    I am reviewing the PS5 version aka the PS4 backwards compatible edition.

    Game is absolutely terrible. Not just speaking about bugs, technical issues, and constant crashing.. but the game itself is just not fun. Core mechanics do not work properly, typical sneak/tailing missions, artificial information gathering, false sense of choices mattering. It's simply a scam. The literally lied on

    At the time of writing this review, Sony has began offering full refunds and remove Cyberpunk from the store. Signaling the fact that CDPR lied, and betrayed all of its consumers. I will be getting my money back, unfortunately not my time. Do not buy this game now, or ever, for the simple fact that they only did what was necessary for sales.

    It goes without saying misleading dozens of gamers on the performance of a game is not a smart move.

    This is a true diamond of a game, with a few rough edges, there has already been a bug noticeable improvement from 1.03 to 1.04. it upsets me that gamers are so entitled these days, it seems to most games are either epic or trash nothing in-between, take from someone who has actually updated the game before playing and put more than 30 mins into it.

    Game crashes,even on ps4 pro frame rate can drop to 15 fps and they showed all the demos on PC,when they were making this game in 2013/2014/2015/2016/2017/2018/2019 there was no ps5 or xsx.

And they did even give people the beta version of the game even to reviewers that wont show it to the public. even if they had delayed the game to august 2021 and not have these bug,crashes,low resolution textures,low frame rates i think i would have liked that better.

Its just so nasty on top of the bugs and idiot A.I and spawning cops that its nearly unplayable! The main story is good and gunplay is nice but the city is a little messy. Its hard to navigate and its not really interesting. I wish the game game had better ideas instead of a in your face filth approach. Go back and make a new game! Expand

    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. Sure, the occasional crashes, bugs, and frame-rate drops grew tedious, but nothing stole from my immense enjoyment of the game.

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.

    Had the game glitch once or twice. Running it on a PS4 Pro. Other than that the game plays great. Think a lot of the poor reviews are a bit hasty. Give CD Projeck Red some time. The game is huge and will soon be running even better.

    I'm on a base PS4. 1.04 improved things but the scripting that progresses most side stories is broken. It's no exaggeration to call this release worse than Fallout 76.

    I honestly enjoy the game a lot on playstation 4 granted yes it's extremely buggy, yes it's hard to play the game without the crashes, the pressure was on for CDPR on this game the world over hyped it, but because of the over hyping it was going to financially fail.

Don’t help CDPR with their request of keeping the game on the promise they will make it better. They are winning if you do that, earning interest off of your money. Force them to make it better to earn your money back. They’ve had 8 years to make this game better. Gamers shouldn’t stand for this kind of manipulation. Imagine if you pre ordered an iPhone and 60% of the features they talked about and advertised were missing. There’s no difference at all between that and a digital purchase. A company should not be able to get away with deceptive marketing and outright lies about their product. If we allow them to do so, they will continue to do so. Money talks. Expand

    The game is unfinished. Plain and simple. Easily needs another year of development and even then it'd probably just fix the gamebreaking bugs/glitches. The game itself is still bad. The gameplay is tedious, uninteresting and, frankly, horrible. The only redeeming factor seemed to be spectaring the world they built, but that world is not in any way engaging.

    Although I am experiencing less problems with the game than some of my friends since I’m playing on a PS5, the game still frequently crashes and has numerous bugs that are completely unacceptable. NPCs walk through objects, blip in and out of the game like they’re traveling through dimensions, and anytime I go to ride my motorcycle, I see my character load followed by all of his clothesAlthough I am experiencing less problems with the game than some of my friends since I’m playing on a PS5, the game still frequently crashes and has numerous bugs that are completely unacceptable. NPCs walk through objects, blip in and out of the game like they’re traveling through dimensions, and anytime I go to ride my motorcycle, I see my character load followed by all of his clothes popping out of thin air.

    The gameplay itself is nothing to brag about either. The idea that your choices would significantly impact events was overly hyped. Starting as a Nomad, for example, I’m occasionally given some additional dialog options based on that, but they don’t actually push the conversation forward. No matter what, I still have to select the single yellow line of text that allows for the prescripted event to keep flowing. If you wanna play an FPS RPG for the PS4, you seem better off playing something like Fallout 4 or The Outer Worlds.

    Other systems that were implemented also drastically fail to meet their mark. The wanted system for committing crimes is a cheap knock off of the system in GTA that doesn’t even work right. Police will literally magically appear behind you, even if there’s nowhere for them to come from, so either the NCPD are all equipped with teleporters and tracking devices, or that’s not right.

    Additionally, NPCs all act exactly the same way to everything. If you fire a gun, be prepared to see every single NPC cowering in fear, even if they weren’t in an area nearby you when there was shooting. If you try to stop a crime that’s occurring where people are around, even after killing the criminals and putting your gun away, they won’t change their pose either.

    You could literally go on and on about all of the issues this game has and still point out more. In its current state, I would give it a 6 or 7/10, but with all the bugs, I’m giving it a 4. Save yourself the time, and play something else. I’m personally shelving it, and I’ll wait to see if they make improvements. If they do, I’ll give it another try.

Look folks, this is huge step back, maybe I will forgive CDPR if this game will cost 50% less on consoles and maybe after this move I will buy their next games, but as for now, this game cost too much on consoles, the price is bigger than on PC in times, especially when we talking about regional price, but PC have decent graphics and less bugs. I guess this is time when CDPR should create next titles on consoles first, and then port them on other platforms, like other studios did last 18+ years. Expand

    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.
