Cyberpunk 2077

It's far from the RPG I expected following The Witcher series. It seems like they tried doing too much and couldn't make a super deep branching story that everyone had expected. The game is good for what it is if you look past the bugs/glitches (even an enormous amount of bugs following patch 1.2). I do really like the presentation, the story, graphics, sound design and weapons. Driving is fine, not the greatest. RPG mechanics and character customization should be fleshed out a bit more and tweaked to impact gameplay better. I play this type of game for the story and it does a great job at that even if it is linear with little choice. Hopefully if they can smooth out all the bugs, they will mess with more of the systems and make them better. But I won't hold my breath. Just fixing bugs is the main thing i'd like to see. Must suck being a dev grunt for CDPR right now. I feel bad for them having to go through all of this just because management apparently screwed up big time. I'm rooting for you guys, just please don't abandon Cyberpunk.

It is perfect? No. It is worthy of 5 stars for sticking out? Yes. +++ Some of the best specific scenes in a video game. The funeral. Specific conversations. Night scapes. Writing is good good good for a shooter. Actors are top notch. Music is amazing. Voice acting and concept are amazing AFTER FIRST 2 HOURS. The lead in story is a bit flat, which is not the way to do things. The game itself is fun, but set to easy and enjoy the ride. It does not feel like a game you want to spend 30+ hours mastering. Most of the bugs for PC are fixed now, so it didn't bother me. --- Biggest downside was the lack of immersion. So, so pretty to look at. Each NPC on the streets is just a cookie cutter which was disappointing. However, I got more into this game than most games I played in the last 3-4 years, I played to the end and loved the ending, couldn't put it down, so I say that is a 5 star moment.

As someone that was there from the original teaser trailer to having played through the game more than once, we were initially promised the world in terms of features but with each delay, my hype was tempered and died down to expect something....more realistic given the size of the studio behind it. That said, my first playthrough of the game had me hook until I finished it. The music, the characters and the way the story and endings are handled are great and were more than enough to carry me through the first playthrough and be initially satisfied by it. However, on a second playthrough, you come to realize just how much the "game" itself is pretty lackluster. The "life paths" are actually just a short 10-to-15 minute intro before you come to the same starting point as the other life paths. All the freedom and customization that was promised initially is baically paper-thin and doesn't actually matter at all. The gunplay is bland at best and really interacting with the main cast of characters is the only thing worth going back for; although I have to admit that the game's "true ending" was also a very strong point and made the other endings look weak by comparison.

When I play the game first time, not long ago after the release, I had a lot of expectation. After a full playthrough (child of the street), I had a strange feeling. Get a great time, but... But?! Hard to tell exactly what I feel, english is not my native language, still i'll try. I go into Cyberpunk, with the ambition to play a "gta like" rpg, mixed with some Deus Ex, and because it was not enough, thinking about Witcher's series and his powerfull characters. With all that in mind, I rushed the game, go straight for the win, wanted to see everything, but fast, wanted to be surprised at every corner. And I finished the game. The story was great, the outcome was great, I loved the characters especially, but still get the feeling to have missed something. So I wait, almost one year, and start again, another run (badland raider). But this time, I was prepared. I know this game was not a gta like, not Deus Ex, and not the Witcher either. The first personn view, the choice to make your own character, I get it. I played an immersive simulation rpg. So I build my character, his story, and stick to it. Make choices in accordance with him, fights, talks, everything. And everything was better. The story go into a total another dimention, other characters and possible love story too, and at the end of the game, the end of the story of my character was perfect. The feeling! I played 188 hours, probably more in the futur (want to make a corpo run one day), and regret nothing. Yes, some bugs (not a lot for me, luckily, and only one huge for the story), yes some background about the company (but today, one of the few to work on it), but for me, little gamer, a real, freeking good feeling experience, so thanks!

I got the game about a month and half ago and up to now there is no killer bugs that keeps me from enjoying the game, just little glitch here and there and it crashed only once in more than 127 hours of game play. The only thing is that sometimes the quick save does not seem to work but I just save manually. My specs amd 3700x, rtx 2060 6GB, at high and it runs very smooth at 1080p 60FPS no overclocking. P.S. Take your time, go explore, take it easy, don't do the main stories too fast, I think I must be between 30-40% of the main story done and there is still a lot more side mission to be done.
