    I have spent about 15 hours in the game on a PS4 Pro and here is what i experienced.

    Performance/technical side

    ... is somewhat decent, framerate drops are rare since the 1.04 update, pop-ups as well, reflections and textures have been fixed. i would say the current state of visuals/performance is quite good. Only thing that still annoys me is the muddy, blurred overall look. On the other hand the game has lots of anyway dark/night passages, so i can get along with that well. Watch the comparison video here on meta and you will see what i mean. Loading times are a bit nerve wracking. All in all the technical-side doesn't cause much pain. That is on PS4 Pro, users of the base-model might have a different experience, to say the least. As for me i have not had any crashes or major glitches. 7/10

    Story & Characters

    ... are both well developed and written. Atmosphere is great, speaker-cast a blast. Even Side-Missions are very detailed and resourceful. A really authentic cyberpunk vibe fuels a feeling of being sucked in into a unique world you want to explore. 9/10

    Gameplay

    ... Menus and Item-management are well designed, character development is intuitive, meaningful and complex in a good way. Especially the cyberware-features are really unique. Steering seems a bit flawed at times. My cursors seems to be moving constantly. Not nice. Gun play and combat on the other hand fell really great and satisfying. 8/10

    My overall rating = 8/10
    I think that does the PS4(Pro)-Version justice.
    Cheers.

    Great game with huge focus on story, characters and world building. I dont remember last time when the rpg story absorbed me so much. Yes there are few bugs here are there (playing on ps4pro), but nothing gamebreaking. Usually minor visual glitches. If you like story RPGs this is simply game for you. If the small bugs bother you too much, then this will be a game for you after few updates.Great game with huge focus on story, characters and world building.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have over 150 hours into this game - I am loving it!!!! I am sickened by the publics treatment of CDPR, I play on a ps4 Pro and it isn't nearly as bad as all the whiney babies make it seem, buy it and enjoy it like me!! end of story - do not however listen to anyone who is complaining about it not running on 7+ year old consoles lol... Anyone with even a lick of intelligence and good taste can see that CDPR poured their hearts into this game., the effort SHOULD grant them many brownie points from anyone with a heart and good taste.. There were a few things promised that I hope they either add later(in a dlc or expansion, etc), or at least have good reasons for not including - like the DRONE you use during the heist, that little bugger was SUPPOSED to be available throughout the game. Which would have enabled V to be a "Rigger" character class type (a character class from the Shadowrun game universe, they control Drones with a Cyberware implant in their brains) it would have been awesome to have a bot that could go through vents and stuff and even take out a few enemies.. but alas its not included and I am not a cry baby, it is what it is, I didn't get drones but I got a sick game that I waited for, for many years and here it is! It was the best Christmas gift I got this year (from myself lol)

    However it may not play on base consoles very well (which is the risk YOU CHOOSE TO TAKE by not upgrading ancient systems lol)...

    I loved it. This game is just incredible, unfortunatly it has a few bugs that might be fixed in the next patch, and it has some graphic problems too. But I believe that it'll be all good good next month. I wish that all people had the same experience just like me.

    You see what you guys did now??? Now no one can buy this game for their PS4 anymore, it's GONE. I am very disappointed in all of you. Sure, crappy graphic happen few time, get better TV then? You ever think of that!? You're using a crappy outdated CRT TV with 240p. Why you using that TV huh for 8K game, HUH!? Such bullcrap

    I, like many a Playstation customer, was unable to get the PS5 so I played this on my PS4 Pro and was able to beat the main story in a 20 hour playthrough, to get an early ending(there are many endings to get so might as well do the quickest first) and I throughly enjoyed my time with the game, despite some awful bugs that keep this from being a 10.

The game never crashed for me in combat but it did crash 6 times in my first 9 hours. Everytime was weird but it seemed to make a quick save as it crashed and it never happened during the most fun parts of the game, which is the combat. I used a katana a lot and quick hacks and all the guns; not much of the cyber wire or mantis blades or what not, but it was a good time. I had some absurd issues with guns behaving like they had no ammo, when they did, but those bugs seemed tied to certain game areas or missions and never returned, so I assume they will get patched in the years to come. Until then, this is a legit fun game... I'm not going to pick Hades or Last of Us Part 2 over playing another 20 hours; I plan to go for all the endings with this game and will probably play 100 hours by the time I quit. Don't believe the anti-hype. Expand

    Played 40 hours, and I most say i really love this game. After a slow start, the game really shines. Ineresting characters and fascinating side quests are some of the key highlights in this game.

Every detail is worked out by hand and to the smallest detail. Apparently the developers were making a game of their dream. And how hard to leave this world every day for working or sleeping :)
    Update! 140 hours in game and platinum achivement. Awesome game. Wait for new updates and dlc.

    An inspired game that will capture you with its fascinating story and awesome characters.
    It has some technical flaws but only because of the pandemic's development problems.
    CD Project Red delivers patches to resolve those problems, so don't worry.
    This game is a MUST HAVE.

    Actually all games of ps3 era run exactly the same as this.lol. I am grateful that they did not cancel this version, despite the outdated hardware of console. since my PC is equipped with gtx 760, it is obvious that the game will not work correctly with this setup.

    Technical difficulties aside. Cyberpunk 2077 is very enjoyable game. Every Bladerunner, Ghost In The Shell fan will be at home there.
    You spend almost entire game trying to get rid of Johnny, but in the end it's the hardest thing to do.

    I was hyped to hell for this game, I own a ps4 pro and this is my personal reflection on this game after 50 hours of playing.

    People are whining about bugs in this game, and it is mostly worth criticising.

    What i found, was the bugs weren't an issue, I have experienced nothing breaking the game, just things plain funny or slightly inconvenient.

    My gripe is with the following:

    The car mechanics are terrible, the car damage is terrible, NPC seem to be zombies unless belonging to a gang or ncpd and the crashes...jesus christ on a bike. I think the game has crashed and gave me the blue screen at least 10 times.

    The stortline(s) are fantasyic, the story telling is what we are used to with CDPR, cant fault that, music and sound is incredible and the environment is stunning!

    Overall I am not dissappinted with the game AS A GAME, but slightly underwhelmed with the issues plaguing the technical side of the game.

    If you are playing on a PS4 pro I would recommend the game, it is great, however be expecting some bugs which can be slightly annoying, and crashes which will piss you off.

    If you have a base ps4, I havent played it on a base ps4 but I can imagine its not worth bothering with until you upgrade to a pro or ps5, or have a gaming PC.

    If you have a gaming PC just get it on there!

    Mostly, dont listen to the hate, it is a great game. Its definitely not a 3/10. Unless you have a base Ps4.

    Played on the PS4 Pro right on release. There were some noticeable bugs, but nothing that detracted from my enjoyment of the game. Quickly became one of my all time favorites, but I’d recommend waiting a month or two for some more major patches to come through. I have faith this game will be cleaned up and get the renown it deserves.

    Main story is amazing and major side quests were quite fun as well.

    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.
