Cyberpunk 2077

Even after the patch 2.0 still buggy as hell.

Bought Day 1. Was looking forward exploring a world where the metal melded with the meat. Played from the pen and paper CP2013 days. This should have been called Solo 2077. That's what V is, no matter the development direction you take. All gameplay centres around doing jobs as a hired gun, nothing more. "Netrunning" as it stands is nothing more than scripting, which considering how hacking was handled in System Shock and Shadowrun, really disappointing. All the other roles are restricted to NPC's I returned recently with the release of Phantom Liberty, to more disappointment. Of all the frustrating parts of 2077, most of which have been ongoing since release, vehicles are likely the most openly lacking. In a nutshell, the physics are trash making the vehicles nigh on uncontrollable, more so as you get larger vehicles. That said, it's graphically impressive, the sound design is sweet and even the fan service of drafting Keanu in as that flamingo (in game joke) Johnny Silverhand wasn't terrible, but it does have the feel of a distraction. In future I'm looking at modding, maybe that'll chip in to something that doesn't have the feel of a fan service rebuild.

Missing almost all of the features shown in the trailers. Very little in the way of customization, inventory gets cluttered with junk "loot", no transmog system, no vehicle customization, V is a vampire (ray tracing yet the main character is never shown in a reflection....), AI is busted, no car chases, cant interact with very many NPC's, world feels dead outside of main story quests

Review breakdown: Graphics: 4/5. The game looks amazing. The city is breathtaking with a ridiculous attention to detail, however, there's noticeable repetition, but the same can be said about any city, real life or fictional. NPCs look amazing, and are well detailed. I've experienced some graphical errors, but nothing game breaking; some texture tearing, NPC's loading in after I get to the area, NPC's disappearing on double takes, etc, but that is to be expected in a big game. Overall, graphics are good and I get reasonable performance on a mid tier gaming PC. Gameplay: 2/5 The gameplay feels very...rough. Driving is terrible. The driving in this game feels wrong. Cars handle like crap and damage is very unrealistic - I hit a guardrail head on at over 100 and just bounced off like a rubber ball when my car should of exploded or disintegrated. The gunplay...very mediocre. The cover system is unreliable and enemies are bullet sponges, even at low difficulty. Walking and running seems fine, but the controls needed a lot of fine tuning to get to that point. AI:. 1/5 What AI? This is my biggest gripe. There is no AI. Enemies run in circles around you with no intelligence or plan. Pedestrians have no collision and clip all the time (walk through me, my car or walls), and conversations with non-story NPC's are useless. Cars drive on rails, their drivers just stare when you point a gun at them, and don't care if you shoot their car. Cops teleport in whenever you break the law...they literally spawn in front of you. The lack of NPC intelligence is the most immersion breaking thing for me. Story/Voice acting: 4/5. Excellent story so far, voice acting is on par with Rockstar stuff. No major problems here. Not sure how far I'll get with the game in its current state as I just don't have fun right now... Overall: 2/5 It needs work. It should have had more time in dev. I hope it follows NMS and gets better, but its not what I call "amazing" right now. Give it some time.

Everything was said already by others. I expected much more from you CDPR, hugely disappointed by how the game runs. Next time I wont jump on hype train, its better to wait these days and save money instead. The game might be good, but not now, it needs a lot more work. Shame.
