Cyberpunk 2077

The game itself is not that bad, but for all the hype it got, it fell really short. I have seen so many glitches (objects floating, character phasing through objects, etc), non of the glitches I have encontered are game-breaking, but it shows how unpolished this game is. For me the worst part is the AI, there is no excuse for having an AI this bad. You can punch someone and sometimes they will do nothing, other times they will just turn around and stare at you. The level of interaction you can have with NPCs is almost non-existent. As an example of how bad the AI is, the other day I parked a car in the middle of the sidewalk, an NPC approached the car, stopped and did absolutly nothing....did not even tried to go around...just stood there. I have no idea how CD Projekt will fix this but maybe in a year, after a LOT of patches, this game will be much closer to what I expected it to be.

One of the most anticipated and hyped up games for a long time now. Did it deliver you ask? Well... yes and no... If you solely play this game for the story and combat aspect of this game, you will like it. Story is great, you feel connected with the protagonist V since you make all the dialogue choices, making the main protagonist quite a bit more personal to yourself. And the combat aspect is fun with a lot of different ways to mow down any enemy that you come across. Whether you want to go sneakily around your enemies and assassinate them with your silenced weapon or just make a lethal takedown, or if you wish to go berserk and mangle them with your mantis blades, it's all up to you. Now the bad stuff... - First point, character customisation. There are no place where you can change the way your character looks, except for the character creation screen. Even GTA V had the possibility to change your looks after creating your character. - Second point is animations. This is supposed to be an open world RPG, yet there are no animations for when you eat food or drink beverages. No animation for when you install cybernetics on your character. And then we have the small things like the vending machines, where when you order a soda, I was expecting a soda can to pop out of the machine. What popped out instead? Some default object for food & beverages. This is not what I expect from a game that showed soda cans popping out of the vending machines in their demos. Am I being nitpicky? Probably, but I'm simply asking for what was promised and shown in the demos. - Third point, world A.I. The A.I. in this game is just straight up stupid. You do the slightest thing, and they all panic, even accidentaly double tapping so you dodge will make them panic. And then the lack of dialogue the A.I. has is just boring. The A.I. feels stale, boring, stiff and just not very good. So for now, the score is a 3/5. If they can patch the things I mentioned, easily 5/5.

Now i don't usually do reviews but i have been waiting for this game since the original announcement 8+ years ago so make sure you read before judging. Also *Spoilers ahead* I am not going to focus on any game bugs or performance issues on other platforms, so i will strictly focus on the game. As the main story unfolds the game becomes more and more interesting but it lacks the RPG element and the "importance of choice" aspect. You start of by selecting you life path which only affects certain dialogue choices and nothing more and as you progress you start realizing that everything evolves around V (main character) and Johny Silverhand. You get so invested in the beggining with all the interesting characters you meet in the game but their story arc drops off so suddenly that it leaves you with a weird feeling. There is no follow up story with any of the characters you meet, sure there are a couple of side quests but that's all. After that all of them disappear and even if you try to call them you get the same fixed dialogue options all the time.There is no substance to them and it feels like you are doing a 3rd grade quest for some miserable soul just to get money for upgrades. As far as the role playing aspect...... it's just not there. It's more of a adventure/shooter type of game rather than an RPG. There are certain places that you visit during the main quest that are really interesting with a lot of activities but as soon as you are done with the main quest if you try to revisit them there is absolutely nothing to do, no activities, just a populated space with random NPCs. There are more than one ending and it actually depends on whether you have done certain side quests or not but the outcome is just weird since *SPOILER* in every ending i came across until now you die one way or another, or you just don't get a proper closure as the main character. "Night city never sleeps"...... well it definitely is in hibernation so far. It's just sad.

Can't play the game because of crashes. Very disappointing.

After long years of development, pushing through countless delays and setbacks, its full team working tirelessly to bring their vision to fruition, Cyberpunk 2077 turned out to be basically okay. The map's big. The graphics aren't bad. The writing's at or above par for the genre. The speak/shoot/sneak gameplay loop is functional, if repetitive. It's an entirely playable game with some high points, but looking at the history of its development, one thing's blatantly clear: CDPR shot for the moon with this project, failed to break atmosphere, and ended up landing in an ocean of other shooter-sandboxes in the vein of Far Cry and Watch_Dogs. It does not break new ground. It does not live up to its own expectations. It does not revolutionize the genre, bring you to tears with its writing, immerse you in a fully-realized world, or anything of the sort. It is a bog-standard ARPG-shooter sandbox with loot, perks, quests, and levelling in a wide, shallow map. The production values are high, but the ambition to innovate just isn't there; CDPR thought they could catch The Witcher's lightning-in-a-bottle a second time and came home with a glass of tepid, if drinkable rainwater to show for it. The game's not strictly bad, I should clarify; if you're in need of a way to kill 20 hours over the course of a week, it might be worth a look at a discount or post-patches (the game has some curious design decisions and numerous, occasionally progress-stopping bugs at time of writing), maybe full-price if you've already burned through or are uninterested in every other sandbox game that came out this year. That said, don't feel bad about sleeping on it or skipping it entirely, whether you bought into the hype or not.
