Cyberpunk 2077

The experience of playing this game falls very short of what was promised in the promotional material leading up to its release. It is clear that much content was cut out. The bugs, the AI (or lack thereof), the lack of meaningful interactions or choices, all of these things have already been pointed out in lots of other reviews. I am glad that I have the hardware to play the game on maximum graphics quality though, because at least the city is amazingly detailed and hauntingly beautiful, even in its dystopian ugliness. I am a huge fan of Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell, and also vaporwave music. I love walking around Night City (with a controller, because using a keyboard I cannot *not* run (the awkward keyboard controls are another example of the lack of polish) with some vaporwave music in the background. I really have to give the world designers credit for their work in this game, because it absolutely nails the atmosphere present in the aforementioned movies and music style. Perhaps it is only fitting that there is no interaction to be had with any people in the city (other than one of the few standard lines of dialogue that they repeat over and over): loneliness and alienation is a defining characteristic of the cyberpunk and vaporwave genre. This game is style over substance: A beautifully crafted world that is squandered by bog standard gameplay.

Game generally gives off an unfinished, buggy and released-way-to-early-for-christmas-business vibe. NPCs don't react if you steal from them or throw things at them, and generally behave immersion-breakingly dull. The police spawning mechanism is beyond silly. Absolutely unbelievable and immersion-breaking. Undestroyable cars (no matter how much the damage) and suddenly magically self repairing cars also feel wrong. Collision detection is buggy in all aspects and places of the game. Pickup-able items (consumables, with an icon and description and so on) sometimes cant be picked up from the floor.

The game is complete trash full of bugs. Sure, enviromenet is amazing, but everytime you quit game you have to adjust your settings again, because its set into default mode. So change langue, change graphic options. Not mentioning that sometimes when you change langue the game crash. I really regret buying this game, if devs release game in this state. Next time I wount spent money on something like this. Thanks CD Project. Played 6hours so far and did not enjoyed. Not worth the money (at least PC version). Wait few months for purchase, dont buy now. Iam really sad and mad that game like this was released in complete unplayable state.

The game needs more polishing. Not to be too critical but honestly I would have accepted if they delayed the release even further instead of releasing a hot mess.

This game has no speciality, nothing that will make me like it or remember it, just a nice open world, which feels like a shiny golden box, but empty
