Cyberpunk 2077

Let's get the Pink Elephant in the room out of the way first: The game is marred by technical issues and didn't deliver what was promised on many fronts. And I'm not excusing any of those. If you come in expecting the game they've advertised, you'll be sorely disappointed. This feels like a game that wasn't what they initially intended to make. With that said, they did deliver a nice game. When it works, that is. Personally, I haven't had as many issues as people have reported, so I can say my experience with it has been good. The visuals are gorgeous. Soundtrack is full of bangers. Plot goes to some interesting places and, Like Witcher 3, the meat of it lies in the sidequests. GTA this is not. Night City was never intended to be a sandbox playground you can get lost in and lead a second virtual life or go nuts and blow everything up. This place was built to tell a story, and you have to pay attention to fully appreciate it. And above all, the game is subtle. Your choices DO impact your journey. But don't expect a dialogue wheel with obvious branching choices or a little pop up saying "X person will remember that". Instead, finding a hidden clue in a unassuming place can be the difference between solving a serial murder case or it ending in tragedy. combat is serviceable. Nothing mindblowing. But I did have fun breaking the difficulty in several ways and does its job well enough in carrying you through conflicts. It has a lot of room for improvements, so I hope they make use of it with the expansions and DLC. Aaaand fix the things that aren't currently working. Ironically enough, it is the parts it tried to take from Witcher 3 that ended up hurting it for me in the end. To name a few: Inventory and loot system: It was already the weakest part of Witcher 3, undermining immersion and RPG mechanics, and Cyberpunk 2077 only exarcebates it. And summoning your vehicle like Roach sounds good on paper, but it was often the source of (sometimes hilarious) glitches.

I recently replayed Cyberpunk and it is still full of bugs and crashes randomly. The game world is complete lifeless and I stopped playing after a few hours as I honesty found the game boring as I had already played the full story. There is no complexity in story line and it just becomes rinse and repeat. Such a waste of a potentially amazing game world. Do not buy.

cd project red use to be the company to look up to....they gained everyone's trust and love for the gaming industry. They were the only AAA game companies to be loyal to all gamers and always give the highest quality in their games. Witcher 3 was and will always be one if not the best game I have ever played. Their dlc's set high standards to what dlc should be set at. With over 10 hrs each, and competing against full priced games. After all these years of waiting for cyberpunk 2077, during a pandemic year, this was the one game to bring us all back together and remember why cd project red was the true king in single player games. But holly crap did they shoot themselfs in the foot. The game being buggy ass hell isnt just a major issue, but the fact that they released an unfinished game, with cut content, that's what gets me....after all the high they themselfs created, at the end of the day they showed their true face. They showed us who they really are and what really matters to them. Thanks to cd project red, I will never pre order games. And most of all, I wont ever get excited for a game even if it's been years in development, as cd project red have showed that working on a game more than 7 years really doesnt matter because you dont know how much work the devs actually put into it. After all the hype man, what pisses me off is they lied to us....this game was suppose to be open on decision making like fallout new vegas was years ago....and they couldnt even do that....

The store page advertise V's shooting from a car in GIF. But you cannot do that in game.

It's a 'late to the party' review, so i missed a lot of the contraversy of the initial release. It's a shame as this is a really good and unique game. Just getting lost in Night City and seeing the amount of detail there is a pleasure in itself. I played though a very different game that the one the ealier reviews of this game talk about. I honestly hope more people try or revisit this title as it would be too sad if it's only remembered for the initial release and not what it became after all the work the devs have put in to make it the Night City people hoped for.
