Cyberpunk 2077

game concept was great but very poorly realized

As of this review, Cyberpunk 2077 is as unplayable, or worse, than "The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall" was when it came out years ago. I waited from September to March to buy Cyberpunk after hearing about how buggy it was. Got it on sale, and figured I'd give it some more time still even after that. Well, I finally tried to start playing it in May with a clean install of version 1.22. Initially, it crashed after about 10-20 minutes intervals, which got me through the intro and into Night City, but it increased to the point where it crashes to desktop after 30 seconds. This is a self-built Ryzen / RTX 3060 / 64gb ram / Seasonic Gold PSU / reliable HDD that works with the majority of games. I tried all the fixes I could find, but nothing seems to help. My solution was to uninstall it and play "Deus Ex: Mankind Divided", which also is in my backlog, and a similar style game, but is playable. I will try Cyberpunk again in a few years. It's been reported in the news that the devs abandoned bug fixes in favor of new content, so hopefully the modder community will fix it eventually. It's disappointing that a AAA game is left in such an unplayable state in the year 2021.

They can patch the performance of this game until the end of time, but no patch will make it anything more than a repetitive, by-the-numbers piece of edgelord fan-fiction that dodges all the satire and social commentary of its source-material until its greatest achievement is in how forgettable it is to play. Imagine what else could have been done with the money they spent on this utterly unremarkable product.

This is essentially go to point A shoot people talk to a charachter who sends you to point B shoot more people. The crowds are just terrible, I watched an NPC walk up and down on an endless loop. The police jobs are done terrible, you clear the danger and the cops are still hiding in the same spot. And the car handling is atrocious. Please dont buy this game at full price.

A grand projectthat trips on itself by its own faults, is like the meme of the kid in the bike that himself puts a pipe on the weels and falls. Cyberpunk world is an interesting world, somewhat like blade runner-ish but set in a world that the future its owned by private corportations and the government, well, they are on their bare bones but with almost no flying cars that you can drive in which i dont care. At the start you begin in a semi linear story and is closed in to a section of the city, once you finish that part you will see the entire city and outskirts open up and we have the end in which it somewhat branches out depending on how you want the story to end. The main story is ok, some of the characters are neat and is fun to see Keanu in its rebel rock terrorist side in action, plus you get to do many things in different areas with different protagonists in which will give you plenty to do, but heres a flaw, once the world open, it tends to spread a little bit too thin, in which at least 2/3 of the other quests are fine while others arent even worth it. Plus dialogue in some cases are above average in which doesnt bring any impact or some events that were awesome specially one that i had to attack a rogue cybergirl that brought some sense of horror and weirdness Music presentation is good in its way but not my type in which i just turned off the radio and the music for the combat... im split since i ended up lowering the volume because repeating the same theme over and over became annoying. Mechanics and presentation, controls are not the bext in pc and didnt had a better flow, i finished the game on patch 1.5.2 if im not mistaken... there were a lot of improvements but still carrying in the computre a new CPU and a good GPU RTX card, there were still bugs and for the engine to be able to carry the game, they cut a lot , even there places that there were no one in it. Still police was broken and missing a lot after launch.
