Cyberpunk 2077

as above

Whilst the discussion re the issues with cyberpunk on last gen consoles is pretty valid, overall, this is an absolutely excellent game with a brilliant story, amazing world, and enthralling facial animation and motion capture. On PC it plays great even on older hardware (gtx 1080) with a little tweaking (if you don’t expect 144Hz). I do think CDPR need to optimise the settings a bit more so that the average player can get a better graphical experience without the need to tweak this to the level I have though. Other than that I think the devs should be proud of the game they’ve built. After a lot of reading it feels like perhaps the launch was spoilt by management greed as often happens these days. But that should not diminish the work of the dev team to bring this game to the point it is at so far. I think with a few patches this will be one of the best games of this decade in spite of it’s rocky launch. If no one else has said it, I want to say thank you to the cyberpunk team for your work so far. I have every confidence you’ll make good on sorting out the issues that do exist and in doing so polish this game into a full-blown masterpiece.

Cyberpunk is a game of two halves. On one hand, its a overhyped, underdelivering open world action game, that in no way reaches the marketings lofty promise of being a "next-gen, open world adventure". A game that should never have launched in a state that it did, and is a victim of unfullfiled ambition and unreachable development goals, just as much as a victim of unrealistic hype and delusional expectations from a circlejerking fanbase with zero restraint or reasonability. On the other hand, however, and the reason why i cant not consider this one of the best games ever, its a deeply engrosing, beautifully written, deep, mature and dark story that is faithful to its genre the whole way. The writting in this game, from the characters to world building and main quests to the smallest side jobs is so full on its not only CDPRs best, but also a new industry defining standard that goes toe to toe with the likes of Planescape: Torment, Fallout: New Vegas, and other rpg classics. The stories on offer here hit hard and run deep, offering a look at subjects as numerous as they are bleak, resulting in a wide emotional range that had me busting my ass from laughter at one moment and crying my eyes out the next. And thats where the discrepancy in the public consensus lies. If you are like me, someone who plays rpgs for their stories and characters and isnt bothered by their often less polished gameplay, and who loved CDPRs previous output, warts and all, as well as games like the mass effect trilogy, this game is going to delight and enthrall you like it did me, simply because despite all the broken promises CDPR knocked it out of the park where it counts most. If however, you came here expecting a living breathing world, a Cod level shooter, a crpg level of choices, Cyberpunk has very little to offer you. You may still enjoy it, but i recomment you do so after it has been sufficiently patched. Its a 10 in my eyes, even if i understand that right now, it wont be for most.

The problems in this game are like some bad toppings on a fine pizza, they make it a bit less enjoyable, but it still tastes great and I want more after eating the whole box.

It will be great if the font size in the game can be increased
