When everything is going great cyberpunk is one of the best video games I've had the pleasure to play. An immersive story, fantastic world building and great characters. However outside of gigs and missions there isn't a huge amount to do in the oddly un-interactive world. NPCs are lifeless automatons. You can't play arcade games. You can't do street races. You can't steal cars for money. There's no "new game+" which is odd as even on hard mode I became god-like quite early on in my netrunner and katana playthroughs to the point where it became boring and unchallenging. There aren't any additional game modes like you get in other games (eg. multiplayer, survival, deathmatch, etc). I am hoping that the developer can work on this for future updates - if we had the same level of interactivity as what we have come to expect in games like GTA and watch dogs then this would be a world I'd be quite happy to stay in for a long time.

I'm not familiar with the heavily criticized initial version. The Cyberpunk 2077 I played is one of the most awesome, fully realized game worlds I've ever experienced this side of Bioshock Infinite. In a game filled with good characters, Night City is the best one. This game is like Deus Ex with very high production values and a subversive streak crossed with GTA 5. The look of the world is so fully realized stylistically, and embodies that sort of 80s sense of futuristic cool. I loved the main storyline. It's like a great Gibson or Richard Morgan novel. The theme of iconic legends from the past returning for one more stab at glory resonated with me.
    Characters are great, as interesting as Witcher 3. Each person on the street looks different. Missions are very well-designed. Replaying virtual experiences(BDs) is a really interesting evolution of the investigation scene.
    On the downside, even now the game is still pretty buggy. NPCs getting stuck in cars that flip over them. The car summon feature is a mess, and will summon cars into buildings. There are all sorts of weird cutscene/storyline jumps and mission questline bugs. I can only imagine how bad the game must have been initially.
    You sometimes have to hack shards of data to decrypt them. This involves scrolling down a long list of other shards to get to the encrypted ones. Really annoying. It's the lack of attention to detail in certain gameplay aspects that is juxtaposed so harshly with the quality of the story and world-building.
    The biggest personal annoyance for me is that the dialog fast-forward button and crouch button are the same, so whenever you're trying to stand up or duck you can end up skipping important conversation.
    Overall, I found the good to be well worth perservering through the bad. I also really like that CD Projekt tried to do something bold and original here. They could have just made a Witcher 4, but they swung for an epic open world Cyberpunk game, which hasn't been tried since Genesis Shadowrun as far as I can recall, and even if it didn't quite land, I support developers thinking big like this.

    All these crybabies giving cyberpunk 2077 zeros shows how entitled and being toxic has infiltrated gaming!!! And if they say otherwise it's because nothing is ever good enough for them. I love cdpr and even though they messed up with cyberpunk 2077 we need to remember how much work the teams put in to this game to fix it. Thanks cdpr for making things right and fixing you're game.

    + One of the best well written games I even played. deep characters, exciting story and interesting side quests.
    + beautiful environment. Nice details in materials and really good lighting.
    + Both sex and relations status is well made, not as cheesy as it usually are. Its made both fumbling and loving.
    + Super good animations, characters don't feel stiff.
    + I love the soundtrack!

    - to much loot that you stop caring. To many weapons, clothes and consumables. And in the end you still look like a cyberclown. I prefer how they did with assasins creed valhalla after AC: Odyssey. Fewer stuffs to collect that feels more important. Now when you find weapons they are just one step from getting sold. Could be more focus on the world and the fighting if less loot was dropped. Maybe just find loot that's be used for upgrading your favorite stuffs.
    - The different between Normal and Hard mode is to high. Would be nice with something in between.

    good game!

    The gameplay is improved, the driving is drastically improved, the overall experience on every front has been greatly improved... with the next gen patch.

    Its not perfect and there are still things that need to be addressed but for the first time, if you have a next gen console or a beefy PC, its finally worth trying out as its as close to a finished product as its ever been. And its pretty good.

    After hot fixes and major updates Cyberpunk is finally a game we can play (on next gen). You are doing yourself a disservice by not giving it a second chance.

    The story is good.
    The gameplay is Okaaaay.
    It still need a lot of thing to make it a 10/10, like transmog, more story, more cars and bikes.

    Yes, it has its mistakes and Bugs and stuff. But the most beloved games in history had these too. Yes, the marketing lied about the ps4 and xbo versions and yes this was just nasty. But the game itself was made with love and passion and you noticethis in every little detail. And every score under at least 8.5 is just a spit in the face of the people who worked on this massive project.

I experienced very few bugs (NPCs standing in the air, cars flipped upside down, some weird physics), but nothing game breaking or too distracting.

    I suppose people who liked the witcher 3 because of the way the story was told, and who are interested in a dystopian, sci-fi, cyberpunk world, and who put story over gameplay will enjoy it.

    I really liked the atmosphere of the world, I enjoyed the story and most of the side missions. I liked the voice acting, and the sound design. Though, I recall one side mission where the music was a bit annoying. Overall I was very positively surprised and would agree with the mostly positive reception by critics. Maybe all the negativity surrounding the game tempered my expectations. Anyway, I would love CD Project Red to release a PSVR2 version, even if it is just the most minimal adaptation with game pad control, just to walk through the world once more.

    Though, there are many things to criticise. Indoor graphics and graphics in confined areas look really good, but outdoor graphics felt often underwhelming to me. Also, cars disappear to nowhere in a rather visible way. The NPCs create a good enough backdrop but react rather unnatural to the player, and albeit offering the possibility for conversations, not a single conversation unrolls, if I recall correctly. Other games did better. The gameplay is not very challenging. In particular stealth felt a bit too easy, whereat "all guns blazing" felt a bit too punishing at times (single hit kills), but maybe that was due to my character build. In terms of character development, there are a few perks I would consider essential. The majority, however, did not seem very relevant. All in all unlocking perks did not feel too rewarding. Also, I don't think that there is any new game mechanics. As many people pointed out, most of the dialogue choices do not seem to matter. On one hand this is disappointing, on the other hand I was not very fond of seemingly, harmless dialogue choices in the witcher 3 at the very beginning, which severely impacted the story. In the end there is one story in particular, the author wants to tell. So, it makes sense to "force" the player on that particular path. There were a few dialogue choices which would reveal some extra information helpful for a mission. Maybe some of the choices would unlock information which are impossible to come by in a different way. I might have missed those. Maybe, I did not understand how to really play the game, but the game did a poor job to guide me through the missions i.e. discovering side missions and choosing side missions felt most of time unnatural. All in all there is a lot to criticise, but I was still hooked from the beginning till the end. I very much enjoyed the story (including side missions) and was not too bothered by all the issues.

    Off the top of my head I can’t think of another game with a backstory like Cyberpunk 2077. It’s fortunate that CDPR were able to spend the last year-plus continuing development of the game, listening to feedback, adding content, and fixing tons and tons of issues. Many games would simply not have gotten the extra time and money spent that Cyberpunk got, but this time CDPR got it right. Now is the right time to play this game; I’m not saying it’s flawless and perfect, but it’s nearly so, for such an elaborate, massive game. This is the game we were hoping for back in December 2020, but I’m reminded of the adage ‘better late than never.’ And that certainly applies here.

    Despite significant technical and in-play improvements for this PS5 version, much of the game’s core remains unchanged. Quest design and storytelling, though not without their moments on the critical path, too often feel rife with unrealised potential. Cyberpunk 2077’s abrasive personality is still clear as day too, inescapable in its script and blaring out from Night City’s many questionable billboards. If you choose to venture into Night City, we hope you find what you’re looking for. [Issue#12, p.72]

    Despite its mismanaged launch, Cyberpunk is a success story. What began in December 2020 as an incomplete, often-unplayable sore spot for CD Projekt has become one of the most immersive RPGs I’ve ever played – one whose visuals, soundtrack, and narrative can go toe to toe with the strongest in the genre. Despite Cyberpunk’s technical headaches, I’ve enjoyed more than 40 hours in it and don’t see myself losing interest in its rich world or side content anytime soon. Cyberpunk’s botched beginnings warranted the scorn players treated it with, but if patch 1.5 is any indication, Night City’s future looks bright.
