Cyberpunk 2077

I first want to say a big thank you to the team for pulling this game together and trying to do an original property - the gaming industry needs more of these instead of sequels. I've put in over 40 hours with the game and even though the game has capability to deliver a great environment it's held back by the game design itself. Some other reviews have already called out the issues that go well beyond bugs - here are some of them: No real "choices" that are unique to your character - all of the choices end up following the same path with some minor differences. The game lacks player agency - something that an RPG like this should actually offer. The open world apart from the aesthetics is dull and shallow - NPC interactions are robotic and AI in the game hardly exists. No in world random events (see red dead 2), in general the world feels lifeless. Weapons literally offer no depth or uniqueness - stock standard rifles, shotguns, handguns, etc. Borderlands offered more variety than what we have within this game. Upgrades / Enhancements - No real impact changes to the gameplay or how you actually approach different situations. Diverse approaches to accomplishing missions - Going from the last point, Deus Ex offered levels of approaches to completing missions. Cyberpunk offers two - stealth (read hack) or guns blazing. In the end, I just chose guns blazing each time due to getting tired of doing random hacks and stealth with terrible AI. CD Projekt Red deserve some praise for certain character story beats along with some of the intruiging braindance/investigative sections. Not the expansive RPG I thought we'd be getting sadly and unfortunately most of my issues with the game flow back to the design, not the bugs.

i feel like CDPR should honeslty give up on the hype machine or start backing it up. I havent been this dissapointed in a cyberpunk game since cyber generation.

Visuals are great, the main story is interesting, and that's the end of positives. It really feels like it is an early access release, the game has potential, but it just is not finished. The world feels dead, driving is bad, character movement needs a lot more polish, constant visual glitches, repetitive quests, and more. I hope CDPR will continue to repair a game because they have a gem in their hands that just needs more work.

Game didn't live to it's hype, but not because of the bugs, glitches and false marketing. It was supposed to be the next great rpg, but when you look at the roleplaying aspect: 1. You play as the mercenary V, and the only thing you have to say about it is how much of an "edgelord" you are. You will thank an old lady for old fashioned jacket that may not even suit your style, but you'll put it anyway. And will be an "small-time kleptopunk from the afterlife" no matter what you wear and who you think you are. 2. The customization part takes place at the start and stats it, equipment system feels more than a neccessary nuisance than anything else. There's many different types of clothing, so there is some choice in the matter, but the old not so good "do i like good, or have good stats" problem is very much present here. 3. The world is great, diverse and just wants you to explore. Until you relize that it's just looks good, but is just empty inside. There's not much to do besides the next task, the next mission, the next gig... The story is great and memorable, often gets emotional and the absolute gem of this title - soundtrack just makes it even better. Some parts of the story and certain characters presence and development fells rushed or cut, and leave a feeling that there could be much more to it than it is. And that is the overall felling I've got after playing 2 times, and overall of ~130h

Nowhere near what CD Projekt RED promised, nowhere near what everyone expected. Did you watch the trailers for this game and got excited? Good. That's your CP2077 experience; playing the game will only diminish it. After over 20 hours this game is E M P T Y. There is a linear campaign with nice, but railroady storytelling, full of exciting scripted events that feel like they should be part of the game, but they aren't, cause the devs didn't get enough time. You can't even SIT beyond scripted moments in the campaign. Wanna play open world game? Play GTA, RDR, F:NV or anything from TES franchise. CP2077 never even got there.
