Cyberpunk 2077

I bought into the hype as soon as the first trailed was released a little less than a decade ago. As someone who plays LOTS of open world games and enjoys the immersion provided by these role playing games, I was HEAVILY disappointed by the final product. Sure, it looks nice. The city looks nice. The graphics when turned up to max on a RTX 3090 look nice, but that's about all the game has going. Literally zero branching story lines, every character is bland as hell (especially V). The character back story doesnt matter beyond the first 30 minutes. The action/combat feels bland, and the inventory/crafting system is obnoxiously unintuitive. Sad that I preordered this game. I wont preorder another CDPR game. Dude playing guitar was pretty sweet tho, insane what full body tracking animation can do.

We were promised an RPG and this is not an RPG. - There is no skill checks on dialogs, no posibility to get different outcomes from misions, they just add flavour, everything is too linear. - There are no cutscenes beyond the couple first misions and only one implant cutscene for eye/hand, rest missing. - Lifepaths removed, few dialog lines no matter your origin then a 6 months gap cutscene lol. - Braindance missing beyond a couple misions. - Tech skill tree is a joke, granades? seriously? where are the drones, droid swarms, decoy...? - Poor crafting & itemization system, nothing interesting, food needs to be gone or be fixed. - Confusing UI, there should be names for vendors/fixers/riperdocs on the map, you can not tell if a mod is meant for ranged weapons, melee, armor or an implant. - Too easy even on hardest mode, just overlevel and enjoy an easy ride... - Cyberpsycosis/Humanity (tarot?) system missing. - Not enough "miniboss" figths. - No minigames (gwent style). - No metro/train travel system and no random encounters. - No radio stations system (to tune OST selection). - Not enough rain/polution vapour/dust weather effects. Come On CP-PROJECT, you can do better than this !

First of all you need an TopTier PC to play this game. I am on ryzen 5600X and gtx1080(bc i dont want to spend 1k€ for a 3070) and i get a max of 60fps. But it feels like 40fps. -The NPCs and police act so weird. -Controls are just horrible and designed for Console -The Choices you make don´t alter the path you go, only in very little ways... -Cars?? like wtf was that????? I spend 30h at the release and stopped to try it at a different point. That was now. played for 10min and deinstalled it for good. I did not let me hype but this was just SAD!

First up - yes, there are bugs, but they're getting fixed - yes, NPC interaction outside of the main characters is basically non-existent - yes, it could do with a lot of massaging to be worthy of CDProjekt's reputation - yes, there was no way this could ever have lived up to the hype But... if you can get past some of the game world issues, the story that is there is decent. The graphics are great. The sound is top notch. The gameplay shouldn't be too unfamiliar to those who played Witcher3. Spells are hacks. You have guns. Its clearly the same base game mechanics. I think much of the issues can be fixed at least somewhat with patches and add-on DLC. It's still one of the few recent games i bothered to spend the time to complete in late 2020/early 2021. If you're more concerned with gunplay and game mechanics, maybe buy on sale (or not at all). If you're more interested in the story element, its decent. I'm not upset with my purchase.

After two playthroughs and almost one year of wait since release, this game is still a buggy, empty mess without a soul to speak of whatsoever. Not even an Enhanced Edition is ever going to salvage this...CDPR should have stuck to their guns and made another Witcher or Witcher-like game and not squandered everything on this disaster. They went from TW3 with 11/10 to -999/10 with CP77...way to ruin a reputation and a company. STAY AWAY FROM THIS
