Cyberpunk 2077

Just finished the game after 75 hours of gameplay. Including every side quest, gig, and main storyline. I could not muster up the time and energy needed to do the NCPD scanner "quests" or collect-a-car-athon. After hour 60 or so, the passion and energy I had to come home to play this magically dissapeared. I was immersed in the story and the characters, but in that ending I played I was left wanting so much more. All of my choices, the culmination of my story, just fell out the bottom, much like a wet fart. Once the credits started to roll, I was excited to see what would happen once I was back in night city, but to my dismay. NOTHING. All of my hard work, all those hours, the stories told, and it wrapped up like soggy bottom biscuit in a damp, brown paper bag. I received no reward for finishing the game my unique way. This game could have been great, it had potential, and deep down I still hope this game finally gets finished in whatever state it may be. I can not, and it really pains me to say this, but I do not recommend this game to anyone in the state it is now [patch 1.0.6]. The story, while immersive at times, just does not deliver enough to justify spending the hours needed to fully complete it. The bugs I trogged through. the poor optimization settings I had to triffle with to even get this run "smoothly", and the constant hope of it will get better until it finally ends with the resounding dud of a cheap, knockoff smoke bomb. I wish I had better things to say about this, but I can not in good faith say that this was a good experience. The fun I did have was forced to justify spending money on a half-baked, incomplete, husk of a video game. Stay away, and pour your time and effort in a game that rewards you for your unique choices. 4/10 My faith in CDPR is in shambles and they do not seem like they are even attempting to reconcile any of it back. Such a shame. Thank you for reading, have a nice day.

Unfortunately, this game is just not ready and with all the patches being announced, it's not worth playing at this time. From what I've seen, wait this out 6-12 months and then you may experience a decent game.

I am currently at almost 40 hours in my playtrough. Besides the bugs and glitches, some core features are definetly missing or are underdeveloped, the driving is bad, the main story is poorly written, the AI is broken, But I still want to keep playing it, there are some great moments in the secondary storylines and missions, experimenting with the various builds is interesting, the graphics are great (even if I personally hate some design choiches with the characters). I mean, if you just didn't put all this marketing pressure on the development, it could be a good game. I wait for the dlc and future development of the game.

+ story is genuine, deep, dark + stroylines are mostly well-written - messy driving controls - empty looting system - painfully dumb AI - generally unimmersive feeling because of bugs and false reactions by the environment - police is a joke, either not acting or killing in seconds if I fail to run 20 meters to lose them. Personally, I invested in the Technical ability tree for my character to craft awesome items... - had to dismantle more than in WoW, taking dozens of hours of clicking on the 1by1. Even RDR2 crafting was more fun - hardly had enough material to craft a single legendary item, a knife, only to throw at an enemy for it to disappear forever - cant respec, so actually lost out on half the possibilities because I thought crafting would earn something in contrast All these could have been polished by some folks that do programming not just CGI, but it looks like the trailer was right when it said: "In Night City, looks are everything". I truly hope that the developer team (and also the Corpo marketing team that pushed them) will learn a lot from this mess and continue to build upon the graphics and story setting of this game, but this is merely an alpha of what was imagined.

The Game is not good. While the world has a lot of details, I don't play games just to look at detailed worlds. I want to interact with them. And that is not possible. Additionally most side quests are boring. Also the programmers seem to be incompetent at times. They save the game to %USERPROFILE%/My Saved Games. Which of course doesn't help, if you moved that folder using Windows own functions... They should have read that value from the registry and not just "guess" that it probably is there. And because they messed cloud saves up at first too, I lost my progress (99% side quests before the point of return). And the game is not good enough, I am not will to play this again.
