Cyberpunk 2077

I bought CP on day of release and went went through the prologue in the night the game got unlocked, and I had my fun. I spent the following week putting my free time into this game and enjoyed exploring Night City and the occasional T-posing NPC or car emerging from the ground rather entertained than bothering me. Running around town and looking for side quests is fun, but suffers from the obligatory open-world sidequest dilemma of 60% being boring filler mission, whilst the other 40% almost deserve their own main plot. Leading us to one of CP's biggest problems, the plot itself. Despite being full of plotholes (especially in the prolog), the story itself is very simply, you are terminally ill and desperately looking for a cure. Sounds simple, sounds good, but when the story comes to execution the games fails to find its balance between saying too much and saying too little, while talking far too much for the most time. This problem becomes especially obvious when going through the game a second time, as you will find yourself stuck in a conversation that takes up to 5 minutes, even though you are skipping through the whole dialogue. On the other handside you also got parts, when you don't want to skip even though you heard the conversation thrice already (I am thinking of Johnny and V talking about what they do and what will remain of them somewhere near a landfill on the roadside). Another plot-problem is its linearity. The games can end in more than 6 different ways (if I remember correctly) but what happens up until the endig is almost irrelevant. Before starting the final mission you are given a choice on how you want to approach, resulting in an ending often also giving you a yes/no choice kind of option. Wether you played the game as a bully, lunatic, kind guy, smart guy, dumb guy or whatsoever doesn't matter. Since I am running out of place to write, I am gonna keep the rest short: The game world is beautiful, but empty The gunplay is there Buy on sale

It's 2024, the game has been out for 4 years. And while they've done a lot to improve it, which is commendable, it's still got some fundemental problems. Even after multiple patches calling out keybindings, and as of patch 2.12, you still cannot bind all keys... This blows my mind, this was a solved issue in the games of the early 2000s.

In short, Cyberpunk 2077 went from a 4/5 game to a 2/5 game The game has received some changes with the 2.0 update and DLC, which unfortunately greatly disrupt the fun of the game, which is a shame because I really enjoy playing cyberpunk. On the one hand, there are no more grenades and Maxdocs to buy, which means you only have 2 of both and have to wait for a new time, estimated at around 40 seconds, which can make the game very difficult in some situations and thus turns the fun you should have with the game into work please patch it back to the old system so it's a lot less fun now. A change that I don't like either, but it's not that bad, is the change to the NCPD's siren, which now sounds like a container ship signal that's about to break.

Let’s be real: this game isn’t about freedom of choice. You can sneak, hack, or go in guns blazing — but the world barely reacts. Whether you're playing a total pacifist or a one-person army, it changes almost nothing. 🤷‍♀️ There are no real faction dynamics, no way to truly align with or change the world around you. You don’t get to join a gang, build long-term trust, or shift power — which is disappointing, especially considering how older games like Dragon Age or Mass Effect already pulled that off years ago. 🐉🚀 The emotional moments hit hard only if you're already invested. The romance routes feel uneven — some characters have rich stories, others feel rushed or neglected. A lot of NPCs act like they care, but in the end, V is mostly alone. And yes, I had bugs and two full crashes, even now. 🪲💥 Despite all this? The world-building, visuals, and soundtrack are top-tier. Night City is still one of the most atmospheric settings I’ve experienced in a while — neon, grime, beauty, and decay all in one place. 🌃💀✨ 📌 TL;DR: If you love open-world immersion and dystopian melancholy, there’s a lot to admire. But if you're craving consequence-driven storytelling and truly dynamic choices, keep your expectations in check. Buy it on sale, enjoy the ride, and know what you’re getting into. 🛠️

Honestly, I am a little bit disappointed, I expected soo much more. The game is not able to catch me, I am bored with a quest log full of things to do, but I feel no motivation on these missions. Everything feels extremely out of place, not personal, generic. I've read that all the magazines praise the story and the quest design like in TW3, but imho Cyberpunk does not reacch this level, its not even close to TW3 in terms of story and quest design, in my opinion. After 6 hours nothing motivates me to continue playing, I really had very high hopes the game would catch me like TW3 did and throw me into a unforgetable story full of remarkable characters. Mh, think I pause this game for a while and try a secound time in some weeks or months.
