    Good things:

    Great detailed city with a dark atmosphere Good written story with interesting side quest and easter eggs Bad things: Worst controller aim assist The driving mechanics could be much better (gear shifting audio is broken) No customization options (for V and his properties) Bad NPC and Police AI (you know what they can and CANT do) ---> even old games like gta san
    Good things:

    Great detailed city with a dark atmosphere
    Good written story with interesting side quest and easter eggs

    Bad things:

    Worst controller aim assist
    The driving mechanics could be much better (gear shifting audio is broken)
    No customization options (for V and his properties)
    Bad NPC and Police AI (you know what they can and CANT do)
    ---> even old games like gta san andreas and saints row have much better AI
    Lack of performance and the graphics are like you rubbed your monitor with a wet cloth
    Many bugs and glitches (lots of them are game breaking)
    Game is constantly crashing
    Many artifacts of the development state of the game, like the unfinished subway system and the police chasing bug. Shows that the game was pushed to released in a very unaccabtable state.

    All in all Night City is a dead city were the bugs feel more alive then the inhabits theirself.
    Greatest disappointment of the year especially because the game was advertised as a next gen open world were you can be who you are and have endless possibilities. I dont even understand the metacritic for the PC version... OK the graphics are better and the performance too but CDPR didnt delivered the immersive experience everyone was hyped uped about until the end of 2020.

    PS: CDPR's managers done a great job in scamming the whole console community and using our hopes and enthusiasm for their own interest of money. Epologies wont be excepted they knew what they were doing... 2020 worst year in my live UNTIL NOW

    Do yourself a favor and don’t buy this game. It doesn’t worth our time at all. The game is broken as hell, has the most stupid AI ever, outdated graphics, very week and old game mechanics. A total mess and complete disaster. Did I mention the game has no new idea whatsoever?
    I have to confess I played only about 7 hours, but these are 7 hours I will never get back...

    Maybe after few updates I will try again, but to be realistic, they would have to build this game to the ground again to fix most issues and we know this won’t happen.
    Please do yourself a favor and avoid this game at all cost. Even if it was for free on PlayStation Plus it would be hard to recommend it. That’s how bad this game is

    One of the worst triple AAA titles I've ever played on any platform. The story and characters are ok or good or whatever, game play is interesting, system well implemented... But it's just unplayable most of the time, let's hope big patches solve most of the problems since it could be a pretty good game as in PC

    I can't speak for everyone's experience, and I understand why many people are displeased with the games performance. Yet, I can only speak for my own experience with the game.

    The game is a buggy mess, and it is obvious it needed to be delayed for another 4-5 months. I honestly feel corporate was scared to push the game to the fiscal year, and overestimated their developers could pushout during the pandemic. I play on a base PS4 yet I'm lucky that I have two bugs, pop-in (not a deal breaker for me) and crashes(highly annoying especially the moment after defeating the final boss of the game).

    However, I believe that the game has the potential to be one of the best masterpieces in a long time. I really appreciate the narrative of the game. I understand many are displeased with it, but again I am testifying to my own experience with the game. From the choices and dialogue choices I made, the story of the game ensnared me into its narrative web. I feel the characters are well written with their own motivations that might not make since to the other characters, but I can see why they act the way they do. I appreciate the relationships that the game forms. The one I appreciate the most is V's and Johnny Silverhand's. How I personally played the game their is so much growth between these two characters, and I actually thought Keanu Reeves did a good job playing Johnny. Depending on what games come out this year I do actually believe that Keanu and the voice actors that played Rogue and Male V could be nominated for game of the year awards.

    Gameplay is what comes next for me. I really do like the combat of the game. You start off awkward and clunky. This is slowly overcome as you progress through the game. As you level up throughout the game the skills will feel more natural. Driving is the same way. The first vehicles are awful, and it is easy to blame poor game design for this. However, it driving gets much better as you attain better vehicles. Also an important thing to remember is that not to mash down on the acceleration. Of course you aren't going to make a 90 degree turn going over 120 mph. The Ai of the game is pretty hit or miss for me. I have ridden with npc that have demolished other cars and run over pedestrians that didn't get out the way. During combat, some enemies are incredibly dumb and just stand there. However, some will actually take cover. And once every blue moon, I will be surprised as an enemy runs around a block or into a build only to come from behind to flush me out of where I'm camping. Or even just straight up rush me to force me out of my cover.

    Overall, I give the game an 8/10 for a strong narrative, amazing characters, and engaging gameplay. I can't give the game a 10/10 because of the bugs that can interfere and detract from the game. I feel that future dlc's and patches will further improve the game, and at that time, I will be happily give the game a higher score. Again this my own opinion of the game I encourage y'all to play the game and form your own.

If they own up to their mistakes it’s going to take more than updates in Jan and Feb which they said would fix the game. This game needs another 6 months to fix the problems maybe even a year.

    Having perservered to the end credits, I can honestly say this game is very poor. "The generations crowning achievement" is unremarkable in gameplay, story and open world, none of which stand out compared to the dozens of other high quality games released in 2020. How many standard fps shooters do we really need in the industry? Well here's one more for the pile.

    The games many promised

How many standard fps shooters do we really need in the industry? Well here's one more for the pile.

    The games many promised features are simply not present at launch, and together with many glitches and bugs, and poor sound design (complete silence for many sound effects, even in main story missions) the game has released unfinished. My own experience had the game crash every 90 minutes, and a glitch caused the game to softlock every time i used my phone.

    The positives are the voice acting, Keanu Reeves and the soundtrack. The main story missions are fine but frankly the whole experience is soured by the feeling of being lied to by the developers and publishers.
    I do not reccomend a purchase of this game, however i feel like it's far too late for that advice, as the hype and false advertising surrounding release has meant very high sale numbers. This game leaves me with genuine feelings of sadness towards everyone involved, as its clear a lot of creative energy went into the project. I intend to refund the game, uninstall, return and then never think about it again. There are enough depressing things in the world without adding shoddy video games to the list.

It is clearly very badly optmised and QA was probably pushed to the limits to deliver it on time. It is clear as a sun shiny day that they opted to focus on the high spec PC version. I have worked in the game industry and there is no way in hell that the bosses were not advised against releasing the game in the buggy sloppy state it is in. But money speaks louder and they were pressured to release it anyway. However, it is even more concerning the fact that the game itself feels extremely dated. Many other games do a much better job than this one. Even older games such as Deus Ex are better games overall (balancing graphics, game play, and pure and simple enjoyment) than CP77. So, I don't think this will be a very pleasurable game to play if you are used to high quality games such as Ubisofts AC series. Even WD Legion is more enjoyable overall and has a similar edgy futuristic feel. Perhaps I am being too harsh on CP77. Since I couldn't even play more than 3 hours of the game. But how could I? The missions system and maps are confusing. The lore is confusing, the game feels dated, the aiming and shooting system is awful and clunky. The way enemies and NPCs act is weird and artificial. The game in its current state has many problems that go beyond the mere bugs and graphics issues people are focusing on. (I was able to play for 3 h because I ran the ps4 version on PS5. Even so, the game crashed many times) Expand

    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)...

Como RPG este titulo es bueno pero con mucho trabajo que hacer en las consolas de antigua generación, como el juego que cambiaría la forma de hacer juegos, como el juego más importante, la verdad que no, es un juego que puedo decir que no hace nada extraordinario debido a que toma otros elementos de otros juegos que ya lo establecieron y a la vez una continuación de creación de niveles o desarrollo de personajes ya establecidos por ellos mismos en The Witcher 3, por lo que espero que se arregle este titulo y no quede en el olvido.

    Crashes every 30 mins even after numerous updates. Graphics are poor, game is filled with bugs which hinder progress and destroy immersion. Combat is clunky and horrendous. NPC AI is laughable. Night city is a huge let down, corners have been cut everywhere. Overall, a major let down and fail of a game.

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

    Does play quite well when you upgrade to SSD, but yeah - will still crash hourly, but it was intriguing enough for me to restart the game and keep on going.

    So what can I say. The setting, the art direction, the music and some characters are just awesome. Early story carries well, but it does get lost at the second half of the game and there was a point in my play-through where I just felt ... well ... nothing ... every character who was still around and every story-line that was still open just made me feel empty. I did keep on going, but I had this eerie feeling that the best part of the game was over and I was never proven wrong. The soul of the game packed its briefcases and waved goodbye and never came back.

    I'd say that the game does introduce interesting entertainment approach where you end up being more amused/engaged by the videos of the bugs that the game has than from actually playing the game.

    It was released too early and I'm quite sure that the person in charge was just trying to impress some higher-ups and is probably going to lose or already lost their job. My respect to every person in CDRP who fought against releasing the game in its current state knowing all too well that it needed a couple of extra years to be fully completed (I'm quite sure this goes to all the developers involved as I find it hard to believe that they were not aware that almost none of the aspects of the engine or game systems could be deemed to be stable).

    What makes me saddest of all is that the world created deserved so much richer, longer, colourful story than what we got. What happened? This is what you are left with: what happened.

    Looking forward to GDC post-mortem on this game years from now.

    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.
