    The plot is really addictive, but that's it. Despite all the hype that CD Projekt Red was driving with marketing, I tried to keep my expectations low, I knew some people would be disappointed, but I saw this group as people who don't quite understand that this is an RPG and I was making fun of them a bit. The joke's on me. I can get over the bad graphics but would like something in return.The plot is really addictive, but that's it. Despite all the hype that CD Projekt Red was driving with marketing, I tried to keep my expectations low, I knew some people would be disappointed, but I saw this group as people who don't quite understand that this is an RPG and I was making fun of them a bit. The joke's on me. I can get over the bad graphics but would like something in return. I get tons of bugs, non-loading textures, cars and pedestrians appearing out of nowhere, a world that is supposed to be open, but still everything is closed in it. Receiving calls, changing the camera mode in the vehicle, works randomly. And AI? Mother of God. The police chases are a joke (I don't know if anyone ever chased me). Car drivers? Stand a few centimeters on their track, they will stop and die of old age in their cars sooner than they will go around you. Behavior of NPCs? Tragic, hit one, all the rest within a dozen or so meters will crouch as one. Since everything is so poor, the world is so empty, what then makes the game perform so bad? This game broke me. I used to shut up all haters when they complained about the game before the premiere, but then I got my copy and I'm just sad. I kept hearing about immersion. How am I supposed to delve into this world when I am constantly torn from it with technical problems? The moment that was supposed to get me dragged into the plot was interrupted for me by a lot of loading screens, longer than individual sequences of a game, as a result I remember browsing the news on my smartphone, not the game. After many attempts, I put the game back on the shelf, I will not return it because I went through hell to get the game from Polish distribution in the country where I currently live on the day of its premiere and the fun of sending it back to Poland is not worth it. I just feel cheated and wish I hadn't spent my hard earned money on a product that is not finished, and even after fixes it probably won't be what it was meant to be. I could forgive that the game is not a breakthrough, that the mechanics are poorer than in much older games, if only the game worked as it was supposed to, today, on the wave of irritation, more and more disappointments are found. I don't get any explanations that the game works better on stronger platforms, I bought the game on one of the platforms offered by the developer and paid for it with real money, no excuses. Expand

    Constant bugs take you out of any semblance of immersion. The driving mechanics are terrible, the combat is "ok", the performance is terrible and the overall experience is forgettable.

    Do not buy this game is horrible. The story is dragged out a bit, and side quests are pretty good. However, this game crashed 46 times in my playthrough! There are so many technical issues. I also played on PC which is not much better. If you have the option to play on PC, play on PC, however, this game is mediocre even without the game-breaking bugs.

    On a PS5, this game has a fantastic storyline, great voice acting, and a brash, film noir environment that looks like a kicked-up version of Bladerunner. The cars, guns, cyberdecks, robots, and (of course) armored black trenchcoats all look and feel like they’re supposed to. THAT game warrants a 90% or better on Metacritic.

    On a PS4, none of that comes through. What users get instead of

What users get instead of that shimmering mirage is a stressful and unrelenting grind of drab problems and issues that seem to have been arbitrarily imposed from on high by soulless executives out to make a quick buck by exploiting the desires and desperation of the masses. THAT game is the one that’s been racking up the dismal 50% Metascore from critics and all the sub-3 ratings from users on this site. Both games are real, but not for everyone. Welcome to Night City, Choom.

I will the police are a joke in this game. They do not care about you and will attack you if you walk near them but I guess that makes sense to the story. But they also don't chase you for very long like in gta. The gunplay feels good. The driving is ok. And the music is I think my favorite thing in this game. The radio music and all the songs created for this game I love it. As a punk rock guy my self I'm not disappointed. I just wish there was a way to listen to the music on an in game ipod while your outside your car. Also something that suprised me was hacking. I never thought I'd be sneaking around hacking everything. I wanted to be a run and gun kind of player in this game. I haven't even put perk points into stealth yet I have put a little into cold blooded.

    There are so many things I want added in this game, like drinking and smoking animations whenever you want. Same goes for food. There's restaurant and bars but your taken to a menu to buy things and you can't just sit and eat like in story missions in this game. So I'm hoping in the future there more role play things that get added.

I think that Cyberpunks statement concerning refunds was as deceitful as their hiding the state of the game on consoles. I attempted to obtain a refund from Sony and of course they denied it as I had already downloaded it. I have attempted to contact CDProjektRed and have yet to hear back from them. I know they must be getting many emails but I have read recently information from their latest Investor call and now I believe they are not likely to follow through with their offer. I will amend my review if this changes, but for now I do not plan on supporting them in the future. They have burned that bridge..... Expand

    I have an extremely dated PS4 (the chonky boi) and I have had about a dozen weird glitches (t-posing/clipping/textures breaking) and about 5 crashes in the 40hrs I have already played. I am not sure how bad this is for others since I have experienced similar issues to a similar extent with so many other games... I assume that many upcoming next-gen consoles with old-gen counterparts are going to have the same issues and CDPR is bearing the brunt of this inevitable reality.
    Either way, Kudos to CDPR for stepping up, taking responsibility, and promising substantial changes to make the game perform as best as possible for all systems.

    - The game is extremely buggy.
    - The UI is horrible and unintuitive.
    - Customization is just bland. Nothing like the marketing.
    - What happen to vehicle and apartment customizations?
    - Many features were promised but never made it to the final release.
    - AI? What AI?
    - The game just didn’t look appealing to me. I like the aesthetic but the graphics look like PS2/PS3 graphics. It’s nothing close to what was showed awhile back.

    While some were able to get a refund, most are not having any luck. Sony will tell you to wait the the patch next year. People paid $60 for a finished game, not an unfinished broken mess.

    I just can't do it anymore. I play this game on PS5. I've played about 20 hours - mostly side missions. While it plays/looks a lot better than it does on the last-gen machines, I literally can't go more than 15-20 minutes without seeing some distracting bug/glitch in front of me or in the distance. In the past few days the game has crashed to the home screen at least 6 separate times.I just can't do it anymore. I play this game on PS5. I've played about 20 hours - mostly side missions.

In the past few days the game has crashed to the home screen at least 6 separate times. Once, I tried to play the game and got an error that my console couldn't start it for some reason. Had to delete it off the PS5 and reinstall it to fix that issue.

    Through all of this, I persisted to play through the game, because despite the endless parade of bugs, and glitches, at least it ran stable enough to enjoy it on the PS5. But for some reason, today when I started playing, I was driving around the city and I noticed muddy textures on the streets, buildings, etc. It was taking a few seconds for objects to fully load into the world. If I drove too fast, I'd fall through the street because it hadn't yet loaded.

    Then, I tried getting through one of the racing side jobs and kept going the wrong way because the waypoint arrows weren't loading on the track fast enough for my vehicle. I got so frustrated I shut the game down and said F this!

    I actually love the game, but I refuse to force myself through this marred experience any further. It's like watching a blurry cam bootleg of a movie you were dying to see - sure, you get to find out how the story plays out, but it's a garbled mess. I've decided to put this game on hiatus until they fix the problems on the PS4 version. I might even wait until they release the PS5 version proper.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game have a incredible storyline, good side quests, and well written characters.
    Game feels really "adult" . Violence, strong language, sex and many more.
    As for me, I really miss for games like this. I'm sick of "family friendly-like" games, were everything is soft, fluffy and almost innocent.

    Bugs, glitches? This is all FLEXIBLE with patches.

    So, after all this words, why not 10/10?
    Because, I have some issues. First for me, game feels like a little cut off content for some reason.
    And second, (that is my personal opinion) - it's will be grate to have a much more characters for romance.
    And more "realistic" relationship with your beloved one. Because, one cyber ronin already stole my heart =)

    It that means what need to be a little patient and wait a month or two for when the game will be fixed.

    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.
