Cyberpunk 2077

So I've just spent 48h in to the game and I'll be hitting the very end of the game within I think within 2h. Specs: i7-2500k, 16gigs, GTX 970, HDD&SSD installs (I'll get into this soon) Very short version: I bought game full priced and was incredibly satisfied. Game has been way better optimized and ran so much better than I've could've anticipated. Bad: So yes, there's still some glitches in the game. Occasionally some items seem to be below surfaces to reach them, this is the worst glitch. If you stumble into this try to look bit off to the objects, which can help. Luckily this situation isn't constant at all. Then occasionally some vehicles spawn very close to player in high speeds which is very annoying. Luckily I didn't experience wonky physics which have been seen online in various videos virtually at all. Some vehicle, especially motorcycles are though really lackluster to ride in game and their "dynamics" feel very slapped on which was bit annoying to motorcyclist like myself. Now the HDD/SSD part. I had game installed on fast Raid0 WD harddrives, but they still seemed to perform insufficiently and texture popping, vehicle spawning and minor stutter was very much noticeable. Note that there is "Slow HDD" option in game options, but I didn't test it, but transferred my install to SSD which resulted in much better experience. One annoying thing was that when looking items, I constantly had to look of and again item to get statistics shown. This really happened all the time. Small glitch but annoying as it's so frequent. Minimap is annoyingly small in driving and leaves fraction of second of time to get in intersections. Some side missions annoyingly don't have map markers at all (no filter or search in map). Good: City and its surroundings are gorgeous and there's definitely that "Bladerunner" feel in many parts which I hoped for. Storyline has been outstanding so far. Performance is overall was much better than I thought for such dated hardware. 9,5/10

other users have criticized this game for mostly two reasons: 1) bugs: I started playing after patch 1.3 was released and noticed only a few minor ones (like pedestrians sometimes spawning in my field of view), but most of the bugs seem to have been fixed by now. 2) not as good as witcher 3: well that comparison is not entirely fair, as no other game is as good as witcher 3 (in my opinion); that bar is simply too high. Cyberpunk is an incredibly ambitious game and of course the studio had to make some compromises here and there. I think it is more appropriate to compare this game with the original deus ex, and it is much better! Incredible graphics and a fun experience so far (am in act 2 now and will update my review once I finished it)

A good reminder to ignore every single opinion in the future... I'm having an absolute ball with this one. Every scenario is a blast. Love it. Cyberpunk captures the world that I've always wanted to be a part of in my fantasies and here it is.

There's a good game here. It's not completely everything we were promised, but leaving aside overly hyped expectations and recognising that CDPR has actually been scaling down their RPG systems in their games, CP2077 delivers enough entertainment through tight game-play, decent RPG character customisation, fantastic visuals, and strong writing. If there's anything negative I'll say about the game, it's that it frequently reminds you of its ambition by buckling under its weight. You'll be hard-pressed to avoid any technical glitch or bug during a play session (t-posing enemies, lagging graphic rendering, weird AI, etc). The most jarring things I've encountered is the fact the game literally despawns civilian NPCs if you fire your gun in public, or just how the engine manages the existence of the city's NPCs more broadly. It's quite clear that CDPR bit off far more than they could chew, but even if they failed to deliver what was promised, they delivered a remarkably compentent RPG/Shooter with good writing and a well-realised world. I look forward to seeing what CDPR rolls out for the game going forward and what the modding community comes up with.
