Cyberpunk 2077

After ten hours trial and error my advice is to wait for a few more patches (post 1.04) before buying. Bugs are gradually being worked out but some in-mission bugs still remain and there are still plenty of graphical glitches (floating cans NPC pop-ins and T-posing). Sound doesn't seem to work, either files are missing or not triggering correctly, particularly on TVs; radio stations and dialogue have issues with ultra-low volume when not in a cut scene. Keyboard and Mouse support is not yet fully implemented, Devs state that the game was designed to run with a controller but the state of Keyboard and Mouse control is unforgivable, e.g. not being able to walk is a pretty major faux pas as is hard coding key mappings. From what I have experienced, the story and side quests are solid and enjoyable. It's a real shame that a graphically and story rich experience is ruined by control issues and audiovisual bugs and omissions. Wait a few patches or until reviews say its 'safe to play' on PC

Unfortunately, despite how much I wish it weren't true, this game suffers from problems almost across the board. Aside from the now well known bugs/performance isues (which are inexcusable in a full price release) the core game just feels like it was cobbled together at the last second. The gameplay itself is thoroughly mediocre at best, with unimpactful gunplay and an incredibly barebones stealth system ripped straight from every other stealth game ever. Hacking is just kinda there. The world does look incredible, but once you stop to look at what's going on around you you'll quickly realise that NPC's and vehicles have no emergent behaviour, they simply walk/drive around on rails with no interaction with the world whatsoever. Within the first hour of the game this already left night city feeling empty, a hollow shell that the devs were never given the time to fill. A quick summary of a few of the games other weaknesses are it's less than excellent driving, relatively bland characters, lack of objectives other than kill x or press E on y and a waaaay overcluttered UI. The biggest dissapointment for me, however, is undoubtedly the RPG elements of this game, or rather the lack of them. For how much CDPR talked about choice in the marketing of this game I'm baffled as to how few actually impactful choices there are at all. The life paths are completely linear stories with no effect on later V other than some occasional fluff dialogue choices, and if this was the intended way for this to work it was massively oversold. Ultimately this game falls well short of the most important benchmark of all, it's worse than the Witcher 3 in almost every way.

Missing most of the things that were promissed over the past 6 years. Right now, it's hardly worth playing even for the story. How was it even considered to be released in this state? It's a buggy-mess with next to none of the substance or depth that was promissed repeatedly.

Game runs great, no performance issues for me atlest. all games have bugs and they get work out over time. Ai improvments can be patched in. But...... The game lacks details and content. The map and lvl design is on point and great eye candy but in terms of gameplay, so much missed opportunity. Lack of weapon and equipment customization this one really got me. you get scopes and silencers. i was hoping it would have something closer to COD:MW lvl of choice. Not to mention just the complete lack of guns in general. And if you want to wear the good gear your going to look like a clown.. choose one look good and be behind the curve, or look like a missed matched goon that is bullet proof. Crafting system is super dumbed down and fails probibly due to being tied to the lack of customization. The cyberware could have gone ALOT deeper. Only one eye mod? and your givin it at the start? No little touches like walking up to an arcade machine and playing some dumb mini games. No brain dances outside of quests. no or very little random world events. So much food and it all is the same. It should have been done by eating at a vendor and give some witcher potion like buffs. No drugs (except 3 super vanilla ones) skill tree is kinda a joke. (insert % bonus here) I could go on, the game wants to be a sandwich, but it is only bread. I hope CDPR plans to do more then just patch bugs. I hope CDPR dosent try to sell me the rest of the game as DLC. I hope CDPR treats this as early acsess and adds content to this bread sandwitch. We dont need another Bethsda or ubisoft..... I love you CDPR and i wish you the best. PLZ get your shit together and make this game what it was ment to be. <3

Won't change the title cause they did and they can suffer the stain. Will actually edit this to a differnet rationg depending on if I can play the thing I spent $89.95c on. Can't recall a game that crashes before running? Hell, I tried playing Half life 2 back in the day with a truly weak PC. I could at least see the menu before it crashed unlike this broken game.
