Cyberpunk 2077

I completed the game last year, and have just started through it again. If not for the constant barrage of critisism I could honestly say that I've noticed very little wrong with the game. Sure, there are bugs, but no more than any other open world game. The pros far outway the cons, the main story (though short) is engaging, and on my second play through I'm still seeing areas I'd not visited previously and certainly being regularly 'wowed' by the graphics (everything is on the highest setting and it runs like a dream). I've had the odd bug that's stopped progression with certain side quests, but I'm not going to complain like a toddler about that, the game is quite an achievement to say the last. 100% happy? Nope, but I accept it for what it is, and enjoyed playing through the game enough to start all over again. Highly recommended.

thought it would be a lot worse but was pleasantly surprised by the game, i do like it but it is really flawed at the same time, hopefully they fix it up to make it a solid game

Cyberpunk to me is a great game today if taken on its own and not looking at what some hyped it up to be. It kinda moves from its RPG roots in the witcher to a far more "Skyrim"-esque RPG take where the missions themselves rarely gives you a choice on how they will resolve. The RPG element is thus reduced for the most part to choosing what missions to do and what not to do. The people you meet will most often not really matter for more than a quest or two with the exception of a select few (maybe 10) that show up more often than that. Despite this and the occasional minor bugs that are still in the game I really enjoyed my journey through Cyberpunk2077. Why? Because despite the major part of the side quests feeling rather generic there are true masterpieces among them as well, scenes where the game actually gave me goosebumps because the atmosphere, setting and presentation was so well done. So while the game has its flaws its story telling and presentation was for me still well worth the time and money spent. Just make sure to not miss out on the side plots offered by the characters you meet during the main storyline The good - The stories told by this games main missions and some side missions (typically the ones from characters you meet during the main plotline) - The feeling and presentation in many scenes The bad - The lack of impactful dialogue choice in most missions - Clunky controls for PC - The occasional bugs (always solved by reloading so far for me) - Occasionally the voice acting is incoherrent, in a few rare ocassions V can go from normal converation to yelling between sentances without any reason

Even with the buggy release that occured, coming back to this a year later and experiencing the game properly for the first time is unreal. The game will leave you stunned and wanting to keep coming back. + The endings are written beautifully.

January 2013 - CP2077 trailor dropped. Hopped on the hyper-train. Brag about the game to all my friends. June 2019 - preordered the game instantly. Even purchased the game on GOG instead of Steam so CDPR can get all my money. Prompted my friends to buy the game on GOG as well. December 2020 - what the actual f**k is this? Will never recover from the insane disappointment and embarrassment. 1 stars for teaching me the hard lesson to never preorder another game ever again.
