Cyberpunk 2077

I've put about 20 hours into the game and I can't be bothered to play any more. Not only does the game have a myriad of technical issues (from bugs and glitches to terrible optimization), the content just doesn't flow. My biggest problem with Cyberpunk is that it doesn't feel organic. Gameplay is clunky in every aspect; from the driving, to combat, to stealth. The controls are terrible, mouse movement feels laggy and imprecise and keyboard bindings are all over the place. The different aspects of the game never quite come together into a cohesive whole, there's a feeling of constant disconnect throughout every aspect of it. The game is also terrible at communicating side-content. At the 20 hour mark, most of the side-content I've has been stopping crimes in random events on the map. Most other side-content requires digging. This would be fine, were Night City interesting to explore; but it feels terribly manufactured. Pretty, but without a soul. A decorated box full of robotic ants on a loop. The main quest(s) is the relative highlight. The writing is solid and the performances are amazing; but even the story feels fractured at parts. The game doesn't ease you into this world, it bombards you with terminology and characters, you feel disconnected at all times. Remember how confusing Witcher 2 was for anyone not into the books? It's the same deal here. Remember how organic everything felt in Witcher 3? It's the opposite of that. Unforutnately, the 'meh' content, combined with the technical issues, make this a hard sell. A mediocre game can get a pass if it's entertaining, but not when story-critical dialogue gets cut-off, because the timing is off. First person immersion is clever, but not when everything glitches more than a Bethesda game. Sorry CDPR; I love you guys, but this just isn't it. I'd like to believe it can be fixed, but its problems go deeper than QA; the very core of the game is broken.

This game has just too many issues yet. Check it again on easter / summer sale. Most issues should be solved then. Without these issues it will be a great game I think. But right now i regret preordering it.

The game looks great and the quests are well written but that is it. You released the game in a horrible state, even now with 1.05 you made quests unfinishable for example 2nd conflict. I've had it, I want to like the game but I just can not. V has no personality whatsoever, you can never be actually rude, you just can say very nice things or nice things. The roleplaying aspect of the game is completely irrelevant, skills do not really matter they are not balanced or meaningfull. It just feels like another candy, nice to have but no must. You released trailers like "Styles" explaining what fashion is in the game, great that this just applies to the NPCs and not to the actual player. You see cool clothes? Well too bad you do not get to wear it, here where a strawhat and some hotpants. Crafting/Upgrading feels as meaningless as everything else in the game. You will get loot every few minutes and do not make enough materials for it to have any meaning. As you will run out of rare/legendary stuff and meanwhile loot more of the same so what is the point? The AI of the NPCs is questionable at best. For now i will uninstall this game, maybe I will check in at a later date in a year or so. You should have delayed the game to 2021, only release on pc and make a console version at a later date. I feel sorry for the crunch that your employees have suffered from. For now I lost my trust in CDPR as a developer. The only upside is that I made enough money with shares so that the game paid for itself in a way. So yeah a big fail of a game, sadly.

Initially, I was pleasantly surprised by this game. It felt alive. It worked great except for some minor bugs. After three playthroughs with different endings, I must admit this game misses so much content - it has been ripped off just before the release. To name a few examples: There is only one corporation that plays a major role in the game. Gangs are very flat and with one or two exceptions they have no influence on the storyline. There are audio parts that do not fit a character environment (It's hard to explain but you will know when you hear them) Other flaws: A lot of very heavy, existential topics, Johny outshines the main character, Endings are depressing, even a 'good/positive' one, Overuse of unskippable QTE (Quick time events), Awkward romance scenes, UI is bugged, Combat is way too easy even on very hard

CP277 is an unfinished and borken mess. Besides the story and the overall graphical presentation the game doesn't get anything right. All the rpg elements hardly matter and the game-mechanics either don't work all or they are completely unbalanced and useless. The item system is a bad joke. There is no reason to toy around with "the most believable open-world" because there is simpely nothing to do in it. Npcs don't react properly, not just because the game is the biggest glitch fest I've ever encountered in my over 30 years of playing computer games but because nobody cared to program any ai routines in the first place. It's the same with physics. They are either wrong or not existing. The traffic ai is the worst I've ever seen in any game that came out within the last 20 years. Cars can't hadle anything besides driving on predetermined tracks. Police just spans behind you (It's not a bug. It's a feature) and doesn't have the ability to persoue you. You can basically escape every fight by running a few seconds in any direction. And I could go on and on... This game is nothing but a product of false promise, straight lies and corporate creed. How ironic.
