Good game, but far from greatness

First of all: I love the game. Played a lot and will play a lot more in the future. I enjoy the setting, the story, the characters, the quests. And I definetely recommend the game to anyone with a decent PC. If you like the setting and enjoy other stories from the Cyberpunk-Genre, this is just for you. However, the game is still flawed. The performance is extremly inconsistent and seems to change with every patch. Sometimes, areas I visit are suddenly causing extreme FPS drops while they might be fine during the next visit. I even lowered my settings from high to medium/low and for some extremly weird reason, it made things even worse. So i stayed with High/Ultra so that I can enjoy the wonderful graphics of this game with some occasional FPS drops. The game mechanics feel shallow. I had the same problem with the Witcher 3. At some point, your character is extremly strong and all further character development feels like cosmetics. I am playing as a Solo on Hard and I slaughter everyone easily, additional perks do not feel like they make my character any better. This needs more balance and depth. Nonetheless, the game delivers amazing stories and decent gameplay. I have a lot of fun with blades and shotguns, despite the low difficulty and the quests really shows where the strenghts of CD Project Red are located. I cannot count how many times I was carried away by a tiny side quest which devloped into a fully-flegded quest line. The world is not as interactive as many expected it to be, but I for my part enjoy it because it gives a great background to my activities. Yes, the NPCs do not have special routines and there are bugs, but for me, these aspects were always of minor impact. I do not need a sandbox where you can do absolutely everything, I prefer the world to be the background on a stage. Cyberpunk does a fantastic job at that. If you want a good, but flawed game with amazing setting and have a capable PC, go for it!

Good but buggy and short

Enjoyed the story a lot, but it was cut fairly short. Didn't encounter any real game-breaking bugs except for on a couple side missions and the occasional crash during the final mission which was a bit frustrating. Game has 2 Acts, when you beat The Heist mission you've basically finished half the game. Whoever bound the skip dialogue button to the same one as the toggle crouch button, shame on you. TDLR; Enjoyed the game, but it's fairly short. If you focused solely on the story mission you can speed past it super quickly.

The game is great...exceptional even

Yes, there are bugs and there are issues. As with any game there are certain things that anger you during the gameplay. Looking at the game objectively, without taking into account the review bombing and drama surrounding this game at the moment, I have to conclude that the game was very enjoyable. I can recommend the game for anyone playing on a relatively high-end PC. PS: Even a 3080 had issues during some parts of the game that had more intensive frames to render.

Awesome Game with a few bugs

I have played through multiple endings of the game and must say, it is a awesome experience. The graphics are gorgeous and the story is good. Of course my playthrough was not free from any bugs, but on a decent PC it is only getting minor physics glitches. I also tried the game with less than minimum specs and saw a glimpse of gamebreaking bugs. All in all the game is great, but you need to have at least recommended requirements to experience the game in a playable way.
