Cyberpunk 2077

The game works fine on my PC after 1.04 hotfix, but my problem with it goes beyond the bugs and technical issues. They promised us an open world RPG and instead we got a linear story with an empty big city to serve as loading screens between missions. Throughout the years they talked about mechanics like day/night cicle for npcs, huge customization, police wanted system, gangs involved all over the town, responsive AI, weapon customization, decisions and paths for replayability, etc. None of this things and lot more didn't make it into the final game, making it just an empty shell of what it was promised. The story is good, some of the characters are interesting and the world is beautiful, but that's just not enough for me. If you're in for a linear action adventure game with meh gameplay and good story-telling, then this is for you. If you're expecting an RPG where you're decisions matter and the world feels alive, I don't recommend you buying hits game.

Even if all the bugs are fixed, this game is "mediocre". You can't do a lot of things in it, and i don't mean "useless things" like "brush your horse" (i also consider rdr2's gameplay to be be boring, yes). It's ultra linear, okay, your choices might matter, i don't really know if they do, it's not like you have too many choices in the first place, but still, besides main missions is there any reason to do any "side missions" besides the fact that you really have nothing better to do in life? For me, it feels like a burden. Compare this game to skyrim, fallout nv, fallout 4, gothic 1&2, lol even gta san andreas, outer worlds and you will what a good "open world" rpg means. And last but not least, you lied to us, you promised things, you intentionally deceived us with the reviews... i am sorry i bought this game. I should ask for a refund not because how broken and average it is, but because you are liars.

I don't know what game some people play rn, but it is not the Cyberpunk with the features sold to us. It's no rpg... it's a OKish actiongame at max with a Story on rails and hack'n slash elements. It feels like 90% content got cut out, they should have just delayed the game to 2021 Q4 to deliver a next gen rpg, but this is just a mess.

Cyberpunk 2077 was marketed as an RPG that would revolutionize the industry and make this game a template for future AAA RPGs. *Im not going to mention the amount of bugs in this game since eveyone will know about them at this point. We were promised an RPG with a immersive, living city (Night City), with incredible AI for NPCs, character customization, emotional impactful branching storylines, etc. This is not what we got. With past games such as Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, and GTA 5, this game lacks ALOT of essential RPG elements for a player to get immersed in. Night City is beautiful! Especially on a high-end pc with Ray tracing turned ON. Unfortunetly, all of this is artificial. No activities for your character to do. No interaction with the world. You have your standard main Storyline, side quests, contracts, and faction missions. That's it. CDPR needs to address the missing features that were promised with this game and apoligize to gamers. Hopefully, all these features will be added in future patches or updates. One can only hope...

TL;DR: The game is not finished, this is not a proper release, this is not playable if you ignore a thing or two. Let's face it: Cyberpunk 2077 is in no way a finished product. What most people are calling "bugs" is a blatant excuse for bad/lack of proper programming. The game does not lack polishing or a tweak or two, but full development. From AI to RPG systems to Open World mechanics, everything seems to be hanging by a thread. There is not a base structure that wraps this game up in a cohesive and enjoyable experience. There is no "Night City". Everything just seems afloat - figuratively and literally, as you've probably seen the flying cars and disappearing pedestrians. Of course there is an interesting story deep down this mountain of disappointment, it is just not accessible in the current state. I even tried to follow the legions of CDPR blind paladins who dive into this mess and tell everyone "It's an awesome game. You just have to ignore the...". NO. Please, NO. This is not what was promoted, not what was sold. Speaking about sold, CDPR pulled an even bigger heist on current gen console players. What a shame. Maybe when the PS5 version is out next year, the game will be in a proper developmental state. The way it is now, totally frustrating.
