    Cyberpunk 2077 for me is the whole package of what I want from a game like this. Great looking, great controls, great storyline and plenty of choices, content and replay value. This was marked as many players game of the year before it came out. Regardless of the outside noise, I didn’t suffer any game-breaking issues and only a couple of graphical glitches. I am not saying its perfect, but I am saying its wonderfully immersive and addictive. There is a lot here to be impressed with and when the Series X version is released and all the bugs are worked out I am sure more will agree how great this game actually is.

    It’s a gorgeous game with a gritty story; sometimes overwhelming or tiring, but nearly always beautiful. It might not reinvent the genre in every aspect, but for a fantastic story, an insanely detailed world, and brilliant dialogue, you’ve got to try it. The achievements will likely take you quite some time, mind: in over 30 hours of playtime, I unlocked six.

    Cyberpunk 2077 tested on Xbox Series X is a remarkable experience, although expectations were perhaps too high for the final result of the game which is not as perfect as we could have hoped.

    Overall, I think there’s a lot to like when it comes to Cyberpunk 2077, which has been unfortunately marred by poor performance issues on a number of platforms, and some poor communication (along with some overpromising) on the part of the publisher. It’s clear that a lot of work went into putting this game together, and it’s unfortunate that it had to release in a state that feels a little unfinished. It’s still a game you can very much derive enjoyment from, even in its current state but your ability to overlook open-world bugs and performance issues is certainly going to factor in quite a bit.

    Cyberpunk 2077 wasn’t optimized for last-gen consoles, and no amount of interesting side activities can remedy that. On PC, the world lives up to its title as the “City of Dreams.” For Xbox One and PlayStation 4 players, however, their time in Night City is likely a nightmare.
  6. The sad truth is that Cyberpunk 2077 is awash with problems. Which makes it all the more miraculous that we were compelled to plod through its litany of tribulations simply to keep experiencing the story, characters, and world that CDProjekt Red has created. Clear away the grit and there remains something special here that’s bound to light up the imaginations of cyberpunk fans. A better option for console players, however, would be to wait for the next-generation versions, which will likely (or should that be hopefully?) look and perform better, and could benefit from whatever retrofits and patches CDProjekt Red sees fit to release based on player feedback in the coming months.

    If the game remains relatively playable in its scripted sequences, with a few hiccups here and there, the exploration in the open world is often laborious, even sometimes unplayable. Textures that don't display or are runny, pronounced aliasing, low definition, overdue framerate, freezes, lagging interface, crash ... these Fat versions are a striking proof that Cyberpunk 2077 should have never been anything but a next-gen game.

Nothing game breaking from my experience and certainly hasn't taken away from my enjoyment.

    The game is fantastic and exactly what it was promised to be. Big, expansive, and SO MUCH to do!

    8 hours in and haven't even finished the Prologue. It's almost overwhelming their is just so much to this game.

    Firstly it's an RPG so do not buy this expecting GTA (Action/Adventure) do not expect COD (FPS) expect an RPG (Fallout) with decent driving and FPS.

    The shooting is much better then Fallout for example. And this is again with my stats low so I expect it will get better (as per normal RPG style)

    The world feels so natural, missions just happen, I mean no pressing "Y" to speak you get to the area and bam mission is already going. I have not seen any loading screen outside of fast travel and loading my save. I suspect elevators hide these alittle but again they feel very natural.

    If you like RPGs then I highly recommend getting this game!

    XBOX SERIES X IS THE WAY TO PLAY!!! Another excellent game from CD Projekt Red!!! This is RPG through and through, and the city is beautiful!XBOX SERIES X IS THE WAY TO PLAY!!! Another excellent game from CD Projekt Red!!! This is RPG through and through, and the city is beautiful! Love the characters, weapons, world, music, everything. Well, everything minus the bugs, lol. But the bugs have not ruined my experience whatosever. Some of them are quite funny.

    I don't really even feel bad for all the people who refused to upgrade to the ps4 pro or xbox one x, because they had SEVERAL opportunities and ample time to do so. And now that they are out of production, and the new consoles are very hard to get still, they are stuck with their crappy base consoles from 2014 and expect this game to actually run well on ancient hardware.....YIKES!!! I don't feel bad for them at all. I played this on my old X and it ran pretty well, but it runs at a beautiful 60fps on the series X without the future update even. Can't wait to see that.

When I finally got my preorder, I was hesitant and to be honest underwhelmed. I played about 2 hours worth and visual glitches were quite noticeable. It felt like I was just playing the E3 demo, again very underwhelming. It wasn't the visuals that bothered me, but more of the flow of the game. It didn't draw me in and the dialogue was alot... i just didn't like it. There wasn't enough casual play for me, the game didn't feel immersive. Maybe if the E3 demo wasn't the first 2 hours of the game? I ended up returning it, to be honest i think i was more excited about the cool stuff coming with the collectors edition than the game.

    Xbox One X, console that came out in 2017 can't handle 20 fps while shooting or driving. CDPR lied to the community telling it runs well onXbox One X, console that came out in 2017 can't handle 20 fps while shooting or driving. CDPR lied to the community telling it runs well on consoles, or that consoles were their priority and after day 1 patch it's a different game

    It's a disaster, it's almost unplayable now. There were multiple delays, each time they've mentioned "polishing and optimization" - well, they've failed. Just because it's not ea or ubisoft, some people are still trying to defend them. C'mon, it's a disaster and selling a limited Xbox One X is a scam.

    And I won't even talk about the textures as there were no expectations there. But c'mon, xbox one x can't run it in stable 30 fps. Disaster

    Im giving 1 point for history that I would like to experience but because of the performance, it's impossible.
