Cyberpunk 2077

I do not understand how you can customize your junk, but not which keys you want to use to play the game. The whole keyboard binding is janky and a mess. Forced to use the TAB key for activating your cyber gear - then you have to use the F key to interact with stuff. Can't change it with the interface in game - and I'm too disappointed to do it manually by editing some usersettings.json file. My multi-button mouse is basically useless and I do not game with a controller - this is a computer. Yes the game is pretty - but if I can't configure the game so I can move and interact like I want to - then I'll just go back to a game where keybindings work, like AC Odyssey.

no matter how many times you patch cyberpunk, even if you patched literally every single bug, it would still have the fundamental problem of just being another tired open world game. have you played assassins creed or far cry? well then you've played this game. with exception of a few interesting side quests, almost all of the open world content is just a not so subtle variation of go here, kill that, collect that, rinse and repeat. an amazing art style will only ever take you so far, and this game just has nothing particular interesting to say you haven't heard in other better Sc-Fi like blade runner or ghost in the shell. for all it's talk of being human and what it means to be human and have a soul, this game doesn't seem to have any soul at all. it's like the video game equivalent of that guy who can quote the cool guy lines from action movies real well, and wear cool clothes, but underneath it all is just a boring human being who'd rather imitate than create.

Graphically, the game is stunning and CDPR have done a great job of creating a city. That's where the praise ends. Character creation is incredibly limited for such a contemporary game. There are MMOs with much richer character creation than CP2077 offered. This is a massive let down! -1 Star The story is actually really good. Insanely good and like CDPR's marketing campaign, the promise at the start is palpable. However, then they throw the classic sense of urgency at you. In the Witcher III, we were given a mission but there was no hurry, so we were given a legitimate chance to explore the world and experience the wonderful side quests on offer. CP2077 makes you feel as though you're supposed to rush through to the end or else... stupid. -1 Star Glitches Galore. So many times main characters just got into my car... while I was driving at 200km/h... A lot of other glitches but there are forums describing these so I need not. I've played enough Bethesda games to appreciate bugs are a thing but CDPR always say "when it's ready" and this clearly was not. -1 Star Graphically, the world was amazing. Rich and varied and the places all seemed to make sense. I loved driving through NC with raytracing on and watching the skyscrapers glisten off my car. +1 star A large portionof the game is spent driving... ugh wow. -1 Star Conclusion: I could never ever recommend this game. This also from someone desperate to love it. Shame it didn't work out.

- no RPG (not even close to the witcher 3) - main-story on the quality level of Watchdogs - loot system = trash you don‘t need everywhere - bugs still not fixed, will take years I guess - AI and logic on a beta-game level - city and NPCs just decoration and useless - after finishing the main-story, have fun with 200 boring missions left

Sadly Cyberpunk is NOTHING like what was promised. For ages we saw videos and interviews explaining all the amazing features that would be in the game. All the cool mechanics. All the new ideas that would make it stand out and unique. In the end, we got a bare bones open world shooter, that fails on almost every level. Character development is practically non-existent. There's stats and skills (which are mostly just passives) that can slightly improve your character in certain regards. However all the gameplay is still 100% reliant on PLAYER skill, not character skill. So if your FPS skills are good, you'll breeze through the game. You can have no stats or skills tied to using gun, grab a pistol and just slaughter your way with ease. The weapon system is poor. There's a variety of guns, which mostly all do the same thing, and have wildly randomized stats. So you might have two versions of the same pistol with one doing three times the damage as the other. So getting good gear is entirely luck based. And the horrific crafting system doesn't help with that. The gear you craft is just as random, so you might waste a lot of materials trying to make something that's not garbage. The AI is non-existent. In combat, enemies mostly either stand in the open shooting (when they don't ignore you completely) or duck behind cover and just sit there. No flanking, no tactics, just target dummies. NPC's on the street are bland and lifeless, and usually just sqaut in place if a shot goes off (and disappear if you turn your back). The vehicle AI is also just not there. Cars follow set paths on the road, they won't swerve or avoid obstacles, they'll just stop and sit there forever. They also disappear when you turn away. The "open world" is dead and lifeless. No minigames or distractions like every other open world. Just a thousand "go here, kill/stealth guards, take/hack X" missions, repeated endlessly. Basically none of what was promised was delivered. Don't waste your money.
