    Cyberpunk 2077's ultimate console version reaffirms the splendid storytelling, exceptional city-building and varied gameplay of the original game, while also being more polished, enriched and finally featuring performance and visuals worthy of new consoles. There is no shortage of smears and residual issues, but it still stands as an excellent first-person RPG, set in a fascinating retro-sci-fi world full of things to do and compelling stories to live. Definitely a must-have.

    Cyberpunk 2077 on Xbox Series X|S takes a very good but very familiar shooter RPG system and gameplay, and layers this incredibly designed world over it.

    Thanks to its upgrade, Cyberpunk 2077 finally offers a gaming experience on PS5 and Xbox Series at the height of what it should have been at its launch in December 2020. More beautiful, more stable and better optimized than in backward compatibility : those who had waited for the next-gen patch will finally be able to enjoy the adventure in good conditions. But beyond these technical considerations, if patch 1.5 brings some welcome adjustments (more responsive crowd, improved but still perfectible driving and ergonomics...), the title remains globally identical to the PC version despite a less impressive visual rendering. More than a year after its release, Cyberpunk 2077 remains an RPG with a fascinating universe and impeccable writing that remains plagued by immersion-breaking bugs and an artificial intelligence that falls short. Now that CD Projekt has finally honored its promises, we can't wait to see what the Polish studio has in store for the future of its futuristic open-world with new DLCs.

    Cyberpunk 2077’s long-awaited next-gen console update is here, and the extended wait looks to have been worth it. The Performance Mode corrects all of the poor frame-rate issues in one fell swoop, not to mention the several thousand bug fixes that 14-months and change can bring. There’s even some new stuff to discover, from the ability to purchase/rent apartments to an overhaul of enemy AI. As a reboot of sorts it’s by no means perfect, but it’s now a great foundation on which to deliver more Night City stories.

    CDPR with Cyberpunk 2077 is to create an almost unique immersive feeling where you can experience in first person Night City. With the next-gen patch, many of the countless game-breaking bugs have disappeared. But not all of them. The experience still has important flaws. Besides, it still doesn't have a decent police search system. All in all, this is undoubtedly the best version of the game, and everything good it did at launch is now much better. Adding that it finally feels like the ARPG it should have been at launch.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Disclaimer: The review was written for PC version before patch 1.5 (even though it was played on XSX, that would have been ridiculous to give the XONE version a 9 mark as the last-gen version is abysmal). After several hours in 1.5 patch I can say that I was closer to handing a 10 mark, as the game feels even better and the patch was certainly a "breakeven" point for CDPR and I personally believe that the game will grow in future months, so maybe the first DLC will receive a 10 from me :)

    Cyberpunk 2077 after all of those patches feels like a wonderful game. The messy launch undermined the public image of this entry, which in 2022 is worth finishing. There are still some bugs that can be ridiculous, but the story is worth it. The CDPR's storywriters delivered it once again - the story is mature and sometimes it even feels to mature for a video game - instead of a typical happy ending the player is left with a disappointment (in a positive meaning - the game simply leaves the player with the feeling that all of the efforts made in order to save V were pointless).
    The location of CBP2077 - Night City is easily one of the best locations in the video games ever made - the city is complex and immersive (the technological issues and programming mistakes, however, affect this negatively) - the game creates a highly dystopian world that can amaze on the first sight, but later resonates with a player which may feel sorrow and disgust related to the hierarchy of this highly capitalistic world.
    Gameplay has some flaws and is the component that forces me to drop the mark - some aspects of the game are simply illogical or poorly done (f.e. the police and chase system which is bad).
    To conclude, the game is a worthy experience and can be definitely recommended new-gen players after the patch.
