (with dips below 20), and some objects tended to disappear. The technical state and graphics of the PS4 version are awful, which is a shame, because the game itself has one of the best stories I have ever encountered, its gunplay is really good, and Night City is very impressive.

    Cyberpunk 2077 is a game brimming with potential, and it damn near reaches it on so many occasions, but the pitfalls of its development ultimately drag it down. There's still a lot to like here for RPG fans and lovers of the genre, but it's far from the generation-defining masterwork that the world was waiting for.
