    После патча 1.05 дела на PS4 Pro улучшились. Далеко не идеально, но уже играбельно. Оценку поднимаю и жду (хотя осадок все равно останется) дальнейших изменений.

    Simplifying this, this game runs really badly in the Ps4 pro and the resolution is horrible as well. Probably to be expected with the lack of console review codes. An embarrassment to the developing community and a complete disappointment on the CDPR team. Not to touch without at least 6 months of patches or try to find a Ps5 to play it.

    Played on a base model PS4. I mention that because as a title that launched in a state just as bad as, if not worse than, Fallout 76 did, here is where it was said to have had the worst performance.

Things have certainly come a long way. There are still bugs and glitches, but Cyberpunk has at least reached a point on the console where it is entirely playable. So while that does not make up for all the scummy things that went on behind the scenes, it does mean I have finally been able to experience the content it offers and can review the actual game itself, rather than just remarking on its technical shortcomings and CD Projekt RED's lies. A game that, while still good, is nowhere near what we were promised it was going to be.

    Night City is a massive place filled with enough side-quests and odd jobs to keep you busy for hundreds of hours. Almost all of which have a level of writing comparable to that of GTA V's. The world itself is diverse, teeming with life, and is one of the best I've experienced in all my years of gaming. I often found myself forsaking driving and walking to my objectives just to take in the sights.

    Unfortunately, your interactions with it are painfully limited narrative-wise. It's a good story. One filled with incredibly well-written and acted characters I grew to genuinely care about. It's just not even remotely as open-ended as they told us it was going to be. The main plot thread is very linear with each quest largely playing out the exact same way every time right up until you choose an ending. It makes multiple playthroughs kind of boring as you've basically seen everything it has to offer the first time around save for the actual different endings themselves. Yeah, you can pick another background for your avatar, but outside of the occasional dialog option this only affects which prologue you'll receive and has no real impact on the rest of the experience. Compare this to CD's earlier work The Witcher 2 where a choice you make relatively early on can take you to two entirely different areas complete with their own content and you have a noticeable and significant step back for the developer.

    There are some other, more minor aspects of the game that aren't up to par as well. Like the character creation system that favors superfluous feeling cosmetic decorations over rather basic means of crafting facial structure. Did we really need the ability to select genital size in lieu of being able to shape foreheads? I think not. The shooting and driving controls are also loose, which led to a lot of tinkering in the menus before they became useable for me.

    Forever marred by the dishonest and even illegal business practices of its creators and (at times VERY) rough around the edges, Cyberpunk 2077 is still worth playing for the things it does brilliantly and the myriad number of ways you can use technology to transform your body into the ultimate killing machine. In a lot of ways it was the futuristic gangster life simulator I never knew I wanted. Yet, this is far from the genre redefining RPG it was marketed as and lags behind its peers in some embarrassing ways given the talent putting it out. So when all is said and done this is merely a "good" game when it should have been the next big thing.

    During the game I was charmed by the atmosphere and writing of the game. It is one of the best storytelling you will see in a game. Dialogues and characters are written perfectly. Every relation with NPCs in a game feels almost real. They are not just quest givers but after series of events they are becoming your friends.
    The main plot may be not original but it is masterfully told with plenty of tension, relations, twists and atmosphere. All the side missions are worth doing and each arc has some unique flavor (detective work, nomadic families, houses of pleasure, braindances, netrunners).
    When it comes to gameplay, I would say that, Cyberpunk 2077 is a great story, but at most decent game. Sometimes it feels like the developers fell in love with story so much that they forgot that the player should be in control. There are whole sections where it doesn't matter what you do or what dialogue option you choose. Moreover I was surprised that I didn't wanto to level up. The leveling system is so complicated and yet meaningless that I was never looking forward to gain a level. Same with random tasks in the open world - I didn't care about them. In theory each of them had some story behind them, but it was told only through a note or call log and got repetitive after a while.
    But even with all these flaws I spent more than 100 hours in the game and didn't feel tired of it until the end quest. I can recommend Cyberpunk. I think that the hype did caused a lot of harm to the game. The expectation were too high.

The combat did click for me at one point and became really fun but before then when I was lacking high damage weapons and versatile upgrades it felt very slow and bullet spongey. Would I recommend it? No. I would wait a year until all the bugs have been fixed, there is more polish (no pun intended) and hopefully some more content is added. I’m going to wait until 2022 before I do my second play through and hopefully by then it will be a 9/10 experience, though I can’t imagine it ever meeting the expectations it might have once had.

    - 80 hours of gameplay to complete the whole game I guess
    - V is a solid character
    - The world is beautiful
    - Details did go into this game
    - It has potential

    Bad
    - The AI system
    - Cop system, there is none
    - Nothing to explore really. Like there is, but after 30 hours everything just feels the same. If you compare Fallout and Bioshock. All there is, is clubs, same apartments, houses, and strip joints. Like I wish there was more exploration.
    - Superlinear game where choices don't matter.
    - Crashes all the time.
    - Your character becomes OP within 15 hours. So there's no challenge.
    - You can't change your player's appearance.
    - The map is so close where you find yourself hitting the walls all the time.
    - Not replayable for now at least.

    Okay
    - Storyline. Something about it is forgetful which is a shame. I can tell the first 10 hours is amazing, but later on, you can tell it was just rushed out.
    - Characters. Okay, the characters are great. The problem is, a lot of these characters don't have enough air time where I feel personal/attached.

    Firstly, the review isn't based on glitches or hype. I only had one crash/restart during the whole playthrough - the recent Sniper game was much worse in the respect.

    Rather than being 'genre defining' or 'next-gen', Cyberpunk is another half finished game with a half-cooked storyline and poor dialogue. The game never really gets going, its more like the senior developers threw a bunch

    Rather than being 'genre defining' or 'next-gen', Cyberpunk is another half finished game with a half-cooked storyline and poor dialogue. The game never really gets going, its more like the senior developers threw a bunch of ideas into a first draft and put it out there. The game is enjoyable at times, but like a lot of recent games, there is far too much following behind a NPC and pressing square to advance the narrative. There are no real choices, you just follow along and go where you're told. The main story just ends suddenly, with no emotional investment or conclusion. I did like the 80s, sci-fi feel to the game.

    I think a sequel which was something closer to Bladerunner, where you play as a cop would be interesting, if CDPR got a decent team in and allowed the player more freedom.

    After 120 hours - I had fun. On PS5 I have PS4 version and the game is not great, not terrible.

    Night City (8/10) Very nice and detailed city. But it crashes when I travel a lot on my bike or car. Buildings have only max. 3 floors to go (example: garage, 1st floor, 55th floor). There is no large megabuiliding that is like a vertical city itself. But the city has potential. Story

    Night City (8/10)
    Very nice and detailed city. But it crashes when I travel a lot on my bike or car.
    Buildings have only max. 3 floors to go (example: garage, 1st floor, 55th floor). There is no large megabuiliding that is like a vertical city itself. But the city has potential.

    Story (8/10)
    Good story, but more linear then open (like AC: Odyssey) - it has only different beginnings and endings. You have also some good character stories. But no faction stories like Fallout games or Witcher 3.
    No big differences between Nomad, Corpo, Street kid. Not big defferences between hacker build, crafter build, handgun-shooter build either.

    Music and sound effects (10/10)
    This is the only thing that is polished.

    Dialogs (8/10)
    Good dialogs but many of them have no consequences. Most of them are linear - just different attitude (like AC:Odyssey or Mass Effect: Andromeda). But they are good written dialogs. Not as lame as in Fallout 4.

    RPG mechanics (8/10)
    Crafting is good, but simple. You have nice options for builds like hacking, gun-handling, crafting, stealth, so you can choose to be nice stealthy hacker, shooter and crafter - you can have it all.

    Gun-play (7/10)
    Good gunplay and guns. Big variety of tech and smart weapons, hanguns, rifles, shotguns.
    You can only give them different scopes and maybe a silencer and you can modify them with some mods.
    But you cannot optimize them much with different muzzles, barrels, stocks, magazines, triggers - Semi-Auto, Full-Auto and Burst modes. You cannot even paint them.

    In games I like when you have situations where you have to use different guns. Here I can handle every situation with a revolver. Even against enemies that have shotguns, machine guns, snipers, close quarter combat, long range combat, in open area, on streets... I can kill anyone in any situation with a revolver or a sniper rifle.
    If I am good with revolvers and not so much with shotguns, then it's easier to kill tough enemies with revolver then with a super heavy shotgun.

    Cars and bikes (7/10)
    Great design but terrible driving. The only thing that you can normally drive are motorbikes in 3rd person view. Cars are sliding like on ice.

    Graphics on PS5 (7/10)
    Not great, not terrible. The textures on PS5 could be 1080p not 720p. They didn't took advantage of next-gen consoles and did terrible optimization on PS4. It's a lose-lose situation (no-win).

    AI and world interactions (3/10)
    Just bad AI. The opponents are dumb, crowd is dumb, police are dumb. Their is not even a standard NPC and opponent AI and interactions like in standard games: Farcry, Deus Ex, GTA, Ghost Recon, Assassins Creed, Horizon Zero Dawn, Ghost of Tsushima, etc.
    Opponents have no tactics, no behaviour, no routines.

    Physics and collisions (3/10)
    Just bad. Objects are fusing, dissapearing, flying into sky, going under the world... you can die randomly during some collisions with objects... Cars are sliding, bikes are ok. Car crashes have no sense. Sometimes you can crash your big heavy car agains any car, sometimes you can drive through cars, sometimes you can destroy big car with your tiny car...
    There is no variety of physics like - water physics, bullet physics, fire physics, explosion physics, etc. There is no physics interaction between bullets, explosions and fire against world around you.

    Bugs 2/10
    Game crashes, dissapearing of NPC's, fusing of objects, NPC's stucked during missions, random enemy can attack you during conversation and kill you, you car will blow up and you will die randomly, objects flying around, NPC's flying around...

    Promises fulfilled (3/10)
    They promised features that will give you possibilities in game.
    1. Promise not fulfilled: Backstory:
    Childhood hero: Samurai rockerboy, Solo, Corporate god
    Key Life Event: death of sibling, ran away from home, first big kill
    2. Promise not fulfilled: A big world that is interactive.
    3. Promise not fulfilled: Crowd and community systems to create most believable city in any open-world game to date. People all living their lives with a full day and night cycle.

    Story and game play is exceptional, graphically (minus bugs, glitches & crashes) the backwards compatible version is ok, with some further optimisation, I pray that these can write the wrongs.

    As an Australian, we are paying between $76-$110 AUD for this game. And if not for the captivating game play and story, I would be requesting a refund due to a poor product.

    CDP have a lot of work to do, they know this, and I'm hoping that this be a lesson to them in the future that if you want to run a hype train such as they have, make sure they have a product that works first.

    What we have witnessed is the battle between keeping the stockholders happy and game devs pushing for more time. Instead of chucking them under the bus, allow them time to finish to a quality that's playable.

Cyberpunk has an interesting story and several characters that are memorable. Side missions with key characters are even enjoyable and provide several perspectives on what life can be like in Night City. When it works and the game is not having any texture issues, Night City does look amazing and CDPR nailed the Cyberpunk vibe with the vehicles, the looks of the NPCs and the buildings plastered with ads that would be from that era. Combat can be fun with many ways to approach certain sections, although the hacking mechanics were more of an afterthought for me and enemy AI can be so stupid it makes the fun of combat inconsistent.

    I played the game on a PS5, so it was not anywhere near unplayable to playing it on a base last-gen console, however my play-though still had many crashes (around 1 per hour?) and game-breaking bugs that required me to reset the game or reload a save. Several times pop-ups would get stuck on the UI and it was extremely annoying. Not to mention NPCs would just fail to do animations properly, get stuck on terrain and T pose randomly.

    When CDPR manages to fix all these issues and who knows when that will be, we have a great game here. I am also keen to see what DLCs they will cook up, but for now, I would recommend staying away until they do fix it or if you managed to get your hands on a next-gen console and have extreme patience like I do then give it a go.

    The Bad

    Hard to follow at times

    More style over substance

    What was CDPR thinking of releasing a game in this state? The performance is woeful at time. Simple animations just freaking out, slow load times when opening the map/menu, some really basic stuff that there's really no excuse for. Performance isn't great and CDPR will have lost a lot of goodwill by deceiving players. Personally, I'm of the opinion that The Witcher 3 wasn't great at launch but they turned that around. Admittedly, this is a big mountain to climb but I have faith they will make it right.

    All the bugs aside, I have found it pretty enjoyable. I'm enjoying the narrative more than I thought I would but it can be a slog when they start chatting about tech like you're supposed to know wtf they're talking about. The game suffers from the common problem that all open-world games face in today's gaming landscape and that is they all feel flat and dull. A massive city, nobody around. The ones that are around ain't doing **** which, kinda makes sense narratively for this corpo world. It used to be ok 10, 20 years ago but players expect a bit of feel and buzz in their open-world experiences. Pair the lack of buzz with and NPC sitting on thin air or leaning on a wall but a good 2 feet away from it and verisimilitude goes right out the window.

    Character creation has plenty of options for you to create whatever weirdo you want. The ability to choose full nudity is a great inclusion and something I hope to see more of in mature games going forward. I thought for sure Sony would censor it. Matters like this should always be given to the individual to decide and not be told by companies that you can't see this. We have age ratings for a reason. Your outfit is your armour in this game which is nice. Means you can walk around in shorts and a vest without losing armour but, the best amour I have seen so far tends to come in the form of bigger, heavier items that are fit for purpose, which makes sense. Just once I would like my pink hotpants to protect me more than combat gear, sigh. 1 thing that has annoyed me is the lack of a hide armour feature. Unless I'm an idiot and have missed it somewhere, you cant choose to hide any clothes. I really want to hide my hat and mask slots but it doesn't seem to be possible.

    Seen a lot of people complain about the driving and I don't know what to tell you. It's basic and serves a purpose. I haven't found it too bad. This is an FPS/RPG, not Gran Turismo.

    Overall there's still a lot of work that needs to be done to bring this game up to its full potential. CDPR were kind of the last bastion of a safe and trusted developer for many gamers. But first impressions matter, ask Anthem, ask Marvel Avengers. It's what you will be remembered for and Cyberpunk is going to be, I think for a lot of people, remembered more for what it's done to CDPRs reputation rather than a game that was what seems to be, too ambitious in its reach.

    I will keep the faith for now that CDPR will keep working on Cyberpunk to make it the best it can be. And I believe they will in their own way, try to make it up to their audience, which is more than can be said for the rest of the AAA crowd. But they are on thin **** ice in my book. Because you can't tell me this game has spent 7, 8 years in development and release something of this quality. It would be a different story if this was another yearly or biennial title like AC has become. You would expect this level of quality. But 8 years!!! It's actually worse.

    The storyline is great. The depth and sometimes overwhelming density of the environment is incredible. The gameplay mechanics are good. Acting, scripting etc. is excellent.

    The bugs ruin the game. On PS4, I've had 4 crashes in about 8 hours of gameplay. The random graphic glitches border on making the game unplayable. I can deal with floating assets, but the one that really ruins

I can deal with floating assets, but the one that really ruins the game are when dialog starts overlapping or the audio gets off track from the gameplay. I've also had several instances where I can't progress because something got "stuck" in the progress.

    Another glitch that makes the game almost unplayable is when the description pop-up box for an item gets stuck on screen. I've had a tire iron description box stuck in the bottom right of the screen overlapping needed information and it simply won't go away.

    I've also somehow managed to screw up an association with a group that seems to be critical to the story that has caused me to have to creatively find a way through a mission with no weapons and dozens of angry gang members. Thank god in this stage I'm apparently a bullet sponge and able to fist punch huge dudes with AR's and steal their gear.

    This game should have been delayed. It's clearly half baked. It's a shame because the premise, story, environment and gameplay could have made this one of the best titles in a decade. Instead it plays like a rushed demo.

    I deeply love Cyberpunk 2077, I bought the lore book, I watched the Night City wires, I followed its development for years.
    However, when I got the game on ps4, I noticed a LOT of glitches. The game likes to bug and glitch out, oftentimes graphics don't fully load, sometimes theres a substantial lag when moving fast. Don't bother with cars, they don't handle well at all, and don't bother

Don't bother with cars, they don't handle well at all, and don't bother driving ANYTHING in first person because it is SO disorienting and difficult and annoying. Motorcycles are the only vehicles that work. The game has crashed on me, A LOT. I've had glitches happen that haven't been fixable by restarting/reloading my last save. I've had to go back at least 40 minutes of gameplay multiple times just to get rid of a persistent bug like Rogue showing up in my apartment when I called her on the phone and not disappearing no matter how many times I restarted the game. I've played over 40 hours so far so this isnt just a first impression either.
    It's frustrating that such an otherwise fantastic and immersive game was released so broken for the platform it was originally intended to release on. The negativity and anger is directed at the management and executives at CDPR for deliberately hiding ps4 gameplay because they feared it would hurt their day one sales, which is so messed up. I bought the game on pre order over a year ago. and now I feel like a damn fool to be honest. I will have to actually spend thousands of dollars to buy parts and build a high functioning PC in order to play this game properly which tell take me more time and money than I could ever dream of having to make this game work the way it should.
    Don't get mad at the Devs, story designers or artists. This isn't the fault of those who put in so much time and hard work and love into this game over the years. The game when it works is phenomenal. It's immersive, the characters and relationships feel real, the story is exciting, Keanu Reeves' performance is fantastic and compelling, etc. This is really a management and executive issue and CDPR needs to be held accountable as a company for this level of deceit and the way they actually treated their employees. Forced crunches and six day weeks and the threat of withholding bonuses if the game didn't get over 90% is downright unethical and unfair.
    I don't recommend playing this game on console. It's a frustrating, heartbreaking, and disappointing experience. Don't know how it plays on the next gen consoles, but from what I've watched and read and experienced, it seems like the game performs at its best on a high graphics high functioning PC, which honestly sucks as it alienates lower income players who cant afford to drop thousands of dollars on a PC that will run this monster of a ~120GB game.
    I really hope CDPR gets its **** together and starts listening to its fans and treating its employees well. It's evident that so much hard work and love and thought went into creating this marvelous game and it's unfair that so many people's experience has been incredibly tainted by this absolute mess of a release on last gen consoles.

It isn't GTA, people, and it doesn't pretend to be. It is an open world but from a whole other perspective. I enjoy this game and I will keep on enjoying it for another few months. I hope the problems on the PS4 are fixed very soon so everyone will be able to enjoy this game as it is a game you really need to experience. Due to the bugs and crashes I have to give it a 7 now.

The character creation menu is rich with detail and the three life paths are a welcome feature, providing background to help cement your version of V in Night City.

    Sadly it does suffer from destructive bugs, visual issues and crashes all the same. NPCs and enemies trapped in T-poses mid-combat, enemies clipping the environment and becoming trapped, NPCS spawning in the middle of the road, weapon stats boxes sticking to the main screen and not disappearing when you move away, as well as random crashes and save corruptions.

    Anyone with even a minor gripe about this game is dubbed as a "hater" and challenged to "try and do better than CDPR", a defensive comeback that was popular back in primary school. We're living in an age where it's seemingly acceptable for folk out there to review-bomb a game like TLOU2 based solely on the body type of its female antagonist, but no one is allowed to say anything negative about the likes of Cyberpunk 2077 and its inability to function on even a basic gameplay level.

    How would you want us to critique this game, if not by holding its technical issues to account? Bethesda took a beating with Fallout 76, for example, and that game suffered some similar bugs and glitches. CDPR are not immune to criticism. Cyberpunk 2077 has the foundation of a brilliant game at its core, but it needs a little more work. The first few days were rough but I have faith in this game.

    What a buggy and, miserable launch Cyberpunk 2077 has been for us on consoles. On pc and next gen systems it seems to be fine but for us, well it's pretty bad, from pop ins or characters not speaking their dialogue as they are suppose to or even a crash every hour when you are either in a big part of the story or in combat and then crashes and you have to do it all over again.

    My game at least crashed once or twice a day and I mean that. some how I found enjoyment with the game which sounds
    ridiculous and controversial considering the platform I played it on. I think honestly I am a sucker for RPG's
    as it is probably my favorite video game genre. As the game is entirely first person which I honestly love,
    because I feel like I am actually V, and seeing my characters face wasn't a problem for me until a couple portions where the emersion kind of broke for me. I won't spoil the story as that is the best part of the game and everyone should at least get through once or watch others play it's your choice. Dialogue is pretty good but honestly they should have branched out your choices much more to create different branching narratives and keep the player guessing what is to come.

    Gameplay is alright it sucks at the beginning as it feel very janky especially the camera feels slow and annoying and enemies are either brain-dead, bullet sponges or instant death. Which makes the game either annoying or difficult, even when the combat is repetitive you have ways to play the game either as a build who only uses melee weapons a net-runner who uses technology as their weaponry.

    Even with guns you can customize your own V with different kinds of clothing but what sucks is that some of the clothing you want you can't see until after you put it on and if you want to keep your current clothes like your style you will have to upgrade it constantly so you don't get instant killed as the game gets harder as you level up. Crafting exists in this game but I found it pointless as you can get op weapons later in the game for free without the need to craft unless you're a completion-ist like myself then it will be your best friend. There is also skill points or perk points you can use to give yourself new ability's and adjust to your playstyle. For me I went for a stealth approach because screw those cameras and if I got caught whelp guns blazing I go.

    Before I forget I only experienced two game breaking bugs one at the end of Act 1 and another at the end of Act 3 both involved keycards and the one involved an elevator. Also the vehicle AI is pretty garbage I think I hit more vehicles popping in then taking out enemies and you can literally run with your gun out no problem in front of people until you start to shoot at them, they will either duck and stay or run away from you. one more gripe the cops are terrible and literally the easiest enemies to trigger and run away as they will become endermen, and teleport directly where you are at and all you have to do to get rid of them is to run away for a few minutes and that is it.

    What else is there to say well the side quests and storylines are interesting to do I didn't think they were boring or just annoying and It was a nice change considering a zone out in most side quests. The world is pretty big and their is a lot to do in terms of extra stuff like clearing out crime scenes or buying new vehicles. It's just a shame that you can't interact with the world as much like different animations when you buy weapons or even eat to heal.

    To be sure I saw everything and I pretty much did I platinumed the game because that is how much I enjoyed but I think going back and grinding to 100% in it wasn't the best but I did just so I can have another to my completion-ist collection, until DLC because I want more of the story and better gameplay. But the next updates really need to fix it, just so everyone can get the enjoyment I experienced. Is it worth buying well not digitally because Sony took it off the store. You can really only buy it on disc but I would say wait it out as i should hopefully be fixed by then. Is there a good RPG in this? Well yes and no but that is up for you to decide and if you enjoyed the game and people say that you shouldn't like it well remember its an opinion and don't let anybody change that for you.

Yes it does look like a roblox game if something isn’t loaded in, yes it has bugs. But the textures are because the REDengine doesn’t want load times when driving through the city so it loads textures as you get close to them. My biggest problems are just progress bugs and crashes which can easily be fixed by reloading a save.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. On launch, this game was borderline unplayable on PS4. However, I'm reviewing this about eight months after release, and the updates that have been pushed out in that time have done wonders. There are still some performance issues (framerate stutters when driving at high speeds is mostly what I've noticed) and annoying bugs (objectives not triggering, HUD glitches, and other things that generally require reloading a save), but there's a solid game underneath those problems.

    Where Cyberpunk really shines is in its writing. The characters are great, and I very rarely go through a conversation without milking as much dialogue out of the NPCs as possible. Both the main storyline and many of the side quests have interesting premises that are well-executed--I particularly enjoyed one line of side quests which revolved around a condemned man choosing to die by crucifixion for the purpose of it being turned into a braindance and your participation in making it happen. Unfortunately, the gameplay is very okay. Gunplay is relatively standard, most progression feels pretty meaningless, and the hacking/netrunning mechanics are just un-fun.

    All in all, I have enjoyed (and am enjoying! it's a big game) my time with Cyberpunk, but it's still hard to reconcile what the game actually is with what it could have been given the hype.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of coursed influenced by my personal opinions.

    (5)Flawed. It may be obvious that the game has lots of potential, but it’s most engaging features could be undeniably flawed or not integrated into the experience.

    To start off I didn’t buy in the marketing that Cyberpunk is going to be bringing the genre to a new level. I loved how CD Project did on The Witcher 3 but I knew they were going to be out of there element. There was a bunch of bugs at lunch but I didn’t experience anything that made it unplayable or that would make me restart and lose a bunch of progress. Everything that I experienced was things like cars falling from the sky and things loading in way too slow/last minute. I was disappointed there were bugs but I still was able to experience the campaign without being annoyed by the bugs. I thought the campaign was good but too short and didn’t expand on the world. Unlike the Witcher 3 this game story didn’t want you to stick around and experience the little things. I was also disappointed in the graphics. Overall, it's not as bad as people say but still has it's issues.

    Played first after the 1.5 patch, and I think it is a great game. The story is really great and pulls you right in, very immersive. It’s sad that probably a lot of people won’t give it a chance after the awful launch. Honestly, it became one of my favourite games of all time.

    The gameplay is actually pretty fun. You can solve missions in a variety of ways either stealth or guns blazing. Character leveling is really well done. Between abilities, perks and attributes there is a lot of room for crafting a character that fits your play style and once you really start getting a lot of perks you feel your character getting much more powerful.

    The challenge is the game is so glitched. Graphics are somewhat improved with patch 1.05 however some items remain blurry beyond recognition. NPC's are terrible. Traffic will not render. Cars simply disappear after starring at them for a bit like a mirage. I'm attempting to finish all side quests but I'm pretty sure a couple of mine are bugged which will prevent me from getting the platinum trophy.

    I'm having fun despite the near game breaking bugs but even without the bugs there is nothing here that hasn't been done before and better. Game is reminiscent of Fallout or Borderlands.

    Well, if the game was playable that rating would br much higher. The game looks like absolute rubbish on PS4, if you played a game with ultra low graphic mode on your old pc you will understand what I am saying. Edit: The game looks so much better at 1.05 and I finished main story/ most of the side quests. The game is good, It's not a RDR2 but it is a really good game except being a short game.

Secondly what does Cyberpunk truly do that is so ambitious? Multiple avenues of approach? Several games do that. Multiple endings? Again many games do that! Large open world?

    Cyberpunk is riddled with bugs. From textures not loading in for several seconds, characters faces not moving while talking (and people had the nerve to mock ME: Andromeda over this), characters in T Poses, and inanimate objects killing the main character. And the framerate is horrendous. Unplayable at times.

    And the graphics? Certainly do not match the several showcases,, not even on a High End PC build.. Complete false advertisement! The resolution is horrible, sub full HD in the era of 2160P. To say that I look forward to the free PS5 "upgrade" would be a lie. It is obviously at least 6 months away with the current state of the PS4 (Pro), Xbox One (X), and even PC, it's unlikely that it will be impressive. It's obvious that just the currently released Cyberpunk 2077 needed another 6 months. Let alone 3 different next gen versions

    Gameplay: Here is the issue, the gameplay at its core is great with good loot and crafting, solid combat and fun missions. Problem is, the glitches. I have missions that don't close, people who won't give rewards, waypoints failing to populate and retries as enemies disappear into scenery making them inaccessible.
    Overall, I loved the story but it was ruined by simply being too broken to be fun to play. Heck, I had to restart the epilogue section twice as voices and text kept skipping! Disappointing to play but I have been left with a deep sense of satisfaction over the story.

    If there was a game release that could embody the overall vibe of 2020, it would have to be, without a doubt, Cyberpunk 2077.

    Without question, Cyberpunk 2077 was easily the most anticipated game of this year and despite 8 years of development, several delays, and eleventh hour crunch time, many gamers trusted that these issues would be a small price to pay and that, on the basis of CD Projekt Red's calibre as a game developer, would invariably prove to be worth the wait. Sadly, everyone who waited eagerly for the "next generation of open world games" (to quote the pre-release gameplay trailer) were proven impossibly wrong.

    For all intents and purposes, Cyberpunk 2077 (on console) is not the game we were promised by CDPR - it is by far the most divisive game launch in recent history. After the overwhelmingly successful launch of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (my review for which is seriously overdue), CDPR garnered a significant boost to their reputation and the confidence in their next game release became unshakeable. That is why their decision to launch a buggy, unfinished, unpolished game remains unfathomable and in one sweeping motion, CDPR have effectively eroded not only their reputation, but also the trust they have carefully built from the ground up with their established and potential fanbase.

    I remember getting the game on launch day, taking it home, then excitedly waiting for approximately half an hour while it loaded. Once it had finished installing, I could not believe that I was about to play something that I had patiently waited for for 2 years(!). The first hammer blow struck when I saw the character model in the pre-game character creator, but I thought that it was a minor hitch - not realising that it was a precursor of things to come. It was when I began exploring the auto-repair workshop (I chose the Nomad lifepath) that I realised that not everything was the way it should be - the graphics were worse than Fallout 4, a game that was released more than 5 years earlier. Not only that, but the technical performance was the worst I had ever experienced in a PS4 game - blurry, muddled textures, significant amounts of assets popping in or slowly appearing, a weird shadowing effect behind fast moving objects - most notably my car, and a long laundry list of other issues that I simply would have never expected from this game considering all the hype. And this was before I reached the city. Once I finished the prologue and reached the fabled Night City, Cyberpunk 2077 sank to new lows. For all the beauty that the promos had shown, my first experiences in Night City were all viewed through an ugly lens, making the game unbearable to look at and almost just as unbearable to play.

    This of course is a real shame because the funny thing is that Cyberpunk 2077 is actually a great game. Beneath the myriad plethora of issues there is a hint of what CDPR promised. Weirdly enough, I spent nearly 20 hours playing Cyberpunk 2077 and I (genuinely) had a relatively good time. But I cannot deny that the PS4 version of Cyberpunk 2077 is not the best way to experience this brilliant game.

    Much like 2020, Cyberpunk 2077 was a promise of great things to come, but was unfortunately subverted by circumstances that no-one could have anticipated. It is immeasurably disappointing that Cyberpunk 2077 (a.k.a. Cyberjunk 2077) is regarded as CD Projekt Red's fall from grace instead of being the studio's finest hour.

    The truth is, I didn't just want this game: I wanted to love this game. Unfortunately in it's current state, it would be very irresponsible of me to recommend this game, even though there's a small part of me that wants to continue playing it. It's that small part of me that can see Cyberpunk 2077's true potential and gives me hope that someday - hopefully soon - I'll be able to play it in all its glory and experience it the way it is meant to be experienced. I still have faith that CD Projekt Red can right this wrong and deliver what they promised. That way they can atone and be forgiven by their fans.

    To conclude this review, I'll say this: Much like 2021, the next gen console versions for Cyberpunk 2077 can't come soon enough.

    Within the first couple hours of gameplay, I have experienced broken animations, enemies teleporting around the map, overlapping dialogue, UI elements that don’t appear or disappear when they should, quest objectives that don’t complete properly and require a reload, system crashes, objects and characters that do not render properly or are completely invisible, and more.

    Putting aside from a moment the frequent bugginess, other elements of the game’s world frequently pulled me out of the experience, from ultra low resolution textures, to the clunky controls. I often found myself having to mash on buttons again and again before a function such as calling an elevator or changing the radio station would register.

    Exploring Night City has its ups and downs. Ignoring the pop-in, and the low resolution models and textures, the aesthetics of the city are very nice; sometimes a bit uninspired, but usually quite slick. Unfortunately, I was surprised by how little there is to do in the city, at least in the time I have spent with the game so far. The vast majority of civilians are intractable, spouting odd remarks when prompted, or not saying anything or reacting to the player, V, at all. The number of NPCs serving as merchants or sidequest givers are extremely few and far between. Given this is an RPG and not an openworld sandbox like GTA, I didn’t expect the world from the player interactions with the city, but compared to another open world RPG: Fallout 4, Night City feels lifeless, and I feel like that’s saying something considering the world of Fallout is literally a barren wasteland.

    The combat is serviceable as well as the story. It is going places that feels like it could be interesting, and a good number of the characters are enjoyable. The frequent load times between some of the cutscenes didn’t help my enjoyment of the story, but compared to everything else, that is a minor nitpick.

    Overall, there is a lot of potential, but with so many elements of the game being abysmal to mediocre, I can not at this time give Cyberpunk 2077 more than an average score.

    Compared to the Witcher 3, this game is just not very fun or immersive to play. Characters are boring, story is uninteresting and you have no choices in the outcome of anything.

    It reminds me a bit of Fallout 4, only that game knew how to make an engaging open world and exploring was actually fun and rewarding. Combat was better, dialogue wasn't overelaborate and quests were though

    It reminds me a bit of Fallout 4, only that game knew how to make an engaging open world and exploring was actually fun and rewarding. Combat was better, dialogue wasn't overelaborate and quests were though mediocre, not that much of a drag on the experience as this...
    Also Witcher 3 had great camera angles in dialogue sections that really helped you engage with the story. Cyberpunk doesn't have this: you just look in first person all the time and never see your character. The dialogue is also nowhere near as interesting as in the witcher. I'm 20 hours in and haven't done any interesting quest. In the witcher I was constantly wondering what kind of interesting quest the game would offer me. In Cyberpunk I select a quest and pray to god:"please let this be something that's not boring."

    I have stopped playing now as the main story has been such an overtalkative letdown and the sidequests have just been really shallow. In terms of bugs it isn't really bothering me on my ps4 pro. 30 fps isn't desireable during gunfights, but that is expected from a ps4 in an open world game. If I had a standard ps4 though I would not have tried playing this. Next up, everybody in this world treats me like **** My only two replies my character can give to this is 1. Be an **** back and say **** off" or 2. Be a weak **** and react over-emotional. Where is my Geralt? Who never overreacted, but made calculated choices. Who was respected for his wisdom or by his feared reputation. And if npcs were disrespectfull I could kill them, but there would again be consequences. In Cyberpunk there is no nuance, but it's just a tape that needs to roll and I need to listen. No one gives a damn about my character and I have no impact on the outcome.

    This game is just as linear as GTA V, and has worse combat worse exploration and is less polished than Fallout 4. It has been the biggest letdown of a game ever to me and is unrecognizable when compared to the quality of the witcher. It's like comparing the Hobbit to Lord of the Rings.

    Everyone's experiences with Cyberpunk 2077 have been different, flavored by their expectations and firmly held beliefs. My time spent in Night City has been, in a word, stellar.

My time spent in Night City has been, in a word, stellar. Sure, the occasional crashes, bugs, and frame-rate drops grew tedious, but nothing stole from my immense enjoyment of the game. If this is but a taste of what CD Projekt Red have in store for us as a growing developer, then I think everyone had better settle down. I guarantee CD Projekt Red will tamper with this game until it's perfect. I may not agree with the developer on several philosophical notes, but they are a hard-working game studio that puts out quality content.

    Some notes:

    A few game systems are completely superfluous. I never engaged the crafting system during my playthrough.

    The writing was hit and miss. All the "uhms," "errs," and "uhhs" used to recreate ordinary speech patterns only highlighted the weak dialogue. It surprised me to find typos in a few shards. Over-reliance on shock to carry narratives sometimes weakened the stories. So many characters committed suicide that it quickly became melodramatic. Touchy subject matter is best given its proper due, not only to respect those with close personal experiences, but to give the material weight. This juvenile tendency also jumped out in the preponderance of sex-related humor. Granted (as relayed to us by The Exploited) the punk aesthetic nurses sex and violence, the game tried so hard to be "adult" that it veered right back into juvenile. All that said, many of the stories were well-crafted with engaging characters, and they explored gritty subject matter many games avoid. Uncovering the dirty underbelly below the neon lights is key to the cyberpunk ethos. This the writers nailed.

    Don't let the bad reviews scare you: This is a quality game, and if you can stomach Bethesda's buggy titles, this one will easily blow you away. As of now, it's a 7 due to the myriad technical issues plaguing the last-gen console version.

    Really not worth playing on PS4, it's a game with great potential and some interesting mechanics but ultimately hamstrung by technical difficulties.

    So at this point everyone knows all about the botched launch of cyberpunk - which is actually a huge shame because behind all of the bugs is a pretty great game.

I'm playing on a PS5 so I have it a little better than those trying on the ps4, and although there are still bugs and an occasional crash, the game is already much better than what it was on launch day due to multiple patches they have put out.

    Really, CDPR was pressured by investors, executives, and yes even its FANS to put out an unfinished game. This doesn't free them from their responsibility or errors, but what do you expect when everyone continues to push push push for a AAA game to be put out immediately. The main storyline of this game isn't super long but the game itself is EXPANSIVE. The details in the city, the options, the sidequests, the gigs, etc. I think that the story of the game is great, the voice acting is great, the graphics on the PS5 are great. Once the bugs are worked out and CDPR has a chance to actually FINISH it I think this would be an award winning game and probably a 9 or 10 in my mind. So its sad that its history will forever be marred by the messed up launch.

    So if you have a PS5 or are on a PC I think the game is pretty solid and I have enjoyed it a ton. Playing the game is actually a blast when you get through a stretch with no bugs. I've went through 2 endings already and I'm starting a fresh play through with a different character background and the story is already very different then the one I started. So the potential is there to put hundreds of hours into this game.

    So I very much look forward to CDPR polishing this up, providing some free DLC to make up for their mistakes, and putting out an updated PS5 version in 2021

    In love with the art direction, narrative, and characters, but all of these things deserve a finished product.

On a PS4 Pro, my experience is just short of working properly, but there are so many framerate dips and crashes just about every 3-4 hours of gameplay. Texture pop-in and disappointing NPC crowds constantly break immersion. A handful of button inputs feel floaty or simply won't cooperate. The game is far less engaging when I have to play cautiously for fear of it crashing.

    I could not care less how old the hardware is. If you sell it on console, it must be playable on console. I haven't crashed yet on the 1.1 patch, but the framerate issues and glitches are just as present as before. This was said to be the first major fix, and it feels just as insignificant as small as the previous ones. I can commend the efforts to fix the game, and can even accept that the process may potentially take an entire year, but the continuing lack of honesty is baffling. My experience has been better than others, but I'm still deeply disappointed with the mess. I'm left with a gamble on whether to continue playing with what's there, or wait and hope that sometime later the game will actually improve.

    Glitches can be expected with any release, but CD Projekt Red willingly deceived players into what's essentially an early access game/ beta. I'm pretty sure that I would adore this game in a finished state, I definitely enjoyed the less intensive story missions that run just fine, but a release this terrible has soured my opinion on this company. I'm sticking around to see this one through (mostly because Best Buy wouldn't reimburse my birthday coupon if I refunded), but I'll be skipping out on any future projects from this studio, at least not until they've been properly reviewed and tested by others.

    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.
