Cyberpunk 2077

I write this review after my first playthrough and after solving almost all side-missions. I really love this game - mostly because of the incredible atmosphere, the great storywriting and the characters in the game. The developers paid a lot of attention to the details and sucessfully adapted the old Cyberpunk 2020 setting, which I played a lot as a pen and paper-RPG. The story is a bit dark for my taste, but that is suitable to the setting. Bugs: There are still a lot of bugs in the game, but until now, I found no game-breakers (patchlevel 1.12). However, one should save early and often and be prepared for occasional bugs such as "levitating" people or objects. Mechanics: The game system is a bit bland. I played a non-lethal stealthy netrunner and would have liked to have more quickhacks available. I really dislike driving, since cars react way too strongly to keyboard steering. This is perhaps easier with a controller. A mechanism which keeps your car on the road (such as in Witcher 3 while ridung) would have helped a lot. Performance: I played the game on a RTX 3070 with Full HD and raytracing+DLSS activated and found it completely acceptable. However, as a player I am not focused on having high framerates, so this is just my subjective impression. I tested the game on a old 1060 and it was still playable, but looked of course much worse. Story and atmosphere: Again, concerning story, atmosphere and acting this game is one of the best I ever played. I assume that players expecting a first person-shooter will be disappointed, since the focus of the game is not solely on fighting. I never played GTA but guess that it is not like GTA, since the main focus of the game are story and missions. However, if you like lovable and strange characters, a strong story and a setting with a lot of unique details, this game may be made for you.

Mind blowing story, graphic as well but I believe it's depending of individual player set. Driving mode not the best but it's not what is very important here. Of course there are some bugs. but I prefer to play a game which pull me in like a hoover for whole days than flat but perfectly polished up title. Cyberpunk sucked me in for whole week, don't recommend if you have a wife, kids, gf etc. they will be jealous and you will have to choose between them and the game haha. Enjoy :) I'm waiting for more, maybe some better scenario for V than only another 6 months...

First of all, Cyberpunk 2077 is my first experience with the Cyberpunk genre. I find the lore and the cast of characters interesting and it hits a lot in the gut due to some issues address in the game. What I enjoyed: > I enjoyed the various options presented to me when addressing enemies. I mostly do the hacking route that was so much fun. > Interesting cast of characters that your V met throughout their journey through Night City. I really love the backstories behind each characters. What I think needs improvement: >Unequal screen time with some of the characters. One example in general: River Ward's character mission. Among the romance options in game, River's mission is very short compare to the other RO in general. Although I find his route interesting and wholesome, I expected some more mission to cultivate their relationship (whether platonic or otherewise). It only took (iirc) three or four missions before River and V to get together (or become BFFs) which is just too abrupt. The love at first sight trope is over done if that what your writers intended to do and I much prefer that River's route was given much care as Judy's, Panam's and Kerry's route. I hope this gets improved in the expansion. >Lack of character customization (editing what your V looked like) and at least an upgrade of your apartment would be an addition especially the former during the initial launch of the game. I does get tiresome to restart when you find out that the eyes or nose you have chosen doesn't feel right. I do still look forward to the expansions especially the story related ones because I hope V could continue their own journey.

I played this almost at release and was immediately hooked - which was a pain because it was barely playable. In spite of this, i finished it several times before the current patch. That was stupid, off course, but we all do stupid stuff in the name of pleasure. Now it plays like a breeze and you'll be happy to buy it at 20 dollars less than i paid and be pleased by a work of art.

never got launch, terrible situation, dont buy this one, the gog launcher it never works for this game
