Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk is an astonishing great RPG adventure game where you play as V, a mercenary in Night City. Going into this game having heard what everyone else said about it, you kinda expect the worst. However, playing this you realize quickly that a majority of the people being negatively vocal about it are wrong. Probably because they haven't actually played the game. The story is great. Best story I've seen in a game in a long while. This includes the characters and their personalities. I'd say that every NPC that you meet and interact with are unique in their own way, everything from the main side characters but even minor characters you meet along the way. I feel the main quests are streamlined but also gives you time and opportunity to play around in the world through exploring, doing side jobs, gigs, etc. Before I go into the gameplay part, I just want to adress one major issue: A lot of people seem to go into this game thinking it's GTA. It's not GTA and it will never be GTA. The gameplay is solid, everything from the shooting to the quickhacking. Driving leaves a bit to ask for, but it's not really the main focus of the game. The world is great to explore, but as many criticise it for, there's not much to actually interact with. That's okay in my book, not the main focus of the game. The levelling system is good and the skill tree with the various attributes really shows that this is a RPG. You need to go all in with skills and attributes to make sure that you can finish quests and side jobs in a satisfactory way. Speaking of that, I love how every quest, side job and gig gives you different ways to solve and finish them. There's so much possiblity to adapt the game to your game style! I recommend this game despite what "everyone else" says about this game. It is definitely GOTY 2020-worthy.

I played this at launch. Have not played it since i did 2 full playthroughs back then. Had almost no bugs. And on my 2080ti this ran really smooth. If I didn't know better I'd say those saying different lived in a different world. Enjoyed the shit out of it. Well worth the money. Waiting for substantial story expansions before returning. Almost anything in this world can be better. Same goes for this game. Was it worth the money (only question relevant to the discussion)? Hell yes.

Scores: Excellent, Very Good, Good, Bad, Very Bad, Awful. - Performance: Good (Very demanding game. Few frame drops. Running at 60fps, 1440p, with an i7 10th gen, 3070RX. Funny bugs and glitches all over the place). - Art style: Excellent (The city is spectacular!) - Gameplay: Good (Stealth mechanics are okayish, gunplay as well) - Story: Very Good (The main campaign is fine, side missions some good, some bad) - Sound, Music, Voice: Excellent. At a current state, worth it at a reduced price. The bugs and glitches will break the immersion constantly

Enjoying it so far. Some weird glitches bugs but nothing too bad.

I don't think I enjoyed a game as much as Cyberpunk for it's story in a while. Not the written story (decent to great at times), but the story written by the world. Functionality of a lot of the day to day tasks, it really sold that the place you are in sucks, and so long as you stick with the other poor's then you can get away with a great deal. There are bugs, I only had a few, but they are there and the few really did feel like a lot. It actually brings up my major complaint which WAS no modding tools. They took a page from Todds book, and realized that Sandbox RPG's are waaaaay to complex to try and tackle all issues without a community to do all of your work for you. Music is meh, I went in expecting it to be as licensing for these sorts of games has became an issue. I was hoping that they added a news channel to sort of pontificate what changes I had made, but that's a different rant. What I did not expect was the sound design, it is just tasty. I loved it, and it really just cements the world sometimes. There are alot of times where it's just you and ambient noise, and it really felt like a futuristic world that is in many ways not so distant. I don't know what to say honestly, the sum of the aspects of the game do not make up the whole. It should be a 3, but I loved it, it kept having new things that where overall enjoyable. I can't say you will like it, but I can say that bar a gamebreaking glitch, I suspect you will not hate it.
