Cyberpunk 2077

In short, Cyberpunk 2077 went from a 4/5 game to a 2/5 game The game has received some changes with the 2.0 update and DLC, which unfortunately greatly disrupt the fun of the game, which is a shame because I really enjoy playing cyberpunk. On the one hand, there are no more grenades and Maxdocs to buy, which means you only have 2 of both and have to wait for a new time, estimated at around 40 seconds, which can make the game very difficult in some situations and thus turns the fun you should have with the game into work please patch it back to the old system so it's a lot less fun now. A change that I don't like either, but it's not that bad, is the change to the NCPD's siren, which now sounds like a container ship signal that's about to break.

Let’s be real: this game isn’t about freedom of choice. You can sneak, hack, or go in guns blazing — but the world barely reacts. Whether you're playing a total pacifist or a one-person army, it changes almost nothing. 🤷‍♀️ There are no real faction dynamics, no way to truly align with or change the world around you. You don’t get to join a gang, build long-term trust, or shift power — which is disappointing, especially considering how older games like Dragon Age or Mass Effect already pulled that off years ago. 🐉🚀 The emotional moments hit hard only if you're already invested. The romance routes feel uneven — some characters have rich stories, others feel rushed or neglected. A lot of NPCs act like they care, but in the end, V is mostly alone. And yes, I had bugs and two full crashes, even now. 🪲💥 Despite all this? The world-building, visuals, and soundtrack are top-tier. Night City is still one of the most atmospheric settings I’ve experienced in a while — neon, grime, beauty, and decay all in one place. 🌃💀✨ 📌 TL;DR: If you love open-world immersion and dystopian melancholy, there’s a lot to admire. But if you're craving consequence-driven storytelling and truly dynamic choices, keep your expectations in check. Buy it on sale, enjoy the ride, and know what you’re getting into. 🛠️

Honestly, I am a little bit disappointed, I expected soo much more. The game is not able to catch me, I am bored with a quest log full of things to do, but I feel no motivation on these missions. Everything feels extremely out of place, not personal, generic. I've read that all the magazines praise the story and the quest design like in TW3, but imho Cyberpunk does not reacch this level, its not even close to TW3 in terms of story and quest design, in my opinion. After 6 hours nothing motivates me to continue playing, I really had very high hopes the game would catch me like TW3 did and throw me into a unforgetable story full of remarkable characters. Mh, think I pause this game for a while and try a secound time in some weeks or months.

First scene of the game, in the garage, foliage from the outside floating in the garage. and that concludes my review for this early access game. Pros: + quite promissing for an early access game, i keep looking into the first scene after each update to Cons: - needs a lot of polishing (pun intented) - basic charachter making, or the interface did not hint on anything else than the available pre-built choices (face parts etc) - the game boldly sets everything to highest (2K resultion with ultra) and it was 15 FPS with my 3700X amd + 1070 8GB OC built, in the freaking garage! - objects are appearing disappearing, even my cloths suddenly appeared after 10 seconds - game has serious content streaming issue, on 32GB RAM and SSD it takes long time to load assets. eaither longer load time to pre-load assets, or optimize until last drop of last developers blood... I think CD Projeckt management dropped the ball on this project badly. again, at best this is an early access game

First lets start what I liked: 1. The game world looks amazing. (Graphics) 2. The game world is interesting lore wise (For example soviets are still around, learned that in a side quest good stuff. Advertisings seen on TV where they talk about using poison to combat homeless issues in the sewers etc just fit this grim world.) 3. Not a lot of bugs. People complain about bugs, but... Compare this to other games on day < 10 and its not that big of a deal. Yes there are still a few issues, i have had a couple but none of them were truely game breaking for me. most did not even require reloading a safe game. Now lets go to what I did not like about this game: 1. The main story is bad in my opinion. I hate Johnny Silverhand and his character. I have googled what the fastest way to get rid of him is but It turned out that this is the main plot and it all revolved around him. Because of this it is unlikely that I will finish this game. From what I have read on the internet its unlikely that any of the endings to this will be satisfying enough for me. 2. The story thus far also appears to be completely linear. 3. The Dialogue while well acted and well made it does not allow for many or in some cases "any" choices. 4. The side quests are mostly simple "fetch/kill" quests with maybe 1 or 2 lines of dialogue at the start/end via the phone. 5. Gun Gameplay is just bad. After a couple of hours I ditched guns and I am now only using meele weapons and maybe shotguns. 6. Hacking is a gimmick just like in watchdogs for example. 7. The UI is almost as bad to navigate and operate than the excel tools I have to use at work. I had to google how to do simple things with this UI... 8. Clothing/Gear looks bad. You almost always look like some drug addict from a street corner unless your willing to ignore stats and go for looks. 9. Skill progression is unintuitive at times. To sum it up: The game has its moments but several core flaws prevent it from being a good game.
