Cyberpunk 2077

I felt that the main story was a bit short when I finished the main story in about 12 hours. Having said that, I had not played that many side quests besides from almost finishing the Panam and Lucy quest lines. Frankly, however, the side quests did not seem to be that interesting. While there seems to be much more to do in terms of side quests I felt that the main story fell short of providing the overall game experience with a greater sense of depth. Thankfully I was spared from most of the reported bugs in the game while still encountering a few though no game breaking ones.

This game at current state patch 1.04 is a buggy unbalanced mess. Could write a wall of text but let´s keep it short. If you are like "job/hiob" you could like several aspects of this game like, art design, sound, maybe the story, the possibilities the game gives you with gameplay, on the other hand after some hours of gaming there would be several thinks you´ll notice that there is something wrong like, ai, balance, several graphical and sound glitches. Buy and don´t refund if you have faith, if not, stay the heck away from this game!

Initially only experienced minor bugs (ex. floating drinks or food items and clunky AI/NPCs) and really enjoyed the overal scene and amazing visual experience. These minor issues didn't take away the amazement over Night City's scenery and lore. However, the fun only lasted until running into bugged missions that couldn't be finished or NPCs killing you by glitching through walls and obstacles. The worst bug is that our primary character had about +- 10 hours of playtime when we decided to also start a second character. Turns out all of the previous autosaves are overwritten (without warning) and you'll lose all your progress you had on another character. Now we'll have to manually create backups of the save game directory every time we stop playing, just to be safe. At least, when we decide to start playing again after future patches are released.

Aside bugs, the game is missing bunch of the core gameplay mechanics - customization of your character (barbershops etc) and the car (no garages), absolutely broken the police system, very poor realization of the reputation system, missing AI of the traffic and NPCs, etc... Visual is awsome, though. Not 1 star, but 2 - only for the visual and music.

I've been excited for Cyberpunk 2077 for a while. It's a setting I enjoy, in a genre I enjoy, from a developer I trusted. However, CDPR should've just yanked the release date, gone heads down, and worked on this game for at least another 6 months. It's a sprawling, wonderfully entertaining action RPG/shooter that has moments when it shines, and moments when I just need to take a break. Some features seem like they were just starting to be implemented when this was released. I think the most glaring example of this is the police/wanted system. It seems like if you do something illegal, the police psychically learn about it for the most part, and then teleport out of thin air all around you to try and kill you, and yet clearing your wanted level is probably the easiest thing in the universe. Just hop in a car, cruise until the cops get bored, and head back to where you needed to be. Movement is fluid, until it's not. Stealth is good, until it's not. Animations and sounds are brilliantly designed, until they stop for no reason. The pedestrian AI is... Lacking. Driving is sometimes wonderfully fun, sometimes atrociously uncontrollable. Cyberpunk is a game of duality. You will almost assuredly enjoy your time in Night City, but the issues plaguing Cyberpunk 2077 are glaring and numerous. I believe CDPR will make this a great game eventually, but for now, it's just a good game marred by issues.
