    Having now played this game on the Xbox One and the Xbox Series X, I can confidently state that there is certainly value in playing the game on the Xbox One. The story remains incredible, the gunplay is largely serviceable, and I experienced ~3 crashes in about 25 hours on Xbox One. Based on the reviews and the refund offers that I saw initially, I expected this game to literally sit inertHaving now played this game on the Xbox One and the Xbox Series X, I can confidently state that there is certainly value in playing the game on the Xbox One. The story remains incredible, the gunplay is largely serviceable, and I experienced ~3 crashes in about 25 hours on Xbox One. Based on the reviews and the refund offers that I saw initially, I expected this game to literally sit inert in the disk drive and simply fail to do literally anything at all. Perhaps burst into flames. Happily, that is not the case. It does generally play. It is clear immediately that the Xbox One is pushed far beyond its technical capacity where graphics are concerned. The texture pop-in starts in the character creator and never slows down. It is sometimes distracting, and sometimes not.

    Switching to Xbox Series X was an entirely different experience. While I had largely enjoyed the experience on Xbox One despite the limitations, the game feels entirely different on a more capable machine. Details that are clear on Series X were indecipherable on X1. For example, in playing on Series X, it's clear that Viktor, a ripper doc you meet early in the game, was a former boxer, as you can see from his various trophies relating to boxing that adorn his desk and the fact that he is watching a boxing match on his monitor when you first interact with him. I missed that entirely on the X1, because the graphical limitations are so severe that you cannot see either the trophies or what is on his monitor. That type of difference in experience- from being able to read the graffiti in the elevators to seeing the stickers on surfaces- creates a different experience of the world as a whole. You don't truly ever see Night City on X1.

    All that said, the blowback that CDPR has received from this seems overstated to me. Yes, they were victims of the hype they created in their development cycle that seemed to be set on a geological time scale. But had this game come out in 2016, its critical reception would have been largely favorable. It remains a combination of The Witcher, Far Cry, and Mass Effect, and even in poor resolution, it was awfully fun to play. Having experienced the game on next gen, there's no earthly way I could justify trying to obtain a refund for the game. There are elements here missing- the bizarre lack of driving AI and the equally bizarre police system are obvious deficiencies- but the game is still one of the most creative, beautifully told stories and modes of storytelling I've ever experienced. Much of what made the Witcher 3 so fantastic was how excellently it undermined your expectations of how the story would unfold, and how willing it was to use its mission system to have you experience what it wanted Geralt to experience. That is not only replicated, but improved upon in stunningly effective ways.

    I can't speak to anyone's budget, so I won't make any recommendations about how or when to buy this game, but I'm absolutely confident in advising that if you are a console owner, you SHOULD play this game. What's been lost in the critical response and the company's response is that this is an absolute masterpiece in storytelling. It sets a new standard in creative storytelling and character exploration. Play it on next-gen if you can, certainly, but play it one way or another.

    Played on series x, some graphic bugs, no game breaking ones. Solid fps on performance mode. Graphics could be better but will come in 2021. Surprisingly good story and nice city environment. Loot and lvl system maybe bit overwhelming for mediocre rpg player but will get hang on. I hope cdpr will patch this game up asap, but it won't hold me from playing, enjoyed it.

    Not nearly as broken as some would suggest. Did it release a bit too early? Probably. The frame rate is quite low but definitely still very playable and apart from a tiny bit of Jank here and there the game is superb. I can't speak to the PS4 version but on Xbone s it's very enjoyable.

On series x game runs great, yes it's obvious that the game was rushed out towards the end and the game is definitely rough around the edges but what's underneath is easily one of the best games i've played in a while and if you enjoy being immersed in story, characters, music etc. Then you'll have a good time. Don't listen to all the people bashing the hell out of a game they haven't played. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Cyberpunk 2077 had a horrible launch and deserved all the flak it got, but with the recent patches, it’s improved a lot. Crashing and freezing on Xone has been reduced and the game runs smoother. The frame rate feels like it’s improved a bit, but cops are still broken.

    Storyline/Characters The story is absolutely brilliant, the writers did a fantastic job. I love the idea of V and Jackie not knowing that the chip they stole was a personality construct of Johnny Silverhand and V slowly turning in to Johnny. Jackie’s death scene is real emotional and when V says “See you in the major leagues.” To Jackie’s body, it’s just a punch in the gut. Every end is really good for storytelling. I don’t know how many there are but here are the ones I know of: V leaves Night City with Panam or Judy or both, V kills himself, V stays in Night City and raids a space casino, V raids arasaka tower alone, Johnny takes over V’s body. Almost all the characters are like able and feel like real people, Jackie, V, Johnny, Panam, Judy, Saul, Mitch, Mama Welles, and practically all the other side characters. The two main romances, Judy and Panam, are amazing characters with really good side storylines. Judy’s actor did a fantastic job with her, she’s so good, some of the scenes with Judy are hard to watch. Same with Panam, who a lot of times is fueled by anger and revenge, but also is a caring, loving person to V and the Aldecaldos. For both Panam and Judy, you can tell their voice actors really tried, but then again, every actor in this game tried big-time. I saw this YouTube comment and it practically said Cyberpunk’s main plot is about death and excepting one’s mortality. I think this is true cause in every ending V “dies” in some way.

    Gameplay
    This game has a fantastic story, but what about gameplay? Gameplay is also pretty damn good, it can be frustrating when the projectile launch system doesn’t do any damage or when bullets don’t register, but when your running around with a blade, and your just chopping everyone down, it makes you feel like a real badass. Most guns are fun to shoot and sound nice.

    Conclusion Cyberpunk 2077 is a fun, emotional, funny, buggy, sometimes frustrating game with a fantastic story and good gameplay. I recommend getting this game after the February patch. One more thing, I keep seeing people saying this game looks like a PS2 game, it really doesn’t. To all the people who keep saying that why don’t you go do side by comparison before making it seem like this game came out 2005.

    I think it's silly all the review bombing, giving this game a 0/10 is ridiculous. Yes, I am disappointed in the way CDPR deceived the general buying public by not disclosing footage of base console gameplay and I also believe they should have delayed the game a few more months.

Yes, I am disappointed in the way CDPR deceived the general buying public by not disclosing footage of base console gameplay and I also believe they should have delayed the game a few more months. However, I feel this game is a solid 8/10 on base Xbox One. I've played many hours so far (started after patch 1.06) and only had the game freeze on me twice. To be honest, Fallout 4 GOTY edition froze on me many times so I'm not sure what people are complaining about. I agree the AI could have been improved somewhat, as they haven't progressed it since The Witcher 3 but really, I don't really care about that. it's just window dressing to make the world feel a little more immersive. What really matters is the interaction and dialogue with the characters in the main and side missions, not some random AI character walking down the street. This is where I feel they really nailed it, the story and characters. To me, story is the most important aspect. When I have a hard time putting down my controller and going to bed, that's a good sign. I also find the side stories and gigs have their own little stories that make completing them interesting. The options as far as combat and how to deal with completing missions I find give variety. The huge city is amazing and I love being able to drive around. I actually drive more than fast travel, which is interesting as past games I've always fast travelled. I saw some footage of my brother-in-law's gameplay on his computer and it looks fantastic. I will agree that the graphics could definitely be improved on the base consoles as it can be a little blurry at times but I am confident this will be addressed in the next two big patches. However, even after the next patches in January and February, I'm not expecting this to look like a next-gen console or high-end computer as my machine is 7 years old. I'm confident CDPR will get this game where it should be and then my score will bump up to a 9/10. So far however, I've been really enjoying the story and my time in Night City and think it's great that CDPR might not have hit a home run but I'm glad they at least made the attempt. Oh, and the soundtrack is killer. Expand

Their reputation has been seriously damaged and trust with their customer base at an all-time low.

    With that said, I want to review the game, the shipped product I received, and my experience with it. Overall I loved the game, there is a great game in there. The story and characters ultimately won me over and managed to cancel out all the bugs and awkwardness, just!

    So the good? Night City itself is beautiful, the characters are deep, complex & fleshed out with arcs that progress as the story does, it all feels very real. The voice acting is top-notch throughout.
    The side gigs felt fun and varied, I didn't feel like I grinding away for hours on end for the sake of it.
    The main story too kept me hooked, it had me thinking and it felt like anything could happen at any moment, it was exciting and concluded beautifully in my playthrough.

    The bad? The bugs! nothing worse than being emotionally invested in a scene for some silly bug like a floating NPC or someone's lips / face is not moving when they are having an emotional meltdown, it really takes you out of the moment.

    The constant distractions! my in-game phone wouldn't stop ringing! I don't want to buy your car!

    The world as beautiful as it was didnt feel alive or lived in. With Rockstar games you feel the NPCs are getting on with their day, like when you leave they will continue living their lives. This felt like assets on the pavement to get in your way.

    I could go on for hours but it has all been said already. This had the potential to be a masterpiece, it had the worst launch possibly of all time, the bugs are awful, the performance is appalling and the practices of CDPR have not helped its cause in the slightest. It is a massive shame as the story and characters are what people should be talking about!

    Game is runnen good and looks good, and this is without the next gen patch.
    Sure there are bugs in this game, but with a game of fhis scope its normal.
    In my 25 hours of playtime game only crashed once. Im sure CPR is gonna fix this, they only had to delay the game with a half year, and they did not have this problem.

    Cyberpunk is the game of the decade! There are no bugs, FPS - 30-40, the plot is great, the role-playing component is extensive, and includes many aspects of playing V.

    Minuses:
    The physics of the car is not well developed, and I would like more customization for V.

    Плюсы: Киберпанк - игра десятилетия! Багов нет, FPS - 30-40, сюжет великолепен, ролевая составляющая обширна, и включает в себя много аспектов отыгрыша Ви.

    Минусы: Физика авто не очень хорошо проработана, и хотелось бы большей кастомизации для Ви.

In my opinion, the campaign speaks louder than the bugs, it was amazing, every single character in the story is different, they sound real, it's a feeling I've never had before, the final was amazing. In my opinion, the qualities speaks louder. Amazing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Im not sure ill be able to fit this into 5000 characters but here goes:

    Im mainly going to talk about the story because that's this game's biggest strength. I finished this about half an hour ago and I gotta say, this was one of the best stories I've ever sat through. The characters are drawn out with such care and detail that it makes you actually care about them and how their story progresses, even including the main character, V. In my playthrough i decided to end off travelling with the Alcedalcos and Panam to Arizona and oh my god was it ever a satisfying conclusion. I thought it would end out very poorly by simply dying in cyberspace after everything you'd gone through but it surprised me and let me end the story even better than i hoped it would. I almost don't want to continue playing with the character i used because i wanna leave it off where it did. But where this game really shines isn't its main story, its the side quests. Certain side quests bring you through these mini storylines that are equally as in depth as the main story. Kerry trying to figure out his place in the world, Judy struggling with how to handle the hardships shes been through, River, a police detective who feels stressed out about his job and struggling to balance out family and work or even the Delamain AI personalities that want to break free from their host. The amount of detail they put into these characters is like nothing I've ever seen before and probably will never see again. I cared way too much about these fictional characters and I think that shows how amazing the writin in it really is.

    I cant write a review about the game without talking about its atmosphere. I think Night City was built to perfection, Pacifica being a once blooming paradise for the rich, now a forgotten, crime filled district, North Oak filled with Luxorious scenery and architecture, The Badlands being a forgotten side of the city, an endless desert filled with trash, rusted out windmills and run down buildings yet in the right place with the right people, it feels so peaceful. I want to actually single out The Badlands for a second. Since i took the Aldecaldos ending, The Badlands feels like an even more special place to go. There was even times i would go to the Aldecaldos camp, sit by the fire and listen to the fellow clanmate sitting on the couch while playing the guitar and i would just take in the atmosphere. Never have i been able to do that in a game nor have the feeling of complete peace in a setting usually filled with so much chaos. But you cant forget the city either, its loud nature, massive population, confined streets and nonstop ads for fictional products being thrown in your face. While its such an unrealistic environment, it still feels close to reality and what we as a society aro moving toward in the future. There were honestly times when i was roaming Night City and its outskirts where I wanted to be inside that reality, and for that, i think its amazing world building.

    But even with its flawless storywriting and near perfect world, there are the inevitable issues. Now, with the game itself, i have no issues but, there are bugs you will run into. Whether theyre game breaking, immersion breaking or just plain annoying, they will no doubt be there. I played this on the Xbox One so I had the most bare bones experience you could get. I walked into this game expecting the bugs so when they happened, they didn't surprise me. I had issues switching camera views, props clipping into characters, quests that bugged out where i had to reload the save, you name the bug, i had it. But that didn't stop me from loving this game, I plainly saw it as a small setback. I think this game does have a long road of patches ahead of it and I really hope it reaches a more playable state in the future because theres so much CP2077 has to offer that people who let bugs effect their opinion will miss out on.

    In conclusion, I think Cyberpunk is an absolute masterpiece with the only reason for losing 2 points on my score being the bugs it had. Now, it was only 2 because I expected the bugs so i didn't let it effect my view of the game as much as most people. But it's a game where you really have to sit down, take in the atmosphere, connect with the characters and put yourself in V's shoes. The story, world building, detail and endless features is what makes this game one of my favourites of all time in general, and my favourite story of all time. It gave me emotions i had never experienced in any other piece of entertainment i've experienced and for that i would love to thank CDPR for creating this work of art. I would love to make this review double the length it is and go into other things like cyberware, progression, the unreal looking vehicles, weapons and clothing. Theres too much to fit into a 5000 character review but this was the best i could do. This game is 100% worth a try even in its buggy state.

    Lastly, Thank you CDPR :)

I am incredibly happy with the game, and I am looking forward to seeing what they add to the game next. For those here that did not like the game at launch, I suggest giving this another shot. Expand

    My personal opinion about cyberpunk 2077 is that, its a good game open world and your decisions predetermine the end of the story also the side missions are fun in a way are also better than the story the bugs are annoying but not so much still need to be repair some things but it is not a bad game.

    Cyberpunk 2077, had a terrible start with its disastrous launch, but over time and its updates the game finally reached the expected level at its launch, this game would easily be 91+ if it had not had all the initial problems, but unfortunately the game has experienced these issues and my rating is reduced due to these facts.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. well, lvl 44 now so played a fair bit. It is engaging, the main storyline is pretty cool. The interplay with Johnny is cool. Night City is pretty extensive and you can spend a lot of time cruising around. There are some obviously flaws - random crashes, don't go into the settings menu (you can't get out!), I'm not sure if it's cos i'm late in the game but i can't find any crafting recipes any more to craft top tier gear. I do have legendary's etc but they are getting old.
    Once you get a decent suite of quickhacks - combat is pretty easy - you can snipe bads from a long distance and they never touch you. Took me a while to find out that melee weapons were pretty good though (pretty powerful too). Levelling up is a slow process so each level is pretty powerful - the skill trees are well designed and make you think hard about where to spend your points.
    I've done a couple endings now and there isn't really anything else left to do in the game - other than random side street encounters which aren't very interesting. I do like how some of the side quest chains continue at random times (not sure what the trigger is here) which keeps some side threads going nicely though i think I've run out of those too.
    Over all its an ambitious outing and i hope they can tidy it up and add some more longevity to it.

    The long awaited and now super hated Cyberpunk is here! So I feel like its impossible to not mention the technical issues of the game. I want to report I've only played this on the 2 xbox systems as mentioned. So far I've has zero crashes and few to no bugs. I will however note that HDR is terrible on this game and absolutely broken. The colors are all but drained from the game and it looks totally washed out on my 4k display. I don't have junk tv either im playing on Sony x930c and a Panasonic Zt60 plasma. So that my main configuration is on a series X on a 1080p display.

    I have to first start out by mentioning that this is absolutely the most beautiful open world game i've played. The lighting in the game and reflections are night are stunning. The 60fps under performance mode on the Series X is the absolute best way to play on console bar none. I've had little to no frame rate drops or hitches in performance. The texture work is crystal clear too. In most games NPC look a whole tear down in quality vs the main characters but, this isnt the case here. The graphics really do show an evolutional step to a new generation. This however is at the expense that base console probably shouldn't have even been released.

    The music is totally rad. I'm loving all of it and the only complaint I have is that its not on enough in missions.

    The skill tree and leveling system is good but it is in no way unique or special. In fact this game is such a rip off of Deus EX I cant believe no one is pointing it out. If you liked Deus HR or MD you'll like this too even if its not nearly as good and is a blatant rip off.

    Cyberpunk isnt this massive revolutionary game it was toted up to be and will probably let people down based on hype and expectations alone. However there is a solid open world game here. The missions while not flushed out and as polished as they should be can be fun. The real experience here is just how exceptional the main story mission is. Everything revolving around the scripted story is aces where as everything else feels like slapped together content. Over all I think its really fun game and experience that you should get around too albeit maybe a little later once its patched more and cheaper.

    Cyberpunk is a mixture of massive open world possibilities and fabulous storyline/voice acting and linear gameplay and missed opportunities. There are secrets all around to explore from the different ways you can approach and play the game to the hidden objectives within the quests. You could get lost in its rich and crafted depth and yet the developers decided to opt for a skimming off the top of all this and leave you bereft of meaningful objectives.

    The gameplay and graphics are excellent, and I thought I’d dip my toe in the game and do a few missions before I upgrade to the series x next year and the “Full Game” was released. The next thing I know, I’m about 5 short acts into the game and I’m prompted to save my game. I’m thinking at this point that I’ve hit the start of some main plot twist and then... “the end”...

    I finished it. I thought I’d only just got started. I’d only done about 1 mission in the badlands FFS! Seriously, this has got to be the worlds shortest RPG...

    It’s an RPG with the campaign length of a first person shooter. Really this product was not ready, and I’m not just talking the bugs. I would say it needed another year in development focusing just on the high end hardware. They really needed to flesh the storyline out across the whole map and get you immersed in the cyberpunk world. It’s a great game. Well worth the money, but it’s just such a missed opportunity that it’s a real shame.

    It's a great game but the bugs really take their toll..Other amazing innovative games like Fall out and KKD had bugs but not this bad..The worst thing is they get worse the longer you play, so when the story is really picking up their is jenk pulling you out of the experience..The console version is miles from acceptable , still..But there really is a potential masterpeice under it all.

    Night City is a vibrant place and is very believable - you do get a sense when walking through the world that this is what the world could look like in the very near future.

    Unfortunately the immersion is broken by police that spawn out of nowhere and NPC's which ignore you walking around with your dong out.

    The story though is engaging and enjoyable, with varied missions that aren't too laborious. Characters are likeable though there are maybe a few too many. Sometimes your phone rings non stop and different characters introduce themselves and it can feel a little overwhelming.

    I trust CDProjektred and I think they will eventually deliver on this game. If any game has identified the broken vision of the harmony that Microsoft have tried to deliver across multiple generations of consoles, it's this one.

You can see that there was a lot that went into the creation and development of this game, but I have never had any console game hard crash as much as this one. Ever. I have had consoles since the PS1/PS2 era. Maybe I was fortunate in the past, but it makes it very difficult to give this game anything but a mediocre score if it's unplayable as it was intended to be experience. All of that said this game has the most vibrant, lived in setting I have ever seen. The voice acting alone has me coming back after every frustrating game crash because it is easily some of the best I've experienced. My biggest issue with this game, outside of the technical ones, is I don't really have a sense of what I'm supposed to be doing. Most of the time that's okay because there's so much to take in, but the tutorial level was frankly garbage. I'm so tired of VR tutorials. It's what a hack developer would do for their game (pun intended). I'm also in a little bit of shock at the core game loop and the action elements of this game. They feel old and dated. That's compounded because the controls are stiff and gun play at first is very loose as you need to progress and make your recoil and aim better and tighter. As far as the game play is concerned I'm not sure if the mission based "go here and do this" main quests/side quest really does anything but bring the game down because the behind the wheel driving physics are definitely lacking and getting anywhere in the car sucks me right out of the game. The hacking mechanic is fine, but ultimately confusing at first because there is SOOO much to keep an eye on for leveling your character and how your "RAM," or the cost of hacking, is utilized and necessary to execute any hack. The hacking mini game however still makes no sense to me and I will have to look up what it is they want me to do when that is happening.

    I'm having fun in the game in spite of the above issues. I like the characters. I love the world and it's potential and I know in time this game will get patched. I know in time there will more content. However, this is the game that was released and the best I see this deserves is a somewhere in the land of mediocre.

    Despite all the hate, i have experienced few of the bugs everyone complains about. And the few i found never maimed my gaming experience or crashed the game.

    the pros:
    - the city and the atmosphere: really amazed by how living the city is. The city lights are amazing, feels like to be in Blade Runner. Loved also the different neighborhoods, and the badlands.
    - main story and character writing: the main story is short but very immersive. the side quests related to story characters are well-written and you bond with each of the protagonists. the cons:
    - exploration: the city is amazing to look at but feels shallow. you are free to explore very few buildings and apart from side quests/vendors, you won't find many NPCs willing to talk
    - nearly invincible police is very annoying
    - driving and not being able to customize/pimp cars
    - crafting and engineering: the former is very confusing and lacks explanation, the latter feels redundant

    the mehs:
    - items: there are many consumables but I only used max docs. do not feel like there is a great variety of armory and clothing. - romance: just one option per sexual orientation feels boring. They also could have made all characters bisexual as other games did. - side quests and contracts: side quests found in the world sometimes are fun and cheeky (my favorites), sometimes are too short or lack scope. contracts are just okay.

    Hello! I played my version of Cyberpunk 2077 on an Xbox One X console, digitally bought.

    About the Bugs...
    I can see the outrage with the bugs and other reviewers are extremely mad about it and to be honest... I understand why. When I knew there were going to be bugs I shrugged my shoulders and accepted that I would be receiving a bugged out game, but... was quite shocked to see the actual amount of bugs that plagued this game, which I myself started to question as too why there were so many. The bugs are there... freezes, crashes, missing art on guns, T posing NPC's the whole lot of them but with the quick save features, whenever I did crash or had to leave the game, it put me relatively super close to the area I crashed at so I was able to continue to play my game onward without any hiccups... until I found the next crash that is... Is it playable...? Yes.. it very much is, and you can get through the storyline and complete the game but it will feel like you're trudging through mud while doing it.

    Story:
    I was a bit disappointed at first with the story... I was confused during the beginning of the game as to what was the point of pushing through the story if it was kind of... typical, and then.. it hit me. The story got good and real fun. There's a lot in this game.. A LOT of MEAT to tear and chew through but when you get to the good story plots... you've put your seat belt on and are fully on for the ride! The story is worth it in the end, its a slow burner until it "hits the fan" per say and when you get there... it will absolutely be worth it.

    Sound:
    With the heavy amount of guns and cars throughout the game... I thought that some of the sounds might have gotten overlooked but to tell you the truth... It didn't. Different guns... from the same TYPE have different gun shots to them. When you shoot someone with a pistol that is supposed to be stronger.. you do feel the power and feel like you're holding something lethal in your hand when fighting different enemies. Enemies that look scary, feel heavy, and different cars that range from expensive to cheap all have their heavy engine sounds to them which I was pleasantly surprised to find.

    Gameplay:
    Here's where we finally get to the good stuff. The game is fun. Not going to lie to you. I played as Male V wielding a Katana and Sub machine gun while hacking my way through enemies. You would think... wielding a katana sounds weird right? Well... I wanted to try it and built my way towards a melee build and it was absolutely viable. Normally, when you do any kind of melee build in an RPG game that was marketed for gun play one would assume I would be struggling quite alot with a bunch of game over screens but that was not the case here. Investing points into the right perks made me feel like a bad*** samurai slashing my way through enemies and feeling awesome while doing it. It felt fluid and smooth when I ran... crouch slid into cover then jumped out of cover as an enemy came at me and pulled my katana out for a righteous bloody kill. Its awesome and I recommend everyone to at least try it. The AI... its not that bad, they play fairly smart. Its not as bad as people says it is... really... you will have fun no doubt... especially if you've got a bloody katana in your hand slashing through enemies like Raiden from Metal Gear Rising.

    MISC:
    The inventory and amount of items in the game are just overwhelming.. At the start of the game you will be selling or dismantling alot of your gear with a bunch of stats you won't really understand until you reach a certain point in the game. The amount of food and stat buffs there are to me personally bulks the game down.. its just baffling to me why there's so much food in the game you won't really have the chance to even eat. The standard "Med Hypo" thats like any red potion in an rpg was good enough for me..

    Overall Final Thoughts:
    This game should be a 9... BUT. A HUGEEE BUT. There are technical bugs that just hurt the entire experience for me. There are minor gripes that I have with the menu and inventory system and the game crashing every so often makes me... *sigh* with sadness, but what kept me going was the amount of fun I was having killing guys with my katana and enjoying the storyline. If the bugs get fixed and the graphics can be played at the resolution it was suppose to be played at, this would be an EASY 9.5/10 for me. But as the game is right now... My final score is a 7.75/10. I didn't go lower for one reason. CDPR WILL patch these nuisances up... It WILL be fixed... Do NOT Fret my boys, and when that glorious day happens, I will be the first to change my score from a 7 to a higher score. All we need is patience and in my humble opinion, we should all just be happy we are even allowed to play the game... even in the state its in... instead of seeing another scary "Delay Email" again. Peace, love you guys.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall, i’ve had a good experience with this game. I’l break it down into performance and gameplay, and then my feelings on the story.

    Performance/ Gameplay: On Xbox one, semi decent, far from perfect. Far far better than it was on launch, a lot of annoying freezing issues fixed as well as graphic issues, but a fair few still remain (Answering text while driving causes you to carry on with zero control, etc) I’ll be replaying it on the Xbox Series X once i’ve got one, as i feel it’s hindered the game a fair bit playing it on a 6 year old xbox. Shootings decent, as well as combat, very detailed environment with plenty to do, i quite like the almost jokey feel to a variety of the descriptions of items and job’s too. Drivings a bit flakey, but i’ve played racing games all of my life, so i’m probably a bit more judgmental on that aspect. Love the aesthetics of the game, really blade runneresque. Cars are super cool too, with a really cool design take to them. Techno radio station is cool too, if that’s your bag.

    Story:
    (Spoilers) Really enjoyed the overall story of the game, very well developed and written, characters are very detailed and interesting also. Good length to the main story too, i’ve finished it in about 25 hours. (I’ve done next to no side missions bar Panam’s quest line) However, my main issue with the story is the ending, and Panam’s quest line.

    Once you come to the end game, it will jump back to your save previous to the end game section. I’ve never been a fan of this in most games, as it sorta feels like i’ve not finished it, and my actions in the end game section don’t really have any bearing as they essentially never happened. Panams story line is absolutely wicked. So it’s a real shame that a character with so much depth and a huge cool story line attached that could be so much bigger is literally just cast off once you complete it, (until end game) you literally go from being really interested in it and wanting more to almost feeling like your favourite TV series has finished forever and thats that. Pretty annoying tbh, but this and the ending are my main issues with it. Overall, glad i bought it. Very unique game, with an interesting story and plot, very enjoyable and i’ll be playing more of it. I’d recommend waiting it out a little so a few issues are fixed if you’re on PS4/Xbox One.

    El juego es muy bueno en jugabilidad y en historia, los diseños son originales y el mundo de cyberpunk es cautivador, pero si es verdad que le falta en optimización y aunque yo no me he topado con bugs graves, es innegable que hay varios que te sacan del papel de pandillero futurista. Sin embargo se lo achacaría más a la consola que al juego en si creo que ya no puedehacer que se vea mejor.

    I’ve never been this negatively affected by the performance of a game before. I know my expectations were high.. but I genuinely do not want to play the game until it’s fixed - or I upgrade my hardware.

That being said, I’m playing on a Xbox One X with a 4k QLED T.V.. it shouldn’t be THIS unplayable. The game crashes every 3-4 missions. Lag, pop-in, and glitches are atrocious. I’m playing on the most recent patch (12/14/20) and have spent hours tinkering with the settings. Even @ 1440p with HDR off I feel forced to fast-travel. Load screens and vape breaks are better at holding my immersion. In terms of story and gameplay, Cyberpunk has met most my expectations. I was hoping for some kind of reinvention of the wheel.. but it would’ve been nice to see some kind of innovation when it comes to the RPG elements. There is the typical amount of life-draining trash accumulation (loot) and scrapping for parts. Nothing new. When the world isn’t buffering it looks amazing. Audio on all levels is top-shelf. Starting missions is always exciting and feels novel. And even when it isn’t, the gunplay holds up well enough to fill in the gaps. I expected more options when it comes to your living space(s), and was pretty let down by the vehicles. Luckily, everything is so well modeled and designed that the lack of customization doesn’t feel like a total compromise, maybe just a personal preference. I’m not sure why they put so much “detail” into the character creator.. when none of the choices you made are relevant, and none of them can be changed. Hope you don’t get to level 15 and find out you chose the wrong nose.. They can give you missile arms in 2077, but not a haircut. Compared to other games and my expectations: 85/100. Based on the performance of the game (which has been in development since 1973.. supposedly FOR my console.. does no one that remember Keanu was on the Xbox stage?): 65/100. I preordered the game based off the devs track record of not being EA (if you’re reading this and you buy HUT packs I hope you don’t see 2021). I’m not looking for a refund. I know they will fix the game and add amazing DLC and fee content. I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed. I came to the realization that CDPR is my favorite of the big game developers.. but that’s just like saying they’re the most polished turd Expand

    Has some issues and does crash occasionally, but I have no doubt it will get the Witcher or No Man’s Sky treatment - and will get patched up to a solid 10/10 if the PC is anything to go by (I play on xbone, my fiance plays on PC so I have a direct comparison)

It’s the tapeworm mission glitch and the patch didn’t do anything i’m currently deleting all my data in hopes my game will be fine. I think it’s because you have to do quests in a specific order even though you have the options to do them in any order. It definitely needed another few months maybe even a year. If you’re one of the people who say “Maybe you should get a next gen console or PC cyberpunk was supposed to be a next gen game” 1st of all its not the game was in development about 8 years ago it was planned to be in a last gen console and they were always ambitious with it. They should’ve posted something saying the game would be buggy if they released it now and maybe a poll would be nice. I preordered it for Xbox hoping for an amazing but instead i’m in the hole 60 dollars and disappointed. Expand

There is soooooooo much to do in this game and the story is really good and the graphics are fantastic but those points are only a minor part of the story. From the moment I boot up the game I get bombarded with minor irritating glitches all the way up to game breaking crashes. In my around ten hours of playtime I have experienced these issues, among others! Falling through the ground under the map, rubberbanding, rendering not able to keep up with itself while driving. Everytime I move from one room to another I have 5-10 people popping up from delayed rendering. I also have buttons not recognizing they were pushed, sound skipping and repeating, and multiple full game crashes! With this huge list of problems with the game I still give it a 7 because everything else besides those issues is a flawless game that tries a lot of new things I just really wish even half the glitches weren't there because the game itself has me hooked!!

The awful textures from NPC are present, as they can take a bit of time to load, disappointing, but far from game breaking. Frame rate drops are very rare (at least to the point it is noticeable), it happened to me only once. The biggest hindrance I have experienced is when an event occurs while driving (for exemple, you get attacked while being driven around NC). When this happens, the game will freeze for 10 to 20 second, where I'm convinced the game crashed, but textures keep loading oddly and then the game picks back up and continues. I believe the biggest criticism is around the marketing. They have been presenting a vibrant NC, when in truth it is rather barren. But to be honest, I am not really disappointed. I'm used to the incredible "in game video" used for marketing that look incredible, when in truth it is fairly ordinary. As such, my expectation for CP were similar and I expected a very tone down city and graphics. The story is incredible and very engaging. I have never been so invested in the events of a game. The shooting is ok and sufficient for an RPG. I would recommend this game on Xbox one to anyone who asked, assuming they can distinct marketing from reality. It is a far from a flawless game and anyone giving a 10/10 is a ignoring its unpolished state, but nevertheless it remains a very entertaining experience. Expand

    What to say about CONSOLE VERSIONS?

    - current PS5 version is NOT final next generation console version
    - current XBOX Series X version is NOT final next generation console version
    - REAL next gen console versions to come in 2021
    - PS5 upgrade for PS4 version owners FOR FREE
    - XBOX Series X upgrade for Xbox One version owners FOR FREE
    - in next gen versions Night City will not look "dead"
    (now it does somehow, due to the need to reduce number of NPCs)

    Warning: This game needs up-to-date hardware to function properly!

    What do owners (I am myself) of PS4 or Xbox ONE expect?
    No graphic glitches?
    No crashes?
    60fps?

    You also may play this game on an eight year old PC and get similar results.
    CP2077 is not the first to look really bad on old gen consoles (and old PCs) and wont be the last.

    Get used to it or get powerful hardware (as soon as it is available)!

    While Cyberpunk 2077 has many bugs and glitches, one can look past that and see the beauty of the world and the immersive experience that world creates. Playing on Xbox One X has been an alright experience, if you have a base model console maybe wait and see on this game as it is not optimized well for those systems. Overall pretty good time if you can tolerate a bit of a buggy experience.

And the pathing for NPC vehicles is terrible, park a car in the middle of the street and get out, and cars will just bank up behind you.

The gameplay systems are very deep and diverse, the story is great and Night City is extremely dense. Cyberpunk 2077 is very ambitious and achieves a lot of what CDPR wanted for this game. However, that doesn't mean the game is without its shortcomings.

    Firstly, the performance on base Xbox One (and One X to a degree) is just not acceptable at all. I understand developing for multiple platforms is extremely difficult & trying to finish a game during a global pandemic would hinder production, but if the game was not ready on consoles it never should have been sold for those platforms. You should always want to do right by your customers.

    Secondly, this game isn't as "RPG" as I had hoped. The game opens up with an extremely deep character customization screen allowing you to handcraft your own "V". However, the amount of control you have over your V from a narrative level is extremely slim. As you progress further into the game you soon realize your "V" is not actually yours but rather a "V" that just so happens to look like you. This is a huge missed opportunity similar to the way the game handles its extremely disappointing Life Path mechanic. Gameplay-wise this is as RPG as it gets but you begin to wonder if it should truly qualify as an RPG narratively.

    Finally, there is a severe lack of polish that just takes away from the experience. I am usually very liberal on bugs, but I encountered numerous issues from constantly clipping into walls, T posing NPCs, NPC's teleporting into the road & getting in trouble for hitting them, quests not registering, enemy ai randomly dying as they charge towards me, and extremely poor AI programming across the board. However, what ruins immersion the most is the fact that the NCPD teleport into a crime scene and start blasting anything on sight.

    There is A LOT to like about Cyberpunk 2077, but I can't help but feel like the game is just unfinished. I feel like this game needed at least another year in the oven before being out for people to spend their hard-earned money on it. In its current state, I give Cyberpunk a decent 7. A great effort from CDPR. Ps DO NOT BUY ON BASE XBOX ONE OR PS4

    I played this game on Xbox One S and it's a complete bugfest. I play early-2000s games all the time so I'm used to games not being visually stunning but **** me did they mess up here. The graphics look like Plasticine until it's loaded properly and the only game that has crashed, frozen and hiccuped more for me is Fallout 4. This game got delayed for 7 months and the only reason the gaming community put up with all the delays was because we believed they were ironing out the kinks in the game but what the **** were they doing all that time?! Twiddling their thumbs, jerking off or bum****ing each other? It had 7 years of development time, exactly the same as RDR2 and that game is a visual and story masterpiece. That game ran perfectly on Xbox One and PS4 with nearly zero bugs and had the same time in development as RDR2. CP2077 had more than enough potential to exceed that. This is the only game I ever preordered and it came out broken despite way more than enough extra time to debug the game.

    And despite all that, I enjoyed every single second of this game. As I mentioned before, the story, side quests and characters are perfection. That's the one area that CDPR didn't fail in. If you think you can put up with all the bugs and graphical issues, get it, on offer if you must. If you think that all the bugs and graphical issues will drive you to insanity, get the next-generation console and play it on there.

So, but other stuff like main quest line, additional quest, characters, city in terms of architecture and atmosphere, cars designs (not physics), soundtracks, atmosphere and music is really good. So I really disappointed, Cyberpunk had a real chance to be the game of the year, and not only the year, but we have, what we have... And it’s really sad... And the most awful thing, that CDPR lies to us, about Cyberpunk technical issues, gameplay, open world, etc... So, as for me it’s simply normal game with interesting storytelling, and nothing else...

Is the game when everything's counted better than Witcher 3? Not even close. There is no excuse for it being released in the condition it is. It actually doesn't even make sense the studio with so much experience release something like this. Tons of missing basic content (customizations of avatar, cars, weapons, houses, nonstop repeating music - like seriously, there are like 4 songs playing on every radio station in a loop).

    And the worst part? They knew they were about to release broken, far from finished game. They literally admitted they were lying about the technical state of the game. The last delay to December? That was literally made just so they wouldn't be on VGA, because they knew they'd fail miserably - as they claimed it was to optimize last-gen versions even more than it already is.

    For me, the score for this game must be separated into many categories -
    Storyline and story side quests: 9/10
    Atmosphere: 9/10
    Technical aspects (including AI, customization etc): 3/10
    Sound: 5/10
    Game content outside of story: 5/10

    Summarized: 6/10. Unfinished game in every possible imaginable aspect there is, and the only thing why it's worth playing is for it's story and how well it's presented. Your choices in the world have little to no effect at the endings, which eventually makes the whole journey pointless. But really great story to play through during the pandemic nevertheless. It'd just make much better mini-series.

    The game was played running performance mode on Xbox Series X, patch 1.04

    Muchos bugs, y lo veo muy flojo como conjunto. Me gusta la historia, pero honestamente me parece mejor Crackdown 3 cuando se trata de tiroteos y verticalidad en la ciudad. No entiendo ver edificios y estructuras tan altas si no puedes entrar a ninguna ni subir. Una vez conoces una parte de la mega ciudad, ya conociste todo, es muy monótono y repetido.

    Espero que pronto solucione los

    Espero que pronto solucione los problemas y agreguen contenido.

    Creo que al final fueron víctimas de su propia campaña de marketing. Yo leí en varios medios que este era el mejor juego de la década, y la verdad no veo tal cosa.

    Los sitios son repetidos, los enemigos también, las armas son iguales, etc.

    Honestly its better than a zero. The game is buggy and has bad frame rates at times. But its still there, the game isn't empty, and there is a lot to do. It needs visual patches bad, but once then, it should be good.

    Update: I am altering my score because after many updates and fixes this game is really good now. It’s probably a 9 or 10 but I still can’t past the fact they disingenuously tried to scam users when it released. I am rating it a 6 taking into consideration it’s current state and it’s release state.

    Sad, after several delays they still release a game the is quite honestly not playable on

    Sad, after several delays they still release a game the is quite honestly not playable on a base system and barely playable on the X. It's simply an embarrassment they accepted money full well knowing it's garbage on this system. They're should be mass refunds or they otta be ready for potential class actions. It's fraud.

    I feel after nearly 100 hours doing side quest and exploring night city I can give my honest opinion about this game .the story to the game and character back story is amazing and I feel that is where this game shines , the combat is pretty fun but ......but the game has some issues some that are not totally game breaking .. a crash here or there . Ai could be improved a bit , moreI feel after nearly 100 hours doing side quest and exploring night city I can give my honest opinion about this game .the story to the game and character back story is amazing and I feel that is where this game shines , the combat is pretty fun but ......but the game has some issues some that are not totally game breaking .. a crash here or there . Ai could be improved a bit , more activities could be added to the city .. cops seem dumb , ai is just random filler to make the city feel alive but in the end only makes you feel more alone .. stores and other things are practically useless when you can create nearly everything you need or find them ... overall the gameplay I enjoy it the weapons are cool the amount of skills that you can put on your character is cool but the game is lacking in content like bad .. after the story you are left with nothing to do besides kill random enemies in the street .. you can not preview clothing which acts like armor before you buy it , again ai is pretty dumb in this game often stoping in middle of the road for no reason thinking that you are parked in front of them . You leave your car in the middle of the road the ai will not drive around it but stay in the same spot ..

    Again the game is fun , the story is great the voice acting is amazing but the game needs more ! I would give this game a 7 because of the story and the story choices, and freedom of choice in some story options .. don’t go in here expecting a grand rpg game , or a ground breaking fps it’s none of those .

    This is no elder scrolls, this is no fallout .. this is no final fantasy . Nor is it halo or a doom ... it tries to be a rpg but fails at it

    Story I would give it a 8/9 , gameplay like guns shooting fighting I would say may be 7-8 .. graphics on the Xbox series x 4 may be until they give the next gen update .. everything else a 2 may be a 3

    The bugs are not the real problem here. Cyberpunk 2077 is bland in its enviroment. The game lacks a lot of game mechanics that are needed for an open world game in order to be good. IA is kind of bad, there are not enough new skills to play with and most stores are useless.
    Cyberpunk 2077 is hurt for the gaming tendency to have Diablo style loot, that makes most of the loot just junk and

    I played it on Xbox One X and graphics where nice, I didnt have much crashes. I had a lot of bugs but none was game breaking.
    But the game was not as fun, mechanics were not deep, skills were not notorious. The game was mediocre before its launch, it was mediocre since the idea. That is a shame.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Side quests without resolution. Missing features they used to promote the game. Extremely underwhelming main story. You're dying without cure the entire game like the last act of RDR2. If you have played RDR2 it feels so familiar and stolen. Its from basically the beginning of the game and it ruined it for me. Especially cuz its b.s. you can go free roam in the open world for as long as you like and nothing will happen except a cough and a brief blurry screen every now and then. Which is essentially straight out of RDR2. Except in this game you never actually die unless of course you choose to kill yourself and get the bad ending. The whole game you're told "you are dying and nothing will save you" and thats how the game ends, you get Johnny out of your head but you're still dying and cant stop it. Or you let your body die and you become a computer program like Johnny, which sounds like digital purgatory, no thanks Id rather just die. Cant skip or hang up phonecalls and you get hundreds of them. Makes a second playthrough very frustrating. Same with dialogue in cars, they let you skip any dialogue in the game, even during important main quests but not phone calls or car dialogue. Braindances are extremely tedious, on second playthrough they are just annoying as hell. The cops spawn in feet behind you milliseconds after you commit a crime. There is literally no traffic ai. Driving is terrible. Some of the lore is interesting but some of the sidequests that explore it(specifically Sinnerman and River Ward's questline) are insanely boring and unfulfilling. The weapons and cyberware are the best part of the game by far. Smart and tech weapons are very fun. Katanas, double jump, projectile launcher, mantis blades, giant **** are all very fun to destroy people with and I like the quickhacking as well. It makes for some fun combat but the combat loop in this game becomes extremely repetitive especially if you go around doing all the open world gigs. Also there are only 4 joytoys in the entire city. You know its unfinished when there are only 4 hookers in a CDPR game. Expand

    "Breathtaking Lore, Cyberjunk Performance"

    (+) One of the most stylized and unique open worlds to date
    (+) Amazing level of detail in vehicles, cyberware, clothing, culture, etc...
    (+) Well written characters with believable personalities
    (+) Surprisingly great gunplay with unique weapons and styles

    (-) Poorly optimized - game breaking bugs, slow texture pop-in, invisible walls, crashes, etc...
    (-) Seemingly rushed with several noticeable missing features - unused spaceport, transportation systems, vehicle/gun customization, etc...
    (-) Melee combat is poorly designed - difficult to lock to enemies and attack/blocking are very weak when compared to ranged gameplay
    (-) Mission linearity doesn't justify the open world

    (3/5) - Above Average - Recommended at $39.99

    Apart from the obvious bugs the story is not that engaging. The side missions more or less are same go to a certain location kill few people, grab some stuff, rescue someone whether it is from fixer or NCPD it is all the same. There are no other activities I have found that I can do apart from a roller coaster with that too you get bored after doing it once.

    The game is awesome and it is really a well contructed sandbox that lets The player procede as he wants with great imersion, but it's struggling a lot on consoles and is a Buggy mess. I'm playing on Series X and saw a lot of pop ins and characters flying or bugging inside structures. It would easily be a 10/10 if it was not so bugged as it is.The game has no Sound Right now on Portugese,The game is awesome and it is really a well contructed sandbox that lets The player procede as he wants with great imersion, but it's struggling a lot on consoles and is a Buggy mess.

    so this game had the makings of a ten out of ten game, the story or atleast the amount of story i got before the game broke is amazing, the charcters and voice acting are top tier i mean how can you not think that when you can hear someone sounding like they are truly broken, and theres plenty to do side quests are intresting and fun, and fighting cyberpsychos is awesome cause there allso this game had the makings of a ten out of ten game, the story or atleast the amount of story i got before the game broke is amazing, the charcters and voice acting are top tier i mean how can you not think that when you can hear someone sounding like they are truly broken, and theres plenty to do side quests are intresting and fun, and fighting cyberpsychos is awesome cause there all pretty unique, and hell combat is pretty good same with driving defintly above gta in my eyes, rpg elemtents are aslo fun, and whilst ive had a better experince then most i understand why people are mad

    long story short this game on the base xbox loses 4 entire points for the sheer fact the game is broken, the graphics and textures actully make you feel ill with this weird blue effect, and the constant crashes if you drive faster then 120, and sadly there are big glitches that keep one from progressing in the story (which is why i had to stop playing)

    the sad thing is as i said this game could have been a 10 out of 10 if cd had come out and said to everyone this game wouldnt be able to play on base, yes theyd have gotten **** but it would be better then this, cause right now i can say im disapointed cause this is a move i expect from ea not cd hiding till the last moment when some people wouldnt be able to refund, from what ive seen of the newer consoles once i get one my score will go up cause it runs and looks fine on them and i did greatly enjoy this game, but as it stands anyone who wants to play DONT BUY ON BASE wait and upgrade cause youll be disapointed

    thx for reading my review

    It’s because of this fun gameplay and this great story that it’s such a shame Cyberpunk 2077 performs like it’s still in alpha.

    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 didn't meet my expectations, but also didn't disappoint me. It delivered an RPG experience like no other, delving deep into themes like control, awareness and addiction. The combat is great and the graphics are amazing, but the bugs and some under-cooked systems make it seem like the devs got lazy, and that's always a bad sign. (Played on Xbox Series X)
