Cyberpunk 2077

What I expected was deep, mature RPG with many meaningful decisions and a rich open world in the Cyberpunk universe. These things were advertised in countless interviews and videos in the past two years. But what you get, when you buy this game, is a railroaded cheap shooter, with many cutscenes and a short main story. After you leave the scripted missions, there is nothing to do, besides hundreds of grindy kill missions. What you do or not do has no meaning or consequence, there is simply no RPG gameplay or content. The "skilling" and "leveling" system is a joke, the character "editor" is a joke. So, many of the characters and cutscenes are good (thanks to Keanu Reeves), but the main story is clearly cutted too and way too short (if you watched the previews you know more than the half of it). You cannot compare this game to Witcher 3, which is way better in all things. After all these years of waiting and after all these promotions I feel cheated and betrayed by CDPR. It is a shame, but this Studio goes down the road like EA, Bioware etc.. On top of all these things, this skeleton of a game has many bugs. I often had to reload a mission, because a scripted trigger was not working and there are countless graphic glitches. All in all Cyberpunk 2077 reminds me at Mass Effect: Andromeda and Fallout76. This was my last Euro this company got from me..

I don't know why it was postponed several times just to be released in this state... The good things: - Story. - Characters. - Some side quests. - Fast loading times. The bad things: pretty much everything else - Some side quests are ending abruptly, leaving feeling they were half cut. - Gigs and world activities are pretty much all the same and boring (go there, kill them, done). - Bugs and graphical glitches are everywhere (still in 1.12). - About 1/4 of perks and items don't work at all or work not as described. - An underwater perk?!!! Seriously CDPR?! When you cut something at least do it properly. - Driving feels awful, especially with motorcycles, don't devs have cars? May be pay them more CDPR? - AI: don't exist. Neither pedestrians nor cars can't go around a tiny obstacle. - Combat AI: don't exist. You can shoot 10 enemies through a wall and none of them will move his ass. They are just standing there watching their allies die, some getting shot but not killed and they're just waiting for second hit. - Police AI: I really can't understand how crime could exist in Night City when police is just teleporting to criminals and shooting them on sight? But at least it explains why there are no police chases. Who needs a car if he got a teleport? But seriously this is just unbelievable. Have devs never seen GTA, Mafia, Saints Row, etc? - Inventory hell: check. - Crafting: don't make me start on this. I almost broke a finger half way through. And at least fix craft/disassemble ratios. Personally i don't mind increasing components amount trough craft/disassemble same things, but the process is too long could you make an interface where we could just type in amount needed and it pops in our inventory? - One more not really a bad thing but still bothers me. Why do we need genital customization option if it isn't in game? Worst part is: this game had potential... Next time don't release pre-alpha, at least push it to beta...

This is such a sad game. In it's current 1.31 patch I'd be less frustrated if it were an Early Access game, but it isn't. It's a massive failure that got pulled from stores for being a hot turd. All it's gotten since is a Mythbusters style polish job. It's a bit more spherical, and has a high gloss shine. Doesn't change that when they squeezed it out for the sale rush it was still a smelly pile of barely workable code. The voice Acting was GREAT! The graphics are good, but the sweet little nuggets this game has are still buried in a giant turd. Every try to take cover by the FRONT of a parked car? Give it a try. It's a hoot. You may break something you own though if you try it during a fire fight and end up stun locked by a parked vehicle knocking you down, damaging you and honking that annoying, wimpy elecrtic beep every time you get run over by a car that isn't moving. This game is bland. It has ZERO depth. The small details in most every other open world action game I've played (like the GTA or Saints Row games) like customization of your vehicles, player pads that you can do stuff in, getting a hair cut, seeing my character in a mirror...seriously...an AI for the NPCs that isn't placeholder, you get the idea by now folks. They rode on the Witcher wave for this. And it shows. I can't recommend buying it as it is. It's just a pile of bones under a cover of glistening fat. Buy it when they cycle it on a sale, and don't pay more than half for it. It's still not worth a full price with what it offers. And as with many other game studios, this should discourage people from pre-ordering. Wait until they release it, see if it's a trashfire like this was first. Save your money for a company that is worth it. Remember that dwarf at Crows Perch? His armor was a higher quality than this game.

Story: Engaging, emotional but extremely short. Graphics: gorgeous cityscape, billboards, lightings. sharp textures (when they load) Environment: NC is the most beautiful and captivating futuristic city I've ever seen in video games to date. The sheer veticality of the city makes exploring very enjoyable, especially when you get double jump cyberleg. Well done. Music: There's no ambient music while exploring. Music only plays during scripted, story-related moments. You can listen to the radio while driving around, and the songs on the radio are absolute headbangers. Sound: Meh. Quite a lot of interactions such as walking on certain sufaces, opening car door during cutscenes, breaking windows, jumping into water etc. have no/weird sounds. It's pretty jarring at times. Combat sounds are also pretty lackluster. Voice actors/actresses deserve praises though. Very enjoyable delivery. Gameplay: This is where everything falls apart. Disregard the constant glitches and bugs that frequently take you out of the game. Or all the skills/perks that straight up don't work (Anamnesis, Neurotoxin, Rapid Bloodflow etc.). Or cyberware that don't work (Blood Pump, Kerenzikov's duration doesn't scale beyond common rarity despite stating that it does, Nanorelays). Or all the clothing mods that don't do anyting such as Deadeye & Predator. Or the horrendous/creepy shadow your character casts in sunlight... Ignore all that, and the game still falls flat. CDPR marketed a next-gen open world experience, and what you get is braindead NPCs, no gang system, life paths are 15min intros that have no impact on your gameplay/story. Very few dialogue choices matter. Vendors & bars just open a menu. No animations. Cops spawn behind you out of thin air & can't follow you etc. CDPR churned out trailers to hype up the most basic features that other games have done, except they also failed at doing the basics properly. CP2077 is a gorgeous painting that crumbles at the slightest touch. 6/10

I really enjoyed the characters and storyline, but the game feels really undercooked. Super buggy. Hacking seems really basic, and to me, visually they kind of all look and playout the same. I got so burnt out doing the same hex minigame all the time, that I just stopped doing it after a while, kind of wish it had an auto attempt option (maybe a skill perk or something). The skill tree is boring, and feels low effort. Lots of pointless skills. The city is very pretty to look at, lots of detail. The inventory UI is some of the worst I have ever seen. I junior web dev could make a better interface than this. I really enjoyed the weapons, all the different guns are fun to find and try out. Coming from Doom-like games, having only three weapon slots is really lame, especially with all the different types. There are a bunch of cars to collect, but there doesn't seem to be a point. Most of them you just buy off the road, not achieved through quest, etc. Having to constantly loot and swap armor/weapons is annoying. I wish it wasn't a looter-shooter. I would rather just continually mod a base set of weapons. You have run around smashing the button to pick things up, gets old. I would like it if some thing would auto pickup like ammo, health, etc.
