Cyberpunk 2077

Positives + The game looks great on PC, even with less powerful hardware. + Great main story and fun side missions + Gunplay and hacking are entertaining. Negatives - Bugs - Too few activities (GTA-like activities such as barbers, clubs etc.) - The people on the street are empty. Most negatives are immersion breaking and don't do justice to the story.

So you postponed game several times to polish it, but it was released broken. I will play game later when the bugs will be fixed. But not in a few months. Additionally, I hope to see ukrainian language in the game by then (at leas subtitle and othe text). I know ukrainian localizators did some negotiations with CDPR, until the manager responsible for localizations changed. So I hope in half year game will get some improvements.

TL;DR: beneath the bugs and jank it's a very pretty but mediocre game. +The story is awfully predicatable but I find it entertaining and intriguing enough that I want to see how it ends. The characters are the highlight even if they don't have much to do. Your mileage may vary depending on how much you dig the cyberpunk theme. Although I get the feeling that the makers don't really understand cyberpunk beyond a superficial level. -A pointless character creator in a game where you almost never see V -Not much actual roleplaying. Most dialogue options are just flavor. Most perks in the skilltree are just boring stat boosts. -Wildly inconsistent framerate and (on my machine) weirdly fuzzy textures, but the people look pretty good. Overall not ideal but I found it tolerable and was okay playing like this for many hours. However, at one point it did get so bad that I had a headache and had to take a break. -Weird graphical and AI bugs (floating guns/props, AIs crashing into walls for no reason, etc.) Not something that bothers me a great deal but it's there. Maybe it's all just weird cyber hologram glitches in my weird cyber eyes. -Game breaking bugs that block progress. As of this writing I cannot continue with a certain quest because I'm supposed to talk with some NPCs but they won't talk--"talk" prompt does not pop up. They all just stand there. Reloaded several times and got nowhere but I've heard that if you walk away far enough it will apparently reset whatever is not working for God knows what reason. -There are annoying NPCs in the game based on and voiced by YouTubers/streamers. It breaks my immersion and also disgusts me with how narcissistic it is. Maybe that's weird to say. It's also strangely ironic that a game themed around the evils of coporate-capitalism and consumer exploitation is ultimately a product of said corpos and shallow internet hucksters exploiting consumers. I can't tell if it's brilliantly poetic or tragically unaware of itself.

With basic errors, noticeable at the beginning of the final development, such as a grenade going through a wall or floor, weapons starting animation without even starting the shot, artificial intelligence turned off...

I'd like to have copied my review from Steam to here, but it's too long. I have 14 hours on this so far. I have many issues with this game, one is that hardly even feels like an RPG. It's not the expansive RPG we were advertised with many quest lines and factions to join. There's no way to have an effect on the world around you, you can't customize your apartment or get new ones, you can't customize your car, you can hardly even customize yourself. V is a static character. The only things you can change are surface level. It's just a typical Action-Adventure FPS. Somehow, the world this game presents is exceedlingly boring. I'm the type of player who reads every single bit of flavor text, zooms in on all the posters to read them, listens to NPCs talk to each other and the type who watched those dumb little cartoons in GTA IV in-game. In Cyberpunk 2077, I can't even be bothered to pick up logs anymore. The crowd and traffic AI is literally non-existant. If something blocks or otherwise distrubs them, they just vanish once they're out of view. The game's story takes a nose-dive after the title card shows, plenty of quests to take on but none of them are any good and don't feel like they help develop my character. Though, you can't change V at all anyway. Combat is so terrible, that it's the only real reason I've chose to use stealth so much.
