A classic in the making.
There's no denying the level of hype surrounding this game and it has quite predictably fallen prey to the extremely high expectations surrounding it. Nothing could possibly live up to such expectation. That being said, the launch of Cyberpunk does seem to be an uncharacteristic misstep by the incredible CDPR. Delays followed by crunch, leading into censored reviews (console versions unreviewed prior to launch and B-roll footage insisted upon) and finally into a launch day where the conversation about bugs is a dominant one. This has not been the kind of timeline we have come to expect of the most respectful CDPR. Given time, however, I am in no doubt that the whole team at CDPR will polish this already exceptional game into another genre defining classic just as the Witcher 3 has become. Sure, there are bugs in the game, the UI is a little unwieldly and performace is yet to be optimised, but none of that can take away from the breathtaking scope of the game, the incredible attention to detail and the sheer imagination and creativity that has been lovingly poured into this game to create an experience as expansive and immersive as this. This is a true work of art; a true milestone in the already storied history of video gaming. I feel that many negative reviews, though certainly not all, being left in these first 24 hours since launch are giving far too much weight to the technical gripes that sully the experience, and whilst they are there, do they characterise the ENTIRE experience of the game? And finally, have CDPR as a game developer not earned all of our trust to see that Cyberpunk 2077 will inevitably become the incredible polished gem that already lies beneath? Have they not shown themselves to be champions of us the consumer and of the gaming industry at large? Give CDPR time, have a little patience, check your graphics drivers are up to date and take the time to write and read considered reviews with fair criticisms, not knee-jerk reactions.
