    Version: Xbox One X

    Performance:
    The first noticeable issues with this game are performance issues: extremely low frame rates, freezes, game crashes, hard crashes (shuts off Xbox). All of these occur while doing general tasks such as driving and walking around the city. Issues become worse during combat making shooting, melee, and hacking unbearable to do. Poor render distances make the game ugly. NPCs pop in just a few feet in front of you, cars despawn 50 feet down the road and will be rendered as 2D images from a far enough distance, and flat textures plague the game. Certain areas of the game still guarantee a 100% chance to crash the game such as the market closest to V's apartment.

    Controls and Gameplay:
    Calibrating your controls just to feel like a standard FPS is an absolute nightmare. The control settings are derivative and convoluted with "Turning Bonus", "Turning Ramp-up Time", and "Turning Delay". ADS sensitivity does not apply to pistols making it extremely difficult to aim with them. Aim assist while ADS feels non existent. Overall gunplay and recoil patterns feel clunky and awkward, and in addition to being bogged down by performance issues makes it unenjoyable just to shoot enemies. Hand to hand combat is terrible with enemies that have incredibly telegraphed attacks to the point where they look slow motion, but are irrelevant because they have homing kicks and punches. It makes the back and forth of blocking, parrying, and dodging boring and ultimately useless (Just play through the side mission Beat on the Brat and realize how bad it is). The game needs a lock on system where you can focus singular enemies.

    Side Missions and Progression:
    Overall progression in this game was not well thought out. Side missions are handed out constantly through phone calls and against your will with no way to deny them. Even from characters you have never met before who speak to you as if they know you (issue with Nomad/Street Kid/Corpo story continuity). This spams your journal with missions and becomes overwhelming. The main story is too short in comparison to the amount of side missions and gigs you can do. If you are a completionist or even half of one, you will find yourself leveling up fast but you make the main story missions trivial because you can finish the game at only level 20 (max level is 50). The mission difficulties ranging from very low to very high are sporadically scattered throughout the map and offer a mess of trying to manage when to take on certain enemies, missions, etc. Level scaling would fix these problems. Levels attached to enemies would also be helpful because either they have a red skull (very hard) above them or nothing. Some side missions are broken and cannot be started/finished such as the Distressed Man mission (which therefore restricted my access to a ripperdoc for the entire game).

    Main Story and Characters:
    This is the reason why I kept playing this game. You basically get to play a movie/Netflix series with wonderful characters, meaningful missions and relationships tied to them, character development, funny and surprising interactions, and a decent amount of impactful choices (although a lot of it is an illusion as it is with most RPG games). I loved doing the storylines for the characters you meet and the connections you build with them as a result. Most of them were satisfying and all of them were entertaining. The world building is fantastic and you can get lost in all of the lore delivered through dialogue or data shards.

    Final Thoughts:
    This game is plagued by way too many issues to be considered good or even acceptable on console. I want this game to succeed, it's why I played it for so long. But CDPR knew what they were doing when they obviously manufactured pre-release console gameplay in the shadiest of ways. It was unready and this is shown through the abysmal gameplay on all consoles except for the Xbox Series X and PS5. Even the most powerful console before Fall 2020 (Xbox One X) could not run this poorly optimized garbage well. The experience was below average thus it gets a 4/10.

    Pre-ordered, had my expectations in check, and knew what I was getting into.

    Nope.

    This game is a mess. I played it on the Xbox One X and it is a technical disaster. Do not buy this game. At some point it will likely be worth your money, but today is not that day.

    The release date quality of Cyberpunk 2077 on Xbox One is totally unacceptable. CD Projekt deserves to be ruined if they don't do something on the development side to fix this situation.

    I will get this out of the way at the top: without all the bugs and crashes and technical issues, I'd say this game would easily be a 9/10 or so. From the 2/3rds of the game I got to play that were almost bug free for me on the Series X, I was heavily drawn into the world and most of its characters, with a combat system that I personally enjoyed.

From the 2/3rds of the game I got to play that were almost bug free for me on the Series X, I was heavily drawn into the world and most of its characters, with a combat system that I personally enjoyed. Things like quests and the conversations had a very Skyrim feel to them and I really got invested in alot of the things that were happening. I really didnt like the main character, V, though as he really changes personalities from the main story missions and the side missions. They always felt like a gangster wannabe punk that I never gelled with at all. Also the AI for the enemies is just so bad. Never felt like they really understood anything they were supposed to do the entire game. Never really used cover or extra attacks unless they were specifically the hacker who was meant to do that. But those two things on their own wasnt enough to ruin the experience for me.
    Once I hit Act 3, my shiny almost bug free experience with the game went straight out the window. I once crashed 4 times in a row during the same mission, but not once at the same point, causing me to put it down for the day. The number of characters I saw in T-poses and glitching through doors and getting stuck in the air when they jumped just skyrocketed after I hit that point. It doesnt help either that Act 3 is literally 95% side missions with alot of the best ones in the entire game. They were the missions I had been actively trying to get to for most of the game, until the high amount of glitches took me out of it. I literally just tried to just finish up the main story missions a few minutes ago just to complete the game but it crashed twice on me before the final part. I think i'm done with this game until they fix this absolute mess. There's so much wrong here that I dont know if the 2 months worth of patches alone will fix this. And I cant even imagine someone who has a base Xbox 1 trying to even attempt to play this if it was this bad on a Series X. I gave it the score I did because I really did enjoy the parts I could play. But this deserves a 0 based on the lies CDPR spewed out before launch trying to just sell units. How disgraceful

    Sadly, I felt the need to revise this. After I posted it, it began crashing every 45 minutes. I gave up the third time I got shot into the skybox and all my auto saves were instantly over written. Almost 30% of skills/perks/upgrades/whatever don’t even work. We are coming up on a year since launch and the game is worse than it’s ever been. Stay far, far away.

    Below is my original review, which at this point sounds like an entirely different game.

    This score applies to the One X version, not base consiles. Bottom line...If you have an Xbox One X you’re fine. Game runs acceptably throughout, looks relatively good, though nowhere near what was accomplished in Gears 5 and Doom Eternal. Played for about 15 hours, I haven’t had a single crash. Yes, there are bugs, but none are game breaking so far. Story is decent, the world is well developed, the mechanics are fine, but there also isn’t anything groundbreaking or mind blowing. It’s a good game, but nothing is truly exceptional.

    That being said, if you have a base console, however, stay away. 15fps and 720p is unacceptable on every level.

    I almost wish I were under 17, so my parents could stop me from playing it, as I really do find it that boring. I get it, there are fans of the genre, and

    I get it, there are fans of the genre, and they’re probably not going to like this review, but I cannot believe I preorder this.

    The only bright spot at this point, is that I get a 2 week trial to HBO max, so I can watch Wonder Woman 1984 on Christmas Day... If not for that, I would chalk this up as a total loss.

    I have put around 20 hours in the game on Xbox One so far. While the game itself is good, last-gen console players will have a hard time experiencing it.

While the game itself is good, last-gen console players will have a hard time experiencing it. This game was not properly optimized for the consoles it was marketed on; I've never seen a game run so poorly in my life. FPS is usually around 20 - can dip as low as 15, graphics look muddy, blurry, and overall staticky, freezes and crashes are common, pop-ins and blurry textures are frequent, and this is not even counting the large amount of glitches that plague this game.

    I understand this game was not going to run amazingly on last-gen hardware, Xbox One and PS4 players were not expecting a 60FPS next-gen experience, I understand that this game is incredibly demanding and what CDPR set out to do was very ambitious. However, I expected the game to at least work decently, because it was advertised for Xbox One and PS4 consoles in the first place. The fact that CDPR purposely prevented any reviewers from playing the console versions exhibits false advertising in my opinion, they purposely hid the console gameplay because they knew how bad it was. This was a very low move for a company that many people praise as consumer-friendly.

    Like I said, the game itself is good. I've been trying to deal with the terrible performance and bugs, and I do see that CDPR has crafted a really great world here. The writing is great, the atmosphere is very intriguing, and the quests are fun. Although I can't give this game any higher than a 3 in its current state, there's a great game here but unfortunately last-gen console players (who either don't have the money to upgrade or simply can't find a console due to scalpers) are going to have to play it in a completely unoptimized state.

    Review:

    CDPR forgot they are actually making a game rather than a political statement.

    I will disregard the glitches which make it unplayable in its current form as they will find excuses on fixing this with a future patch. But I will concentrate on the main core of the game which is...it is boring. I am unable to connect with these characters, their motivations, their psyche, their raison d'etre. Why are they doing what they are doing? Why should I actually play the game? it is not fun. It is a flatline. Who wrote the dialogues and the main story line? Who were the voice actors? They are just reading from a script. Completely unbelievable and unable to impart any emotions.

    The choice of first person view was clearly the wrong one. At least when one attempts to drive a car. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

    I am giving 3 stars because I appreciate the effort put from many individuals (artwork, aesthetic choices) which however is not relfected in the final result and output. The main production team should so some soul searching/

    CDPR should imeediately withdraw the game from the XBoxOne series and offer a full refund to buyers or an equivalent Xbox Live token.

    CDPR concentrated on pleasing the SJW crouds with giving attention to pronouns, genre swapping, genitalia mods etc. This is the final result. Please stop playing politics in gaming and concentrate on gameplay. Otherwise you go broke. You are only as good as the last game you release. Your reputation is done for.

    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)
