Cyberpunk 2077

A grand projectthat trips on itself by its own faults, is like the meme of the kid in the bike that himself puts a pipe on the weels and falls. Cyberpunk world is an interesting world, somewhat like blade runner-ish but set in a world that the future its owned by private corportations and the government, well, they are on their bare bones but with almost no flying cars that you can drive in which i dont care. At the start you begin in a semi linear story and is closed in to a section of the city, once you finish that part you will see the entire city and outskirts open up and we have the end in which it somewhat branches out depending on how you want the story to end. The main story is ok, some of the characters are neat and is fun to see Keanu in its rebel rock terrorist side in action, plus you get to do many things in different areas with different protagonists in which will give you plenty to do, but heres a flaw, once the world open, it tends to spread a little bit too thin, in which at least 2/3 of the other quests are fine while others arent even worth it. Plus dialogue in some cases are above average in which doesnt bring any impact or some events that were awesome specially one that i had to attack a rogue cybergirl that brought some sense of horror and weirdness Music presentation is good in its way but not my type in which i just turned off the radio and the music for the combat... im split since i ended up lowering the volume because repeating the same theme over and over became annoying. Mechanics and presentation, controls are not the bext in pc and didnt had a better flow, i finished the game on patch 1.5.2 if im not mistaken... there were a lot of improvements but still carrying in the computre a new CPU and a good GPU RTX card, there were still bugs and for the engine to be able to carry the game, they cut a lot , even there places that there were no one in it. Still police was broken and missing a lot after launch.

Lies, greed, and deception. Words that could be used to describe the corporate world within CD Projekt Red's new game, Cyberpunk 2077. Nobody could've guessed that in the real world, the corporate anti-hero of the gaming industry would fall to the same wickedness that their lead man, Johnny Silverhand, so fervently detests.

The game features a great atmosphere in a dense and stunnning city. Continuous bugs will pull you out of immersion. Most of them are funny, others will force you to reload the game. So, in two hours, quest characters stuck themselves in wall or teleported. Random objets exploded around. Characters lips didn't move while they were talking. Ballgagged characters could talk. Objets like phones or guns suddenly disapeared from characters while they were still performing animations. I could see pedestrians walking while peeing. Concerning PC controls, the game feels like a bad 2000 console port. You can't assign actions properly to the keys, really strange choices like double tap on keyboard to dodge or crouch to speek dialogues. AI is verry basic. To conclude, if you do not consider pricing or marketing practices or technical problems, this game is probably one of the best in a long time.

Not even Keanu can justify an Alpha for 60€. But where the tecnical problems can be fixed with GB of patches, can't say the same with the TONS of features completely cut off and/or missing from the final release, like the RPG. This is not an RPG, this is not what you kept promising us in the last 10 years, this is not even a good Open World Adventure game. This is just the last sad story in a media that already have plenty of this in it.

Audiovisually the game is excellet, if a bit lifeless, and the writing is generally at least passable. A lot of effort has clearly gone into the afore mentioned as well as the cutscenes and story bits, but it seems that all that happend at the expense of everything else. And while there are the things like lacking AI all around the place and lacing interactivity, most sorely that loss of effort and focus is felt in the gameplay department. The game is not an RPG, make no mistake thinking it is one. It's a storydriven open world looter shooter adventure that relies so much in its selfappointed narrative excellence that it completely forgets that games made to be played first and foremost. And that manifests in the horrible loot system, weak character systems and other halfdeveloped features like crafting. It's almost like the games had an identity crisis at some point, but didn't do anything about it and thus left somewhere in between with all of its faults. You spend the entire game killing tons of people through witless mechanisms - though some of them understandable since it at some point wanted to be an RPG - that make the player compare digist or armor and damage values, thinking about if 5% damage/armor increments in the perk trees are worth anything, figuring about the lack of enemy AI, finding out the whole thing is completely out of balance with some very easy to achieve power builds already early on. And of course watching heavy cutscenes while suffering through the longwinded main missions of the quite short main story (that feels out of place with it's length and finality if looking against how much there is to do in the world around it). I found that the small gigs from the fixers were the best part of the game. Simple, yes, not very narrative heavy, but they felt like that's what the sort of edgerunner like the protagonist would do. There is some potential in the game, but it needs quite a bit of work still and some heavy redesigning in places.
