Cyberpunk 2077

I won't go through a "standard" review since by now everyone knows the issues this game has. So i'll just write what i personally feel toward this game. So your opinions might differ. Yeah, i don't know what happens but something tells me this game had a similar situation of which anthem went through: devs knowing and telling the suit guys the game wasn't ready, suits not caring for us all gamers, and only doing so towards investors and stocks to end q4 on a positive note. Well we now know that backfired didn't it. This is far from an open world rpg. It's an open world fps action. Sure, CDPR will fix the bugs and glitches, but they can't fix the core of the game, which is a shallow first person action adventure with a talent tree and some sidequests. It feels more like im playing a futuristic borderlands rather than a futuristic witcher 3 (which it's the way it was marketed, imagine w3 but bigger and better. Yeah no.) Is it a bad game? No. Is it what was advertised and hyped to be? Hell to the f*ckin no. IA is abysmal, police system is outright broken, no character/car/apt customization and i could go on and on and on. What really gets me is how shallow this "world" feel. What a disappointment. I guess it's lesson learned. Don't trust ANYBODY. CDPR is the only SH i would preorder blindly to it, and i guess they did everything in their power to lemme change that opinion. I will NEVER EVER preorder a game ever again. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. It's sad really. It really is.

Cyberpunk 2077 has a lot of issues and is very unfinished. From the graphical fidelity scaling to features missing and simply polish. 36 hours in. Even though the graphics are underwhelming from a technical perspective (non-RTX) the city itself does have beauty when the broken game with it's graphics want to work with you. The city has large buildings and lots of little details. Stalls, people standing around, elevators, actual housing where people live in. It feels like a city. Overall, the approach they took for Night City I find very likeable and you can see that there has been a lot of passion in regards to this. It's bland. If there were no missions, there would be absolutely nothing to do. The AI is atrocious and it's not like you can go and explore the city in anything else besides graphics. The UI is terrible. Minimap doesn't zoom out when driving fast, you can't sort your armor based on armor rating, the map doesn't display what shops are what besides the overall fact that it's a clothing shop. You can't equip/disassemble gear in the selling menu. And that doesn't even scratch the surface. The gunplay is "point and left click" in the most literal sense and consists of spam clicking as much as possible. The AI makes it worse and so does the areas you usually fight in. They feel the same. The first "Cyberpunk" building you go in will enlighten you of the rest. The game has a tendency to make you travel around a lot while not providing much to do besides that. The story is ok, but that's where it's reflected a lot too. I feel like so many things in the game are either stretched or are spend talking a lot while saying nothing. I'm all up for getting to know the characters and the world but I don't feel like I am even if I keep asking for more information and details. I've spend 36 hours on this game and I feel most of it is just a lot of buildup for nothing. Inventory management is terrible and that's how you lose a lot of time. Anyway, character limit...

this is clearly an unfinished game, glitches and poor optimisation make this game hard to enjoy. they should have sold this as an early acces version

Arasaka lady is waiting for me at Embers for 50 hours (real time, that could be months in game) already, I have finished all gigs in city and badlands and I am still waiting for Kerry to invite me to his yaht. What am I supposed to do in a meantime? Game is wide as ocean and deep as puddle, creators of Witcher 3 that is supposedly the best story driven AAA game in industry has made a gigantic product that feels like trailer to a probably very good sci-fi drama but we'll never know. Every bug can be repaired by patches. No patch can repair fractured narrative and lazy writing. You all f***ed up.

I will keep this short. What this game lacks is soul. The world is lifeless and absent of meaningful relationships or consequences. Like many, I leaned into the hype of this game, representing a transformative moment in gaming. Instead, I was left cheated and bewildered. Regardless of the pending updates, no number of patches can infuse life into a game born with no identity.
