Cyberpunk 2077

Doesn't matter how imperfect the game is. There're tonns of "but", megatonns of broken wet dreams ...but not of mine! I adore the game! Its atmosphere is fantastic. Sound and music keep me always immersed. The storyline purely explodes my brain. With the patch 1.2 my game experience boosted. I wish all the best to CDProject, especially with polishing and further development of the game. BTW, my PC config is quite average, so i still can't see the game in its sweetest. i5 6500, GeForce GTX1060 6gb, RAM 16gb, SSD M.2

As I type this review, I have over 40 hours as per the GOG Galaxy Client. Hopefully that will add some weight to what I am trying to say. Originally, I had pre-ordered the moment the pre-orders opened. Then, I watched as the released date kept getting postpone. something about their marketing and online reviews did not seem to add up. I cancelled my pre-order, and turns out, I was right. The game was in bad shape. Eventually, I saw the updates and found Patch 1.2 promising. Further, I upgraded my PC to SSD. This is a key step in enjoying this game. As of now, my PC is running GTX 1060 6 GB. I am playing at 1080p with High settings. Okay, so, the game itself, I am enjoying it. 40 hours in, I have found very little bugs. For instance, this one time, this character Panama, got her head stuck to her left for the entire 5 minute section of the game. Sometimes, I cannot run at all. I can only walk. Most of the time though, saving and reloading, solves majority of issues. Also, yes, the game does have this 'delayed' appearance problem. every now and then, the gun takes a few seconds to materialize. NPCs and vehicles take a second to materialize. Not all the time, happens enough to be noticeable. Other than this, I have run into no other issues. I find the game a lot of fun to play. The story is good. side missions are good. The gun play, I am actually enjoying it. It's really fun getting into shootouts. I especially love the photo mode. The game is so beautiful, even at 1080p, I keep getting lost in the sights. A lot of times, I just drive around or walk around, just looking at the city and buildings the markets and the people. Thanks to some sale, I only paid some 35 dollars for this. For 35 dollars, this is an amazing game. In my eyes, CD Projekt have done a decent job. Looking forward to DLCs.

I holded off from bying this game for until it went for 30 Euro on Black Friday, a year later after it's release. Some bugs still exist, but it is obvious that CDPR is working on a prioritized list ordered from game Breaking to visual. Characters sometimes drag along car doors and garbage around, some awkward moving through spaces, faceplanting NPCs, multiple same models in the same area. But I never had to reload a save to fix a bug to unblock progression, so... you can end the Game as it is now. When you approach the end of the story, visual bugs appear more often, this points out to how CDPR prioritizes bug fixing outside the main quest as well. That said, a Year Later... the Game iss on a Minimum Viable Product state where tons of features feel stuck in a backlog and the full potential of the Game Engine capabilities are yet to be unfold. Driving... feels sooo awkwardright now, i am glad it is not needed a lot. Reading through the progress the dev team made, the investement in Time, and how CP2077 became an example to avoid by other companies, i expect those missing features will come eventually, now through way more carefull expectation handling and test. In it's current state 4 stars reflect the value i got for the money i payed. If i had to pay the full 60, i'd be puthing it on the 3 - 3.5 range, mainly because it is Technically impressive, and I can definitely see that most of the bugs relate to the unrestricted power of the Game Engine, but we, as Players needed to see a finished Product, which is yet to come. This game is still a good addition to anyone that is into Cyberpunk mentality, and is still alive, but If CDPR decides to go full Deaf on Developer's and QA Engineers again, it will only end up much less than it could have been...

Full of bug

At the time of this review I have about 17 hours in Cyberpunk and am still fairly early in the main story. I really like this game. To give you an idea of the types of games I have enjoyed in the past, I like Skyrim, Fallout 4, the Deus Ex games (Human Revolution and Mankind Divided). Of these, I've probably put the most hours into Fallout 4. Cyberpunk gives me a similar vibe as Fallout 4. Cyberpunk takes it all up a notch though. The melee combat feels much better than Fallout 4 (at least from what I remember). I recently played Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and while CP2077 is not as in depth on it's swordplay as Sekiro, I do get similar vibes from CP2077, which was a huge surprise for me. There are still some stability issues though. In the first two hours I had two minor glitches (a NPC T-posing and Jackie walking through a bookshelf). In the first ten-ish hours I had at least three crashes, one to desktop and two BSODs (Blue Screen of Death). So far I am really enjoying this game. The story, atmosphere, and gameplay of Cyberpunk are quite a bit better than I thought, given all the negativity I've been hearing about the game after it was released way too early. TLDR; Great game, still stability issues.
