Something went definitely wrong

Night City and story (except one part) is amazing. Unfortunately, the sauce around it seems pretty much non-existent (Police - bare minimum puffing from a thin air, side activity, customization, taxi, trains, etc.) There are also some specific things that are totally missed and i don't understand how they missed them, these were things i immediately noticed in my first two hours of playing that did hit me like a truck: - driving a car using GPS and MINImap, so many turns missed - not able to see the distance of quests in the journal - key bindings is mess, C,X,F used for exit in different categories, dodge double tap, no buttons for actual inventory, the quick menu is slow and mouse control in it is horrible I can live with current bugs. It is understandable when 2 millions ppl are playing. On the other hand, missing basic gameplay mechanics that are necessary to play and every gamer will notice instantly is undeniable. Was there no one in team that said ,,Hey i am missing every turn while driving, please zoom out the minimap.´´ for last years in development? I am also getting a really weird vibe from the state of the game at release and it is not a good one. Something went definitely wrong there. Seems like Anthem, where they redesign things over and over. Menu - overdone like 3 times and it is still average. Character creation - overdone XY times and skin looks like reptilian greenish. Ricochet bullets - overdone and barely working. Kereznikov - no longer a drug as shown in the gameplay trailer but a cyberware with missing mod slots. Braindance is a missed opportunity. There isn't even a shooting range where you could try out weapons, there is but locked. Evasion is broken. It seems like they were overdoing things on every level and category instead of progressing. I understand that developing such a game is not an easy task but from a job perspective, it is CDPR job. The game just holds barely with the amazing design of Night City, art style and characters.

Disappointing

This game needed months more development time. CDPR actively misleaded the state of the game in promotion. If the bugs are ironed out it seems like a pretty good single player action game. The city itself is pretty decor but nothing like a vibrant "alive" city and i don't think any patch will or can change that. CDPR, shame on you for the shambolic state of affairs.

You should be ashamed!

Great story, great ideas, great gameplay. Horrible technical implementation!

Even if it ran well it would suck.

Look, I'll be brief. If this game worked properly on Day 1 it would still be a bad game. It's fundamentally just a shell. NPCs, player path, creation, stats, weapons, AI, driving, community, virtually every in game mechanic is janky, unfinished, underwhelming and just plain useless much of the time. You can have 90% same experience with any build you make and any choices. 6 hours in and I was bored and re-installing RDR2 and Skyrim. I have already deleted, asked for a refund and don't see myself buying this ever again. Maybe not even worth it's inevitable $10 price tag next fall.

Wait before buying

Released with too many bugs and control issues to be worth getting at this time. The game feels like a rushed console port that needed more development time to work the kinks out of. If you play with keyboard and mouse you will find yourself somewhere between disappointed and frustrated at the clunky key bindings, many of which can't be changed at this time. If you have any kind of control disability, you should definitely not purchase this until they allow people to play using the controls and keybindings they want (or need). The driving mechanics are also pretty bad. There is no fluidity to the movements so you will feel like you are flooring the gas and turning the wheel to the maximum at all times. The camera adjusts itself constantly as well, so if you have the slightest bit of motion sickness you will dread getting into a vehicle. I'll be attempting to get a refund at this time because of these issues. I really want to like this game, but if my fingers can't press the right buttons and driving makes me sick, there's no point in wasting the money until I can actually play. It's really a shame (and ironic) that no effort was put into making this release disability-friendly.
