Cyberpunk 2077

I waited for CDPR to patch out the worst of the bugs and went in with an open mind, hoping for a meaty, big-budget experience. Boy did I get one: this game is not perfect, but you gotta respect the level of ambition they were aiming for here. Night city is an incredible place and the joy of the game is almost entirely in just drinking up the spectacle. Positives: - Night city is by far the most immersive game world I have ever seen by a hefty margin. It feels like the real world dialled up to 11 and is absolutely beautiful even on a middling PC. I personally might not be able to render every hair follicle but the art direction and atmosphere is top notch. - The story is great, with a cast of interesting characters. I really felt affection for Jackie, Misty etc. and many of the side characters had a lot of hidden depths. No, there is not a whole lot of roleplaying but Cyberpunk is like watching a really good Netflix series with a "choose your own adventure" twist. - Seriously, half the fun is just exploring Night City - that place is incredible -I think most builds are pretty fun on normal difficulty. I did a bit of melee/shooting/stealth/hacking/driving and the game just said "ok" and I had fun with all of it. Its not super deep but its also not a genre-focussed game. Negatives: - There are still a few bugs, like tee poses (in the intro cutscene!), occasionally getting my weapon stuck in combat (need to swap it out in the inventory screen to change it) etc. but nothing that really killed the experience for me. The game is very big and >99% bug free. - Clones in crowds (often wearing really wacky clothes to make them stick out more) - The game suffers a bit from the male gaze: e.g. when you pull a naked girl out of the bath the dead guy on top of her is wearing boxers? I like boobs as much as the next guy but its supposed to be 2077 not 1997! Just enjoy the game for what it is - I finished the game and had a blast.

Nice game.

Woke up and remembered it was out now thought i'd give it a quick go. Running 3440x1440 at the max settings (blur off) and it looks amazing... Halfway the training stuff and it feels good and runs well. +It looks amazing, the world looks/feels alive. +Creating your character hasn't been this detailed for quite some time. Hope they can keep up the quality as they did with Witcher 3!

Lets be honest the game is literally F****** cool as S***. even with the bugs and glitches. IDK why anyone would complain. be glad it finally came out and there are trying to fix it. what game doesnt come out with bugs and even game breaking bugs. Keep up the good work CD Project, i loved the witcher series. I know this game will be just a good once its up to full capacity.

My actual rating would be closer to 4.5 so the closest to that was 5 and not 4 stars. I will keep things short: The hate CDPR got from the technical issues were absolutely justified. But now on PC the major issues seem pretty much fixed. I had only a few glitches in my whole playthrough and at no point did those glitches interfered with my enjoyment. Performance is vety meh but adequate with no issues. And the game itself. It is great. It is a master peice? No but it is great. The world, the quests, the characters and story are stellar. Just excellent. Just make sure you do all the sidequests. Some are as important or even more than the main missions. Do not do the mistake of doing the main missions only. You will be missing whole character arcs. When you have finished all, the story ends up somthing really memorable (i even liked V and Silverhand that many people had issues with). The main issues with the game is the gameplay systems. They are fully functional, they never get into the way of enjoyment. But many things like the skill trees and crafting are superficial and uninspiring. There is little depth in character builds and gearing. But again at worse they are uninteresting. Very rarely are the gameplay systems "bad". Do not fall into the badwagoning saying that the game is not trash or other exagerations. The game itself is very very good. If you think you will like it go for it. You will enjoy your time. And if you are still on the fence? I suggest the Skill up review that is increadibly detailed. I found it matches my own experience almost to the letter. The good and the bad. Too bad CDPR botched the launch that much. This gave a reputation to a game that in its heart, it is really worth it.
