    The game is a steaming turd, the only good points would be the story( when it works) and the soundtrack. Bad points? If your inventory is too full your game crashes, physics for everything is broken and pop in is s***. I will not be pre-ordering any more games from now on.

    Review based on PC version and played on a relatively high end setup.
    Graphics - 9/10 (some graphic glitches, but the city is very beautiful and accurately captures the gritty dystopian atmosphere of cyberpunk and meets my expectations of a modern game. I heard this game looks pretty bad on consoles but I can't personally speak to that, though that seems pretty obvious to me given the PC system requirements)

    Gameplay - 7/10 (AI can be a bit dumb and I really don't like how police just teleport behind you when you commit a crime, otherwise solid stealth/hacking/gear collecting/upgrading mechanics). Recommend playing on Hard or Very Hard to make up for the AI shortcomings.

    Story - 10/10 (story is a strong point both in the main quest and the side quests. You really empathise with the characters who are realistically flawed and motivated by realistic goals/loyalties etc.)

    Replayability - 7/10 (Good for 3 replays IMO. There are 3 main playstyles - gun and hack combat, stealth and hacking with the expected hybrid possibilities in between). There are 7 endings but IMO it's more like 3 endings with 2 slight variations each and the secret ending which is mainly there for a challenge). Only thing that would increase replayability is if they let you 100% custom make a character rather than play as "V" who is a character with a set goal and motivation (i.e. to become a Night City mercenary legend). However this was probably necessary to tell the story of V rather than the story of a generic player so I understand these things are always a balance.

    Music/Soundtrack - 8/10 - Low key the second best aspect of the game. Perfect for setting the atmosphere of Cyberpunk. Some songs really pump you up for a mission and others make you kind of want to stop just to listen to them.

    Yeah, there is a lot of bugs, the optimisation also have big problems.
    But I can't say, that the game is bad. I can't say that all these screenshots with non-loaded textures and models of the NPC is common gameplay. No. I play over 80 hours, and I faced it about 15% of playing time. I understand why a lot of people is too negative, but the game isn't

    One thing I can say about problems of the CP2077 – this game makes me remember how is it, to play games on old-PC (I still remember how is it to play STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl with minimal graphic settings, low FPS, with lots of bugs, but despite this enjoy the game – that kind of memories).

    You can fix the technical problems, but if the game essence is kind of trash, it wouldn't help.

    I truly enjoy the Cyberpunk 2077. And I hope, that CD Project Red will make it better in nearest future.

Even with the latest hotfix (1.05) nothing seems fixed. I'll keep playing but I wouldn't recommend it in its present state, the game is broken. Too bad as my expectations were high for this one.

    In my opinion, the game turned out very good. Yes, the game has a number of problems, but in General, you can see the efforts of the developers, especially if you consider that this genre is new to them. As for the versions for the old generation consoles, in my opinion, there is a big fault of managers, PR Department and very dissatisfied users when they transferred the game.

Unfortunately there's lot of things that are missing from the game which would make way better experience. And that's the main reason why this game can't be higher than 7or8/10, at least for now.

    Male joytoy has disappeared among other glitches. Great concept, and obviously a lot of time went into development, but for an RPG fan there are limited relationship options, and not enough free play control like exploring the many buildings, buying real estate, traveling with your companion, etc. Could have been a 5, but falls way short.

    The side missions are just way better because you can get behind the character's easier and you know what your dealing with throughout the entire characters story.Im not saying a bump and a turn is a bad thing, but if you make a bump and a turn make sure your audience still says interested !!

    One more thing i want to add regarding the story is that we didn't pay for cyberpunk we paid for Keanu Reeves.Which is bloody misleading.The game delevopers spent more time idolizing Keanu more than focusing on V

    And the ending was just dissapointing regardless of which ending you get.

    In terms of driving, its gta 4 ( wayy more slippery though )
    Combat feels stiff like og modern warfare stiff

    Too many bugs and glitches

    And there are almost no side activities

    Wait for a 50% discount before you buy
    Trust me, your not missing anything P.S Just because its ps4 doesn't excuse it for looking bad, look at games like rdr 2 and tlou 2

    Overall im giving it a 6 because regardless of its issues and dead world there are still humorous times in the story and and the first half of the story i found rather impressive as well as the side missions.

I’m currently playing Witcher 3 and loving it. So, I was waiting for Cyberpunk for nearly 5 years, i love dystopian futures and science fiction stories and was really attracted to the idea of a corrupted futuristic city. So, with so much hype I bought the game on launch day and played it immediately. At first, I really liked the game, I really liked the world and despite some minor technical mistakes like fps drops and textures loading late, it was enjoyable at least. But after the introduction of Johnny Silverhand and Alt Cunningham, the game took an really uninteresting turn, the more i played, the more i lost my interest and after a total of nearly 25 hours of gameplay, I returned it. At one point, because of the bugs and all of the quality drops the game was in an state that was unplayable. I think that Cyberpunk had so much potential that was wasted in bad writing, plot holes and rushing the game’s release date all the time. If you’re an fan of futuristic stuff and the work of Phillip K. Dick, you will probably like this game due to it’s world and it’s story, but if you’re a person that played really good games like RDR2, Witcher 3, God Of War and Souls-like games, you will probably hate this game, it will feel like an really huge drop in quality after those games. In my opinion, this game is a waste of time, but if one of your friends has this and you want to check it out, do it that way and don’t buy the game if you want to try it. Expand

    On PlayStation 4, this game sucks a lot when it comes to bugs, frame rate, overall visual quality and lots of technical difficulties. But, underneath all this crap, there is a great story-driven RPG gem that made me ignore all the bad things about it, which will hopefully be patched overtime. I'm looking forward to play this game again on next-gen. I'm finishing it on PS4 for the story.

    2) It doesn't give me severe motion sickness like Fallout 4 did.

    3) The customisation is neat, but also kind of pointless since the only time we see our character is in the inventory or in mirrors that you have to interact with. It would be nice to have a third person option after they iron out the bugs. I also don't understand why we could customise our character's breasts and genitals, as there isn't much nudity in the game, V also showers with their clothes on.

    4) Getting to see the interior of the many different cars available in the game is fun and the driving isn't too bad compared to other games I've played, such as Watch Dogs.

    5) When live streaming it on the standard PS4, a friend who had been playing it on the PS5 had noticed I wasn't getting many enemies to deal with as she was, and when watching her live stream it on her PS5, I noticed there were more cars on the road. When I'm driving around I'll see a lot of cars in the distance, but when I get closer to them, they vanish. If I do see other cars on the road that are closer to me, they either drive really slow to the point that they're barely moving, or they will just randomly stop and not move at all.

    It's not a perfect game, but I'm enjoying it at the moment, which is why I'm not giving it a 10. There's still a lot that needs to be fixed and if they can save it like Hello Games did with No Man's Sky, maybe then I'll give it a higher score.

The storyline is fantastic, however there could be more choices during the story, rather than mainly at the end of the game. There's plenty to do, side quests, random events and the like, and they're all nicely unique, with a lot of lore surrounding them. I easily played 70 hours of this game before completing it for the first time.

    Something that will help; turn off HDR and some of the extra graphical options (like motion blur) from the game options. This will improve the performance greatly.
    Also, get your PS4 cleaned. That will make a difference to overheating and therefore performance.

    Would definitely recommend once the creases are ironed out. A much better game than most that have come out in the last 5 - 10 years.

Персонажи некоторые интересные, особенно женские. Из миссий самое интересное, по-моему, — это анализ брейндансов.

    If it were simple enough to sift through the mess of a state this game was released in, from over-promising and under-delivering to the undoubtedly deceptive marketing tactics of its developer, somewhere underneath it all you would find scattered pieces of a genuinely passionate and ambitious Cyberpunk product. Unfortunately, Cyberpunk 2077 has many deeper flaws that can't be addressedIf it were simple enough to sift through the mess of a state this game was released in, from over-promising and under-delivering to the undoubtedly deceptive marketing tactics of its developer, somewhere underneath it all you would find scattered pieces of a genuinely passionate and ambitious Cyberpunk product. Unfortunately, Cyberpunk 2077 has many deeper flaws that can't be addressed simply by optimizing the current game.

    In many ways, the term "futuristic GTA" is an apt description. Yet even a game from two decades ago such as Grand Theft Auto III has more of a persistent game world than the shockingly hollow Cyberpunk 2077 we received. There are no true long or short-term consequences to any action a player takes. Police, for example, forget about crimes just as quickly as they witness them. Meanwhile, Night City's various gangs and corporations have a neutral disposition toward V no matter how many of their numbers the player incapacitates or kills.

    Elements of this could possibly be explained away in the story (such as Victor's comment about Kiroshi optics), but the problem largely remains: In a dystopian world full of endless surveillance, it can feel deeply immersion-breaking when, outside of scripted story events, the player character is always viewed as a completely meaningless and neutral entity. And, again, these are deeper issues that can't be addressed with simple performance updates. It's ultimately ironic that so much focus was placed on a first-person perspective as a means of player immersion, yet the gameplay systems that should have supported this experience are underdeveloped if not completely forgotten.

    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.
