buy it at your own risk

Bought the game on release, immediately realised what it was not, and dropped it after playing a few main mission and exploring around. Back then I had almost no bug, the real issues were the poor design and programming of the game, was cheap and I had no interest playing such game especially after what WE were promised. Hoping something would change (most of the customers complained and it was quite a scandal back then to the point that even CdProjectRED apologized) I said to myself that I would pick up this game in a later moment. 2 years later, mods, patches, and people talking good enough, maybe it was time to come back. So I did. Result: I never had so many bugs and glitches in a game, I normally dont give that too much weight if the game's worth it, I knew the game itself was what it was (brainless npc, scripted on-rail chasing, police system that is a crime itself, poor shop design, character editor, driving system, stealth, and more) BUT, I made peace with it, I decided I just wanted to try and enjoy the story and the world, since the visuals and the city are amazing, truly. So I did play, until, NOW. Nearly at the end of act 2, the game has decided to block my camera visual randomly during mission or whatever, reloaded 10 times to finish a main mission, the mood completely broken and I had to finish it while my camera was locked watching the ground ( barely knowing where I was going). Hoped the mission was the issue, then continued the game doing other side\main missions only to find out that the camera would keep getting stuck forcing me to reload, last a few seconds again the locked, and reload again. Never had this problem before and now the game is perma broken, it is impossible to even continue playing like this. Besides, everyone has different issues with this game. At this stage this game is a gamble, if you are lucky you won't experience major bugs, if not, your game will break, are you happy to give any money for this? I don't think so.

I dig it.

Where the game shines: Combat is exhilarating but stealth is rewarding. A lot of variety on how you approach a map, with most having many possible entrances. Music is varied and vibrant. Everything from Run the Jewels to Miles Davis can be listened to on the radio. Even the game's own score surprised me. Most cyberpunk themed games would have a cheesy synthwave soundtrack slapped on but CP2077's soundtrack is more expressive and not obsessed with reminding you the 80s happened. Character customization, while not as robust as say Elden Ring or Skyrim, still allows you to add a lot of unique personality to your character. Worldbuilding is very in-depth. characters have their own lingo, the world has its own history, and many of the characters you meet introduce some deep theme. For instance, you may find yourself saving a buddhist monk that has been forced to undergo cybernetic augmentation, or driving someone to the doctor after a... phallic enhancement goes horribly wrong. Where the game falls short: The huge open world isn't very consistent with content. Some areas have millions of things to do and others are empty. It gives you 3 origin stories to choose from, but your choice doesn't change anything significant. There are some dialog options unique to each, but none that affect the course of the story. Would be cool for your choice of origin to have more impact. Game breaking glitches have been fixed, but many immersion breaking bugs remain. It kills any seriousness in the story when characters are T posing during cutscenes.

Preem work chooms

Technical aspect aside, the game delivers emotions. Experiences. The prose of life, the stories behind different characters, broken dreams, ups and downs, the friendships, the fucked up shit that happens to real people. There were moments I was bored and moments I was hardly able to mutter "Damn". Johnny's character messes with your head. There is some lesson about ideals and human despair but I suppose, everyone'll have their own personal take on this. Highly recommend. Well done.

not worth it 3Y later

The story, graphics, music and sound are all great, 10/10, but it's too bad it was made by CDPR. 3 years later it still has bugs and crashes constantly. Probably this will be playable at 2.1 or 2.2.

They took Cyberpunk out of my library

I used to enjoy playing Cyberpunk, until it suddenly vanished from my game library. When I tried to reach out to customer service for help, my attempts went unanswered. This experience has been frustrating. I'm still waiting for a response after a month.
