    First, it should be noted I am playing on PS5 and have seen it on a high-end PC, so I dont have many of the issues that are plaguing some gamers. While I acknowledge there are bugs, this is my experience on PS5.

    This game has the foundation to be a masterpiece. Anyone citing combat, driving, or story as a reason for their negative review is lying. They can absolutely have a gripe about

    This game has the foundation to be a masterpiece. Anyone citing combat, driving, or story as a reason for their negative review is lying. They can absolutely have a gripe about the capability of this game with base PS4/Xbone. CDPR screwed up by not making this exclusive to next-gen and PC.

    Aside from that, if you have a PS pro, Xbox One X, PS5 or Highend PC, then this game is absolutely worth the current price of 49 bucks at many retailers. The gameplay is a blast, the story pulls you in, and no two side quests are exactly the same. This is very similar to RDR in that the side quests are a blast and they integrate into the broader story without the feeling of completely becoming undetected to the main story.

    The only issue I have seen on PS5 is after 2-3 hours of game play, I have experienced software crashes bringing me back to the home screen. No data loss as the game autosaves about every 90 seconds. CDPR hasnt given me reason to believe they wont fix these issues, but where they did screw up as previously mentioned was even allowing this title to be available on base current gen consoles (at least not without a HUGE warning).

    Great game, great framework for future DLC, murky attempt to stick the landing but they will get there. This is not a game that lacks ANY content (ie Fallout 76 / No Man Sky). it is there. If you have a base console, maybe wait a few months, but dont give up on this.

    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).

    Fernab von den ganzen technischen Problemen auf der Konsole ist es ein gelungener Rollenspiel Hit! Eine glaubwürdigere Open World hab ich so erst bei Rdr 2 gesehen. Story telling und inzinierung ist erstklassig, gunfight, hacking und combat sind abwechslungsreich gestaltet und versprechen das keine

    On my PS4 Pro it's been a 9 but on ther people's regular PS4's it's a 3. I'm sad that soooo many issues exist but I can say my experience has been great overall and I love the game. Yes it has issues but God damn its a good.

    Played on PS5:

    The beginning of the game is extremely slow and boring. I was really worried this game wouldn't live up to the hype and just be a dialogue fest. However, the game slowly picks up and the combat is pretty enjoyable. It has a good mix of SMG, AR, Pistols, and Melee weapons. The graphics are also very nice on PS5. Nothing too crazy but seeing the city is a sight to behold.

    Some problems with the game come from the story and the loot. There is way too much dialogue and way too much loot. It makes the game feel like it has no action aside from a few moments where you need to kill people. Another problem are the constant crashes that occur for no reason. Out of my 20 hours of playtime, I crashed about 10 times or more.

    Aside from all the negatives, I am addicted to this game. There is a lot to do and many missions to pursue. I understand that on PS4, this game is horrible. If you have a PS5, I highly recommend buying this game or at least waiting a few months for bug fixes. Do not skip on this game because it truly has something great to offer.

    The game is what I expected, it is big and complex. The enormous amount of choices and possibilities is sometimes even overwhelming, but in a positive sense. Gameplay is very enjoyable, shooting is almost perfect, and well combined with hacking can be a lot of fun. The graphics knock you on your knees. luckily I play PS4Pro and I don't know how it works on the basic version of the console.The game is what I expected, it is big and complex.

Unfortunately, the game also has a lot of bugs, which CDPR will eliminate over time, so you have to be patient. Overall, I consider it an almost perfect game that needs to be fixed a bit. I deduct one point for errors and technical problems, giving me a score of 9/10. people stop hating, it's not a 0/10 game, are you crazy? Expand

    A rich gaming experience with plenty of ways to discover and interact with a very interesting world. Well done CDPR. Runs fine on PS4 Pro. This review is assuming that the developers will fix any remaining issues and even enhance the game in some minor aspects, and history shows that they will.

    Just like the witcher 3 at its lunch, needs more fixing but I have faith is CDPR. The game overall is great and will be way more by time. Waiting for the PS5 version of it and I'm sure it'll be one of the greatest experiences I've ever had.

    I'm playing in PS4 second gen. Most of the painful glitches have been addressed.
    There's still a couple of them out there but in a nutshell this game is playable.
    I'm loving the story and gameplay although for the amount of time I was expecting something else. If you liked Deus Ex, you're going to love CP2077. - I'm hoping that CDPR will put as much effort going forward as Hello Games

    Played it on PS4. I love the game so far. I don’t mind the bugs, because the game is still fully playable and there’s nothing game breaking in terms of bugs.

    Apart from a few visual and non breaking bugs, the game is honestly great. The visuals, gameplay and immersion are all great and I've already managed to sink 60+ hours without even being halfway through the story. Definitely a game worth spending your time and money on!

    Having waited for quite some time for the bugs to be corrected, this game really picked itself up from the gutters. I found myself deeply immersed in the cyberpunk atmosphere and often forgot about my main mission because the side missions, stories and characters were so good.

    I would give 10/10 if not the problems with frame rate, mostly in the most iconic, beautiful and crowded spots in Night City. This is annoying especially that the world is designed so beautifully that the frame rate drops makes you distracted. The story, the characters and the fights are done great.

    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.

    I'm about 30 hours into the game and so far I'm loving it. Yes, there are performance issues on base consoles (luckily I play on p4 pro), yes, there are occasional bugs, crashes, framerate drops and the city sometimes feels empty, none of this has been game breaking for me yet.

    I'm about 30 hours into the game and so far I'm loving it. Yes, there are performance issues on base consoles (luckily I play on p4 pro), yes, there are occasional bugs, crashes, framerate drops and the city sometimes feels empty, none of this has been game breaking for me yet.

    The best thing about the game is writing. All characters are really different, dialogs are great, you do feel your decisions are making an impact (although still need to see how much - btw, in Witcher 3 there were only 5 or 6 decisions that actually affected storyline ending). Now I'm in position where I have 3 different main quests and by the look of things they all move the story to completely different directions, I'm super excited to explore them all.

    Another great thing is the city and the way how activities are laid out. You go to a side street and there is usually a new adventure and some reward waiting to be found - the game does reward exploration nicely. It's not about running around from one generic activity to another - all missions are pretty different and have good justification.

    Skills system also looks promising so far. With every attribute point I have to really think what to invest in, since all of them have their rewards. The system clearly supports a number of different builds allowing for completely different play styles. I went for a stealthy/hacking approach and I can see how perks selection is allowing me to do exactly what I want. Hacking is fun - like if you see a pair of enemies, you can deafen one via hacking and shot another without the first one noticing. I play on hard difficulty and all these skills actually matter - you can't just run around with a gun shooting enemies (at least, not with my Body attribute). I've read some complains about poor AI and haven't noticed much of that - they take cover, throw grenades, heal themselves and try to flank you just fine.

    What I don't enjoy as much is user interface. I feel they tried to make something that would work both with a mouse and with a gamepad and succeeded in neither. They could have used gamepad triggers/sticks for better access to filtering / sorting (or even grouping!). You get flooded in similarly-looking items, disassembling process is painful, modification UI is cumbersome. Hack options are just presented as a flat list and sometimes it's just not possible to pick up a particular item in the world. Also UI doesn't tell you everything - like, when abilities trigger (there are randomly triggered abilities which I hate) or how much of something you've picked up or gained. Or even what different hacking icons mean, or what level an item has. This is an RPG after all - a high level T-shirt can give a better armour than a low-level military vest.. Same with enemies - you wander into a wrong district and quickly realise that same enemies now kill you with a bullet or two, while your headshots are just a scratch for them, and there is no visual clue for that (maybe there'll be an implant for that later though).

    Craft feels a bit underwhelming so far - there is very little difference between common/uncommon weapons and their rare/epic equivalents, so far power bonus doesn't seem to be worth the hassle, hopefully the game will prove me wrong. The good thing though is that you can actually profit from craft, though the process feels like an in-game job (as it probably should)

    Driving is hilarious (in a bad way), collisions physics is super off and handling feels terrible. The first car is just impossible to drive, but actually there are better cars out there. I like how different cars feel differently on the road and after investing into a good ride I can finally reach my destination without crashing into every single obstacle on my way to it.

    Police's behaviour is somewhat concerning so far. They don't care about you as long as you're not killing other people - apparently there is no penalty for hijacking a car and you can crash into others all day long. Even when they do, they lose interest as soon as you turn around a corner. Also there is no concept of theft - you just come into people's houses and take everything you want, which kind of breaks the immersion a bit for me.

    It also feels like some parts of the game had been cut last moment - like there are crime scenes that are surely meant to be investigated with the Braindance interface (which is awesome), but I wasn't able to unlock these and haven't found any evidence they work yet.

    The game certainly looks raw, but despite issues it's a legitimately deep, engaging and enjoyable single player experience (without in-game store, microtransactions, daily events and activities designed to slow you down). I know community is furious about performance on base PS4, I haven't seen it myself but on Pro it runs ok. I just hope they'll be able to fix issues and get them out of this mess - the game itself is actually pretty good and does definitely deserve attention.

    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.
