Tried to give it a chance.

I've heard VERY mixed things about this game since it came out, wanted to play it since I built my new PC, and thought now was a "better than ever" time to play, since the Ultimate Edition just released. I still have mixed feelings. Starting off with the common "RPG isn't actually an RPG" criticism, I really don't feel like I'm playing as my own character, ESPECIALLY since I can't change my name, or choose another voice outside of the default Male/Female choices, a thing that's been around in RPGs since the early 2000s (albeit, a minor complaint). I'm also really not a fan of the Stealth/Combat mechanics, since there's basically no reason to go stealth-y, and you can easily run-and-gun your enemies, on hard. Graphically, the game looks STUNNING, but is ruined by a need for high-end GPUs to get a decent framerate with RT, and even without it, framerates fluctuate MASSIVELY, which is really more of a problem for modern PC Gaming in general. I like the game, but not enough to keep it, ESPECIALLY since it's now 4 years old, and almost $60 for the *actual* full game. CP2077 is a prime example of why modern PC gaming just... sucks. Released unfinished, only fixed with years of patching, all for a worse experience than games you can buy ON THIS VERY SITE, for a quarter of the price, at least. Save your money, and wait for a price reduction for those who'd still like to play.

A Revolutionary Game. Almost Perfect.

Playing this game is like being a character in a film. I've lost count of the amount of times I've sat here grinning like an idiot as I was in a gunfight crouched behind the bar as enemies shot up the bottles around me. Or as I missile launched an enemy off the roof, went into bullet time and then dove off after him as he fell unloading an assault rifle magazine into him. The car combat is like an action movie, the story is perfect, the cyberware and XP perk system is shooting hoops and slamdunking as you gain power. The atmosphere and graphics are unparalelled. Only enhanced by the story and characters. The attention to detail, NPC culture and gang culture is nothing less than world building. The sounds and weather make you feel like you're living in the game. For a month I was borderline addicted (still haven't finished the game) and restarted multiple times. I'm not exaggerating when I say this game is a breakthrough and a revolution in gaming. But after 1 month of playing it almost constantly I've rage quit becuase I can't deal with the moronic 1-shot fall damage, self inflicted splash damage, level scaling of enemies and stat checks (which destroys roleplaying) and the randomisation of stat modifiers on cyberware - some of which don't actually do anything. As I'm a bit OCD I want to play the game on ironman mode, I'll come back to it in the future when I've got the time to find mods that fix this stuff with the current patch. And right now the thought of starting again is just beyond me. Got me worried for a minute there...almost thought the game was perfect, and it would take over my life.

Entertaining Gameplay

The Gameplay is very entertaining once you get the hang of it, it's kinda difficult to grasp on the controls and mechanics right away, but once you got it is very rewarding. Nevertheless.. the controls and driving are not very good, and the story it beggins very convoluted, if you really want to understand it you're forced to check up some YT videos about the lore of the game, the city and how it works, and then it kind of make sense, the game throws you at the story as if you already know everything about the world. Still, it's been a good experience so far.

After 185 hours

Solid first entry into a new IP but it's pretty heavily front loaded and there are a lot of missed opportunities that stop it from being great. Take Lizzy Wizzy as an example: created for the video game, used in trailers, great design, intriguing character, but used for a single short boring quest in the main game and a cameo in the DLC. The lore is that she poisoned herself at a huge concert and got fully chromed up live on stage as part of the performance, how cool would it have been to actually experience that instead of being relegated to text. The same thing happens throughout the game with various characters/groups/corps that I was really hoping to sink my teeth into because they sound super interesting for the world building but most of the time they're a one and done quest at best and just text that has no impact on the actual game at worst Cyberpunk is my favourite genre and I enjoyed the vast majority of my time with there being too many positives to fit in the word limit. I’m really looking forward to how the series is handled, especially if the quality increases are anything like the Witcher trilogy.
