Cyberpunk 2077

This game is an "immersive" "open world" "RPG". Those are all in quotes because in a decade of development nobody opened a dictionary and looked up what those words meant. Immersive? If you're into watching people talk at you for five minutes at a time (seriously, someone was a bit too in love with their overly wordy dialog), then sure. Open world? If you consider a huge map with very little to do in it an open world, then sure. RPG? If you consider just barely qualifying as not being on rails and constantly watching you character do something you wouldn't during a cutscene, then sure. Aside from that, the game is very pretty. Or, it would be, if it didn't have terrible lighting. The action isn't any fun either, because a decade was apparently not long enough to polish the mechanics. The driving works about as well as the gunplay, as well. But hey, let's all celebrate the fact that you can be transgendered, because that will never matter in the game at all. In short, if you enjoy watching a game try it's hardest to be a movie about conversations, then this is the game for you. If you can get past all the technical issues and bugs, that is.

The game had a lot of potential and the graphics looks amazing, but the story, side-quests and overall quality makes you think that the game was just badly planned. The city is dead, the interactions are very controlled and artificial. The gameplay itself feels clunky, shooting, driving, inventory management. I can't recommend this game, sorry.

PC specs: GTX 1080, 6700K@4GHz, 16GB 3200MHz, SSD, Win10 Played v1.06. Refunded after 25hrs. For so many, CDPR had the MOST HYPED game, a great reputation coming from TW3’s success. They could have postponed the release until it was ready and was WHAT HAD BEEN ORIGINALLY PROMISED. It could have been the go to for cyberpunk escapism! What we got was more of a lazy dump than I could have imagined… a spewed out mess nothing like the original vision. Score breakdown, starting from 0 stars: +5) Great reason NOT to upgrade to a non-existent GPU. +0.5) Good atmosphere. +0.25 Some memorable characters. +0.15) Sound design is ok. +0.1) Good as a giant turd-sandwich example of how NOT to release an alpha. -1) NOT an RPG, despite a few RPG elements! -1) Story/ending done poorly. -0.5) Combat system is sub-par. 0) Driving physics are abysmal. -0.25) “Parkour” non-existent. -0.5) NPCs are unfinished. -0.25) Character creation is mostly meaningless. -0.5) City looks great, feels lifeless. 0) Story choices have little consequence. -0.5) Sexy time content is mostly missing & V’s apartment is very half-assèd (minus the “âss”). -0.5) Upgrade system is a chore & best stat gear ends up ugly. 0) Very unoptimized bugfest. 0) Tries hard to ride the celebrity train to stardom, despite an unlikeable Silverhand. 0) Bonus political agenda. 0) Shoulda been developed for PC first. 0) Hopefully mods will fix this game. This was a disaster from the start of release and an insult to gamers. Why such a good score on GoG? Apparently anything shiny keeps the sheeple wetting themselves. All the patches in the world won’t save this. It needs a rework of many systems in the game. If you know nothing of this game or the ex-hype surrounding it, played every game in your library and are a masochist (with a very beefy PC), get it on a good sale. Otherwise, if you’re not a complete downy and enjoy life, avoid it like leprosy! CDPR: Putting the “Gotcha, PUNK!” into “Cyberpunk”.

Gameplaywise, it's witcher 3. Same gameplay style, lots of dialog lines, lots of quests, lots of cutscenes, ok horse riding = driving and kinda-feels-off-but-ok combat. Timed options in dialogues, bribes, abilities, etc, etc. Most buildings and NPCs are just for decoration, like it was in Withcer 3. So, basically, not much new. But! The world itself is new, and it's big, and it's as fun to explore, as it was in witcher 3. But on the technical state.... Oh boy. It's borderline scamming. When official system requirements SO FAR AWAY from reality, ti's a scam. Because you tricked people into buying a game by giving then false information about performance level they will achieve. And I don't even mention poor consoles. On top of that, there are graphical glitches, floating objects, unpickable items, stragne AI behavior, sound glitches and cut-outs. Some items don't even want to render on character model in inventory. UI is bad. Default keyboard controls are bad. Some essential things are absent: no in-game character customisation, you stuck with what you have choosen in the beginning. I feel like there where even bigger plans about world design, but they were cut off in the end. Well, that's not a bad thing. But game feels raw, very raw. It will probably be GOTY 2021, but right now in many aspects game feels like early access.

The game has several problems, not only bugs, looting system is boring, side quests are repetitive, city is dead, NPCs and cars don't have any AI just some paths. NPCs don't have any interesting dialog or options, stores are very basic. Crafting is very generic and not even worth, hacks are very basic and generic, perks are a joke like "3% more dmg". Enemies are just dmg sponges The game is even "cyberpunk" there are some basic ideas at the beginning of the game but then its just a generic futuristic scenario. There are some core problems of the game, I don't think it will be fixed in at least 2 years. The main history is interesting, but not enough to justify the game right now.
