    the game is wonderful, interesting characters, history. graphics are secondary. there are bugs, but which game has no bugs at the start? it seems that the expectations for the game were too much inflated.

    Wszystko mi śmiga na 3080 i 5900x. Giera jest super. T-pose jest już kultowe i raz zabiły mnie śmieci kiedy się o nie potknąłem. Mi się podoba !

    A tak na poważnie to co wolicie ? Poważną fabułę z bugami - czy infantylną od Ubi... też z bugami... ?

    Great story and side quests . Cyberpunk didn't have the best launch but after patch 1.05 the game definitely looks great , hopefully cdpr will keep updating and fixing the bugs but the core of the game which is the story and the setting definitely are solid .

    This game is unplayable and downright insulting for PS4 owners. CDPR should be ashamed of themselves for even releasing this garbage they call a game to unsuspecting gamers all around the world. Please don't buy this game unless you have a very high end PC which obviously this game was made for.

    O jogo está terrível! Até jogando no PS5 ele apresenta inúmeros bugs, falta de textura e resolução ridícula. Por favor corrijam logo isso, vocês fizeram um trabalho incrível em TW3, mas este está simplesmente horrível.

    Also, CDPR went out of their way to hide this and tricked millions of people into buying this trash day one when by holding back reviewer footage and that is not acceptable. They lost all the good will they had from me and cahsed it in to sell this game. CDPR became Bethesda overnight. 0/10 in that regard.

    At the time of this review the game is getting torn apart for its buggy launch especially on base consoles. However for me even on a base PS4 it has been running pretty well, a few issues here and there but nothing worse than The Witcher 3 at launch.

    I have heard people claim that the fact a lot of the missions come through a text or call over the phone takes away from actually exploring the world yourself, and with that I severely disagree. So far it seems like it’s almost 50/50 between quests you get over the phone and quests you need to find, so if you want to travel the world ignorantly then there is still benefit to it, but I rather enjoy the fact that after I finish one mission I’m getting a call somewhere else intriguing me to go do that other thing. More than anything because of that this game is addictive, it’s like it always leaves you hanging on a cliffhanger. You just finished mowing down some bandits for the NCPD and then your friend calls you up to go commit some crime. I never want to put the controller down. This, and the intricate array of characters in the game are easily my two favorite parts of the game from a long list of strong qualities. I don’t understand why media outlets are pleading people not to play the game on base consoles. The bugs are there 100%, I recommend to please go in expecting that. But with how unique and interesting this game is, I can’t help but recommend it to anyone interested even with the bugs present.

    Playtime so far: 30 hours.

    On the weekend alone I ran up 16 hours in game, during those 16 hours, I counted a game crash almost every hour while I was travelling from location to location.

    Frustrated is an understatement, for a game in development for over 8 years, what has been released is below sub-par.

    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.

    It's a game that is not a bad experience. Overall fun.
    Now, after several updates, it seems to have good stability and can be played.
    I suggest you play on the new generation (PS5).

    Really enjoyed the first run on PS4Pro and now with the PS5 update and my second run it bring a whoie new dimension to the game. Absolutely love the graphical update. The cityscapes look amazing and the whole feel of the game is now much more realistic. Some minor bugs still exist but CDPR seem to be working really hard on getting this to be a the game we all hoped for.

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.

    So I went out and spent $79.00AUD on this game only to hear it's completely broken on the base PS4. This is disgusting, verging on illegal to sell something that isn't 'fit for purpose'.

I've lost faith in the developer and, to a degree, Sony for allowing this game to be released on the base models. - Big thanksSo I went out and spent $79.00AUD on this game only to hear it's completely broken on the base PS4.

    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 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 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.

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.

    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.
