Cyberpunk 2077

I have now completed most side missions, and the main campaign which gave me about 30 hours. So here are my thoughts, and if you think i'm going to give CDPR a free pass think again: The good: - Night City is an amazing space, that thank god gets rid of the Ubisoft approach of "bigger is better". It does not focus of square miles and a huge map. But instead a very dense world with amazing design that is so well connected. Its - Very good side missions, that are NOT boring Ubisoft busy work that we have become used to. But some of them are kinda phoned in. - The graphics can sometimes look truly amazing - Story can be really good, with some really good characters. The bad: - The games optimization is beyond awful. It really has to be seen to be believed. I have really good hardware and could not get a steady 60 FPS without turning alot of stuff down to high and medium. - The graphics can sometimes look really awful. With flat lightning, and sometimes the lightning is just totally over exposed, glaring you with lens flares and bloom. - There are just far too many characters. Many of which just propel you from one place to the next, and only appear for 5 minutes. - the game is SOOO buggy! I cant remember playing something this buggy. T poses, Graphics going FUBAR, stuck in place, quests i could not progress in forcing me to reload or restart the game, crashes, clipping, objects spawning upside down, AI i could go on and on. The final mission for me was ruined by so many bugs, and i kid you not, i had to reload 10+ times. - Terrible AI, really ruins alot the cool encounters - The economy tuning is so bad. Things are FAR too expensive and you earn so little. By the end i could barely afford alot the cars, implants etc. - Systems like crafting, and quick hacking is just kind of pointless. You can get items that are better than what you can craft, very quickly, and hacking is just too cumbersome and slow. It was much quicker and more fun to just shoot.

What a disappointment. Even on PC, this game failed to deliver. This whole "release now, fix later" bullshit practice needs to end.

"It'll be ready when it's ready!" was CDPR's confident statement riding off the back of one of the best games ever made. (Witcher 3) So what happened?...It is not ready, clearly. I'm seeing so many bugs its riddiculous. The trouble is that the story, atmosphere and graphics are superb (keep in mind I'm playing on a RTX 3080) but the constant bugs ruin the experience and immersion, with characters disapearing, being suddenly pushed across the map for no reason etc etc. I could go on....for a loooong time. My advice would be wait at least 6 months to a year before you buy. I may actually stop playing (I'm 21 hours in) and wait until its fixed. Shame on you CDPR!

Feels like your average modern Far Cry game mixed with a bit of Fallout 4. Not saying that good or bad, just nothing new. I don't feel like my money was wasted, and i don't really feel let down since i went in assuming it'd be a lot worse than it actually was. I enjoyed my 50 or so hours played so far, the main questline was pretty good and some of the side quests are memorable, but outside of that it felt fairly generic for reasons i'm sure a thousand other reviews have covered. I am hopeful that at some point down the line there will be interesting content added to the game, maybe a DLC continuing the story (although that would be difficult due to the multiple endings) or something overhauling the open world content or even just a new zone or two, but in its current state there isn't really much to look forward to after completing the story. To conclude this directionless rant, this game feels like the sort of Hollywood action movie you've seen a thousand times before, theres guns, explosions, cars, awkward sex scenes, Keanu Reeves, a rather uninteresting sound track, a clown with a grenade for a nose and a hell of a lot of physics bugs.

Cyberbug 2077 is a unfinished product and looks like it was not tested at all before release.
