Cyberpunk 2077

(Keep in mind the date of this review as this issue might get fixed in a future patch, although CDPR used the words "might get fixed" in their first official response themselves, which they changed later on. I'll try to change, or delete this review when this happens) At the time of writing it has come to the attention of the community that every PC player will experience one nasty bug if they try to do everything this game offers, like crafting a bunch or looting everything. >Savegamefiles come with a sizelimit of 8MB.< You go over that, congratulations, now this Save is broken. You're trying to load an earlier save and continue playing from there? Nope, savegame-sizes steadily increase over time (sometimes by up to 500KB), and rarely decrease by maybe 1 or 2 KB. So your playthrough is broken forever. Honestly, at this point I don't even feel like starting a playthrough, like, what's the point?

Life paths have no meaningful impact on the game, they only add flavour dialog this has a major impact on the replaybility of the game. The AI is bare bones, in combat enemies will just sit there while you take your sweet time head shooting them, police spawn out of the thin air and don't react to gun fire from gangs shooting over their heads. theirs’s no police car chases either. No bounty hunters, max-tac coming after you which was promised. Where is the branching quests that where promised by CD PROJEKT RED . Crafting Is imbalanced and unrewarding. Upgrading weapons only offer a small increase in damage and becomes ridiculously expensive. This feature was meant to allow the player to keep their favourite guns but is not even remotely balanced for this. Hacking is overpowered which is not helped by the dumb AI and the minigame itself becomes very tedious. The perk tree is all over the place. some give 50% extra headshot damage while others give 3% extra damage. a lot of the icons don't match what the perk provides. it is full of padding. Driving is a mess, the POV when driving first person is messed up you can barely see over the steering wheel. breaking is almost none existent. you are blinded by daylight when driving first person, this is more common in the Badlands. The arm augmentations which where advertised as game changing like gorilla arms allowing you force open doors is no longer a feature though the item description is still there. Their is way too much loot for example, guns can be found with different levels, skins, rarity this end up making the inventory a nightmare to organise. It would have made more sense to find the gun with a standard skin and allow the player customise it ourselves. Leveled guns and armour means you are constanly changing guns I think I spent most of my time going through my inventory. Bugs everywhere, The more you play you begin to relise just how hollow the game is.

Lots of people have already discussed the multiple problems in this game and failed promises from the marketing team. Honestly, the game was pretty and all but felt hollow. The world was great but you couldn't interact with the world around you, it was just set dressing. The story was very much this "on the rails" experience where you didn't get a lot of freedom/choices. The really isn't strong RPG elements or an immersive open world. Cyberpunk also just lacks some basic functionality, such as decent AI, etc. I also would've greatly appreciated better controls and remappable keybindings. I am waiting for my refund.

After the second delay, i was 90% sure the game would be a failure and it looks like i was right. Where to even begin? Dynamic Storyline? Hardly... everything has the same end result and even the seemingly different choices still feel identical... Combat? Basic at most, stealth is non existent... Crafting? no thought was given this this... recycle weapons, gather components, find blueprints, craft new weapons with random stats... Can't even properly customize weapons except for some "mods". Driving? Lacking, feels like the cars drive on ice, no mechanic or auto shops (seriously... 2077...) Quests? Oh yeah... there are many of them, all repetitive and without any flavor. Main quests just slam you right into the action and maybe that's why it feels... rushed. Graphics? Meh... at best... With or without RTX. Certainly not as advertised. Bugs? Sure... plenty of those. Most are not game breaking, but the number of them... extremely annoying. Glitches? Plenty of those... some which are extremely funny and really made some Youtubers a whole lotta views. What is there to say? Is it worth it? No... The game needs about 2 more years of development and TESTING (which hasn't been done much) before a proper release...

BUGGY GAME, wait till end of 2021
