Cyberpunk 2077

Review breakdown: Graphics: 4/5. The game looks amazing. The city is breathtaking with a ridiculous attention to detail, however, there's noticeable repetition, but the same can be said about any city, real life or fictional. NPCs look amazing, and are well detailed. I've experienced some graphical errors, but nothing game breaking; some texture tearing, NPC's loading in after I get to the area, NPC's disappearing on double takes, etc, but that is to be expected in a big game. Overall, graphics are good and I get reasonable performance on a mid tier gaming PC. Gameplay: 2/5 The gameplay feels very...rough. Driving is terrible. The driving in this game feels wrong. Cars handle like crap and damage is very unrealistic - I hit a guardrail head on at over 100 and just bounced off like a rubber ball when my car should of exploded or disintegrated. The gunplay...very mediocre. The cover system is unreliable and enemies are bullet sponges, even at low difficulty. Walking and running seems fine, but the controls needed a lot of fine tuning to get to that point. AI:. 1/5 What AI? This is my biggest gripe. There is no AI. Enemies run in circles around you with no intelligence or plan. Pedestrians have no collision and clip all the time (walk through me, my car or walls), and conversations with non-story NPC's are useless. Cars drive on rails, their drivers just stare when you point a gun at them, and don't care if you shoot their car. Cops teleport in whenever you break the law...they literally spawn in front of you. The lack of NPC intelligence is the most immersion breaking thing for me. Story/Voice acting: 4/5. Excellent story so far, voice acting is on par with Rockstar stuff. No major problems here. Not sure how far I'll get with the game in its current state as I just don't have fun right now... Overall: 2/5 It needs work. It should have had more time in dev. I hope it follows NMS and gets better, but its not what I call "amazing" right now. Give it some time.

Everything was said already by others. I expected much more from you CDPR, hugely disappointed by how the game runs. Next time I wont jump on hype train, its better to wait these days and save money instead. The game might be good, but not now, it needs a lot more work. Shame.

The games story and many of the side missions, not gigs or collectables but the side missions and story are there. Thats where it ends the performance is just awful, just look at the ps4/xbox one version. The ingame AI feels so stupid, I can walk right up behind them in a firefight while they try to take cover or when you notice the driving AI is liteally not in the game. I cant believe they released it in such a state with so many bugs. Id refund if I hadnt spent so much time as it is trying to see of it gets better. CDPR FIX THIS. Really lost a lot of respect from me and probably a lot of others. so many missing features I cant fit them all in the review heres a reddit post wth basic features lacking in the game https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberpunkgame/comments/kb22xs/compiled_list_of_missing_features_quality_of_life/ Also AI is nowhere to be seen in the game https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberpunkgame/comments/kb2jgj/i_just_realized_that_there_is_no_ai_for_driving/ https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberpunkgame/comments/kb7z2e/the_ai_in_this_game_is_nonexistent/

TL;DR: Cyberpunk fell victim to overhype and simply running out of time. If CDPR had let this game stew just a while longer, polish the gameplay mechanics, squash those bugs, this would've been one to truly remember. As it is, it might be remembered as just another game that promised the world or maybe, it'll just Fade Away.... Long version: Shooting is not especially exciting with bullet sponge enemies even with level appropriate gear and the bad ragdoll physics take the fun out with enemies mostly just falling over in a t-pose and having very bendy knees. The melee combat is outright horrible, enemies tend to phase through you and react in bizarre ways to being hit and it's almost impossible to stay on target. The double-tap movement keys to dodge makes sneaking around a nightmare when small precise movements are often needed to avoid detection when V flings themselves out of cover and into a wall because you tapped left too quickly. Hacking is lackluster with only one hacking puzzle type and the combat quickhacks are mostly useless. Why waste time killing the incredibly durable enemies even slower with DoTs? Also, why not add the ability to edit your character after creation? Not even a barbershop? The story though is pretty interesting, though the lifepaths at the start feel tacked on, with a very short prologue that always ends in the same place. It doesn't feel like there is much player agency though, and the plot keeps you glued on a railroad. At a certain point in the game you are presented 3 options, and I assumed doing one or two of them would lock out the rest, but no. The most negative aspect of the game is it's myriad bugs.There are too many bugs in Cyberpunk to count. Hopefully, these will get ironed out later.

8 years I have waited..8 years!!! when Witcher 3 came out I said to friends "THIS (CDPR) is the company who NEEDS to make this game they are the best!! Years go by and they tell us the AI is amazing we can do this we can do that its a RPG. But what did we get? We got a shooter not the RPG we were promised!! We can be who we want?? no you cant after you make your character you are stuck with that look! Our choices matter..no they dont the game is linear but makes you think its not! Where are the promises that were said about cops? about advertisements ? About NPCs??? Look I understand stock holders wanted the game out before Christmas but come on CDPR you ruined your rep now!! Fix the game put what you promised and if IF you are smart you will do something special for your loyal customers.
