As a game it is not bad per se and I do not regret the purchase, but many parts of the game are really bad. The 1st Act was very promising entertaining but after that it is just a sandbox action open-world game with dozen generic quests, all delivered by generic phone calls. The plot is ok but the story telling is ridiculous. The opponents do not have any role in the game except the very last mission. The world seems great at first glance and is full of people but in reality is the most static world I have ever seen in the last 10 years. Nothing changes without exception and if you skip time, NPCs and cars stay on the exact same spot. Larger side quets are ok (Panam, Kerry, Rogue, etc.), nothing special, but the others are very antiquated: Call person X, go to the target position, eleminate the enemies or talk to some person. What bothers me the most is that it is not an RPG at all, but most of the time a bad action game. Explosions and animations are partly very out-dated and during showdowns you fight waves of enemies... It starts with eliminate 0/20 enemies. Next target, eliminate 0/10 enemies. Next target, eliminate 0/5 enemies. WTF, so this is Cyberpunk 2077?!?!? A lot of the game felt like GTA3 except that in this game the police is dumber than in GTA1. Unfortunately no joke! I can think of dozens of other points, but obviously this game was abused and quickly thrown on the market for the Christmas season. You should consider renaming CD Projects to Woodman Projects and release a "Evelyn Parker"-special edition of the game.

Ahh I remember watching the original trailer, I've probably watched it 15 times since then. What's not to love "It's CDPR", I thought. The Witcher Enhanced Edition was the first PC game I ever bought, and I still love it. And I would rather play that game, or KOTOR or Two Worlds. My disappointment is immeasurable, and the last 7 years of waiting has been ruined. It's like dating a beautiful person, but not enjoying their company.

This game promoted itself as an RPG game but there is no RPG. You can't make any choices in this game as it is all an illusion. The dialogue tree is just "explain further" or "proceed with story". The NPC is dead and don't interact with you at all. The frame rate is all over the place, and I have a strong PC. They don't even know their own characters when making the romance. Kerry who is a bisexual with a leaning for women in the tabletop got bi-erasure and turned into a gay guy. I got some weird glitches where my V T-pose while walking. One good thing about this game is that this game has the best cop out of any game I play. They know teleportation and see that you committed a crime right away. They teleport to your location and shoots to kill. You could not do any roleplay at all. It may as well be an action game and just remove all the choices. The game would go smoother as it's too slow to be an action game and no choices for it to qualify as an RPG. All the good will I could think of with CD Projekt is gone. I had so much faith that I preorder the game even without any incentive, but I will not do it anymore. This game doesn't show that it cares about the players. The game is very empty and without love.

After spending many many hours in the game i finally gave up, gave up pretending that this is the game i've been waiting for so long. Gave up pretending that this world is alive, that i am actually mean something in it. All i found is a totally empty soulless and boring city, every person i meet mearly a doll with no behaviour and character. Every aspect of RPG is false, no real consequences to any action, dumb skill tree with no actual benefits. Stupid crafting of anything from scraps, awful driving and shooting. No feeling for weapons, you can empty a clip into a guys head and cause no damage but kill him with few hits of a knife. Able to shoot through obstacles is just adding to the fake world feeling. With The Withcer, TES and even Fallout i was thinking in my head of all the great adventures while closing my eyes in bed. With Cyberpunk 2077 i feel nothing, i feel like i am done with the game as soon as i quit playing. This game is a shame to the creators of Withcher, mearly a clone of GTA. I don't think there is someghing more to be done to imorove this game, it has no soul, it's died before it was born. Too bad. Cheers !
