Cyberpunk 2077

Pros: * Graphics/Design * Characters (feels immersive and bonding) * Voice acting * Music * Cyberware/Cyberspace/Techie/Netrunner/Futuristic stuffs Neutral: * Combat * Driving * Map and minimap * Story (spoiler alert! personal thoughts: kinda feel like a semi-linear story instead of an open world concept; also understand the lore of Cyberpunk in general is a sad dystopian world but somehow the fact that our main character - irregardless of the choices we made, V will die in 6 months time seems kinda "meh" ..or perhaps not sure whether V is facing schizophrenia? hope in the future there will expansions or dlc's :shrug:but focusing on V's post Nocturne op55n1 quest and the decision V made) Cons: * Glitches (mostly graphic glitches - seldom it is so annoying suddenly seeing flying NPC's or vehicles, NPC's spawning out of nowhere, etc) * A.I (NPC's) * City is huge but seems lifeless with little interaction and customization (V's apartment, vehicles) * U.I (rather a bit inconvenient; e.g inventory, key binding, etc)

Despite the rough this was one of my favourite experiences in quite some time. Yes, we've all seen the bug compilations and crowbcat video, but to me the behind the scenes issues didn't hamper what was delivered. And i got what i wanted from this game. I was expecting witcher 3 wih guns and i got witcher 3 with guns. I wanted a game that finally put the writing and the worldbuilding front and center and Cyberpunk 2077 delivered in a way that i really wasn't expecting. While the lifepaths are a borderline joke and there aren't major story branches outside of the endings, but the care put into making Night City believable is astounding, especially considering the bulk of the plot was made in like 2 years. And speaking of the endings man oh man, act 3 might be rushed, but the endings are amazing and thought provoking. Some of the sidequests are so high in quality i even forgot they weren't main quests. The narrative can be extremely subtle and the characters are very realistic in how they behave. The story in this game is like a fine wine, you have to respect it and savor it and will probably age marvelously. The tl;dr: if you want a story focused game that can be subtle and internally consistent and the idea of playing an open world deus ex sounds enticing to you then you might enjoy the game despite all the media buzz.

Keep in mind I played on PC with RTX 2080. PROS: -awesome graphics, awesome music, awesome character animations, Keanu Reeves (!); -the plot is awesome, it's a concoction of all famous cyberpunk concepts wrapped in one beautiful game; -the main NPCs are so well done, you wanna dive into their backstories, some gave me chills. well done! -some bugs are SO WOW i put it as a pro point. I loved when V could just randomly fly away and see the whole map - you just cannot do it on purpose, this is some divine work! :D CONS: -AI, enemies sometimes freeze and are not attacking (I played on hard mode) and don't provide much of a challenge (after level 40 you become quite OP); -when you have to steal cars, you'd would expect a crazy pursuit with tons of adrenaline and gunfights; -(SPOILER) when you finish the game as a legend of Afterlife, I'd expect to have at least some of my carefully picked gear in the new apartment, not some ugly clothes and common weapons - V suppose to be a legend here! :( -random deaths (I call them "V's heartattacks") - just walking on the street and poof, flatlined xD I anticipate the DLC to be awesome! Can't wait!

I spent around 160h to finish the game. And I like it a lot, the best RPG game since Witcher. Why? Because of the main story, gigs and game characters, beautiful Night City. There is a very good cyberpunk atmosphere with different national tone in a different city blocks. I never used fast travel in game and drive through the city on car to catch NCPD events along the path to quest points. Of course there is a lot of glitches but nothing serious, just minor bugs. Of course there is a lot of space for improvements and for additional content. There is a lack of implants, weapon modifications. I hope they will keep to work on this game, I will definitely play again if they release addon and add additional content.

First: I did not encounter any bugs worth of mentioning - I have learned other players have experienced differently. Positive: - the main story is interesting and genuine (but a bit too forseeable) - Graphics are spectacular (not so big a bonus in my view, but you might think differently) - available weapons suit different combat styles (I preferred a sniper rifle for ranged and a katana for close combat, nothing in-between) - some of the side quests are real gems - sneaking system is good. I used to detest sneak missions, but in this game they were quite enjoyable. Negative: - the car driving nearly drove me insane. I found it almost impossible to control a car *and* to go at a higher speed... I ended up completing a *car chase* quest by *running* in pursuit of the other car... - main story is quite short and lacks surprises To sum it up: Yes, there are better games in this genre. Still, the game was captivating enough to keep me playing to the end (while finishing nearly all available side quests). I enjoyed it from start to end and I felt even though the price is not quite at bargain level, my money was well spent.
