Cyberpunk 2077

The game is an unfinished mess in it's current state. Not just because of the enormous amount of bugs, many of which softlock the progression, but also because of all the missing features that were promised. The game feels like an early prototype at best. The AI is terrible, the physics glitchy, basic features are missing and the interactivity with the world is almost as basic as it gets. One of the few positives the game has, are its great and charming characters and the beatiful cityscape. But that alone is not enough to carry this hollow, broken mess of a game. If you are interested in the game, wait a year or so and see if the developers have fixed the glitches and more importantly added the missing features that were promised.

Cons: - The NPCs walking around the world only give one-liners and act like zombies. - The police don't have cars and therefore can't chase you even if they wanted to. - Police spawn directly in front of you giving you zero chance to survive them and disappear when you drive 50 meters away - The controller sensitivity is really bad, even for an RPG. - The controller layout often leads to actions you don't intend to such as skipping dialogue when you need to crouch, going to the main menu instead of the in-game menu. - There is little to do outside of missions. - The AI is really bad, worse than most games of the last decade and more. - There is too much uninteresting loot to pick up. - Buying cars is a hassle. - Weapons seem repetitive after a while with little variety. - Lack of variety in weapon attachments and customization. - Clothing shops are too expensive and lack a variety. - NPCs drive like complete idiots. They can't switch lanes to go around cars. - This game feels way too perverted with little variety in themes open world. - But somehow there is only one male and female joytoy (prostitute) in the entire world. (Makes no sense) - The open world does not seems to reactive to the story as you go along. Major things happen and not much usually changes in the world itself. - All the streets are named, but you can barely see 95% of the street names. - Did I mention bugs on PC. I have had to reinstall the game three times, restart the game over 5 times, and reload saves a few dozen times. - The vast majority of things in this game is fake and non-interactable. - Food is practically useless. - etc. Pros: - Good story - A variety of side missions that all feel worth doing. - A variety of ways to build your character. - The graphics are gorgeous. - A city LAYOUT so lifelike that I never fast travel. - The cars all feel different. - Currency in this game feels like you actually have to earn it. - Likeable characters. - Plenty of skills to acquire and upgrade.

We are on patch 5 after the release of the game. I still can't reliably pick up loot items. This seems like pretty basic functionality you would need before shipping. A bunch of perks are just unimplemented. Armor appears to do nothing, though that may because the Tech scaling on it doesn't work. Maybe a year from now this will be a functional game.

Skyrim had less bugs for me at launch than this mess, but at least skyrim was an RPG. Cyberpunk does not feel like an RPG at all, more like a ubisoft "RPG pretender" game. Story's good though. Feels like a bad console port, all innputs delayed and what not. Will probably never finish the game, or preorder / buy a game at release. I'll wait a year, and try it again though. CDPR's good rep is all gone, the devs are raging against the suits. So I guess management need to be fixed before CDPR are a valid game company again.. Welcome to bethesda V 2.0, won't even let the modders fix the game. Get 2 stars for a good story. Not worth your money. Maybe worth your money in 2 years. ( on sale ofc ). Never belive the hype lads! xD

I won't go through a "standard" review since by now everyone knows the issues this game has. So i'll just write what i personally feel toward this game. So your opinions might differ. Yeah, i don't know what happens but something tells me this game had a similar situation of which anthem went through: devs knowing and telling the suit guys the game wasn't ready, suits not caring for us all gamers, and only doing so towards investors and stocks to end q4 on a positive note. Well we now know that backfired didn't it. This is far from an open world rpg. It's an open world fps action. Sure, CDPR will fix the bugs and glitches, but they can't fix the core of the game, which is a shallow first person action adventure with a talent tree and some sidequests. It feels more like im playing a futuristic borderlands rather than a futuristic witcher 3 (which it's the way it was marketed, imagine w3 but bigger and better. Yeah no.) Is it a bad game? No. Is it what was advertised and hyped to be? Hell to the f*ckin no. IA is abysmal, police system is outright broken, no character/car/apt customization and i could go on and on and on. What really gets me is how shallow this "world" feel. What a disappointment. I guess it's lesson learned. Don't trust ANYBODY. CDPR is the only SH i would preorder blindly to it, and i guess they did everything in their power to lemme change that opinion. I will NEVER EVER preorder a game ever again. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. It's sad really. It really is.
