Cyberpunk 2077

While its launch may have been rocky, by the conclusion of the game and its narrative (version 1.31) this is truly one of the greatest video games ever made. The gameplay, its interplay of mechanics and the world itself is sublime; Night City is a marvel to walk about and breathe its very atmosphere in. The narrative is inexorably gripping and entices throughout. I do wish, as a single entity, that the main story arc were a touch longer (as a side mission completionist this offset this to a degree), yet, despite this, it is engrossing and more so, it is human and questioning and searching of our corporeal condition. A special note must be made of the writing in Cyberpunk (the wonders of the mechanics aside); I don't think any AAA RPG before has managed to imbue so much real pathos into characters as the writers and actors and all the talent behind Cyberpunk were able to into this title - there is a scene at Clouds which will remain etched in my memory forever, as much as any silver screen of the cinema could offer. Beyond all this, it is the characters that are the driving force in this game, the relationships that you as V form with them and around them. Again, I do wish, in 120 hours of gameplay, that there was a bit more interaction with your relationship partner, but the arc (for the ending I obtained... 2nd time around) was perfect and I wouldn't change it for the world. There were a few side quests that were a touch too repetitive, although they were in the minority; by and large, they were brilliant, and like 'Clouds', several of them will stick with me. The omnipresence of Johnny was a masterstroke, and the lack of an overarching, moral judgement system was perfect; allowing the player, allowing V, to be the arbiter of this fused humanist ethics vibrantly and... questioningly - marvelous. While the brilliance of Night City and its inhabitants may be found in failure from great intent; Cyberpunk 2077, as a title, is the zenith of greatness & intent.

After completing most of side quests, today I finished main story, several endings. Claps and bows down to CDPR: Thank you. I waited whole year after release, in the meantime got myself new GPU and enjoyed this beauty in its full glory. Despite all the bugs and glitches and other controversy, I'm glad that I avoided popular hype train of lets-spit-on-this-game-no-matter-of-anything, and I decided to play it. And I'm quite positive that if you love the genre you will enjoy it! Only thing left is to finish remain gigs, and hope for good DLCs

So far this game is absolutely amazing! No issues, Flawless gameplay and superb Cyberpunk immersion. High tech low life gritty atmosphere. Cyberpunk 2077 5/5 Stars! A++++ :)

Writing as of v1.31, 17th Dec 21. Great Game, hence the 5 stars. Playing on an R7 2ndGen, RTX 2060 supper with 16Gb of ram on Windows 11. Nothing over clocked, and all factory. Runs like a dream. For the bad reviews. Yes it was a tad messy when it first came out (Dec. 2020). CDPR has done a fantastic job of providing updates to address the majority of issues. Been playing for a while now. And nothing game braking, or serious has happen to me. Also just remember other big AAA titles suffer from "errors". RDR2 for example, I still see the odd horse floating way up in the air sometimes (amongst other things). But I don't see it as game breaking. Just a bit of laugh. After all, a game is just a way to convey a story, not real life. For a good, unique, thought out story line. 5 stars. And it has multiple ends too :) The content in the game is fantastic. Graphics are awesome. Plenty to keep yourself occupied with. So if you like other CDPR titles, like the Witcher, and are put off by some of the negative reviews. Do yourself a favor and purchase it. At the moment of writing it 50% off, and Gog has a way better policy then other platforms if you don't like it. Again, great game, fantastic story line, great graphics. Good assortment of guns, clothes, consumables, cars, bikes and random events. Customizing you character is also fun :) Without spoiling the story line, yes, it has multiple endings. All depends on the path you choose to help yourself, or Johnny Silverhand (Ah, most excellent wild stallions, lol), or both, who knows ;) So, do I suggest you purchase this game. Yes, I most certainly do :) And remember to have a most excellent adventure LOL.
