Cyberpunk 2077

Story: Engaging, emotional but extremely short. Graphics: gorgeous cityscape, billboards, lightings. sharp textures (when they load) Environment: NC is the most beautiful and captivating futuristic city I've ever seen in video games to date. The sheer veticality of the city makes exploring very enjoyable, especially when you get double jump cyberleg. Well done. Music: There's no ambient music while exploring. Music only plays during scripted, story-related moments. You can listen to the radio while driving around, and the songs on the radio are absolute headbangers. Sound: Meh. Quite a lot of interactions such as walking on certain sufaces, opening car door during cutscenes, breaking windows, jumping into water etc. have no/weird sounds. It's pretty jarring at times. Combat sounds are also pretty lackluster. Voice actors/actresses deserve praises though. Very enjoyable delivery. Gameplay: This is where everything falls apart. Disregard the constant glitches and bugs that frequently take you out of the game. Or all the skills/perks that straight up don't work (Anamnesis, Neurotoxin, Rapid Bloodflow etc.). Or cyberware that don't work (Blood Pump, Kerenzikov's duration doesn't scale beyond common rarity despite stating that it does, Nanorelays). Or all the clothing mods that don't do anyting such as Deadeye & Predator. Or the horrendous/creepy shadow your character casts in sunlight... Ignore all that, and the game still falls flat. CDPR marketed a next-gen open world experience, and what you get is braindead NPCs, no gang system, life paths are 15min intros that have no impact on your gameplay/story. Very few dialogue choices matter. Vendors & bars just open a menu. No animations. Cops spawn behind you out of thin air & can't follow you etc. CDPR churned out trailers to hype up the most basic features that other games have done, except they also failed at doing the basics properly. CP2077 is a gorgeous painting that crumbles at the slightest touch. 6/10

I really enjoyed the characters and storyline, but the game feels really undercooked. Super buggy. Hacking seems really basic, and to me, visually they kind of all look and playout the same. I got so burnt out doing the same hex minigame all the time, that I just stopped doing it after a while, kind of wish it had an auto attempt option (maybe a skill perk or something). The skill tree is boring, and feels low effort. Lots of pointless skills. The city is very pretty to look at, lots of detail. The inventory UI is some of the worst I have ever seen. I junior web dev could make a better interface than this. I really enjoyed the weapons, all the different guns are fun to find and try out. Coming from Doom-like games, having only three weapon slots is really lame, especially with all the different types. There are a bunch of cars to collect, but there doesn't seem to be a point. Most of them you just buy off the road, not achieved through quest, etc. Having to constantly loot and swap armor/weapons is annoying. I wish it wasn't a looter-shooter. I would rather just continually mod a base set of weapons. You have run around smashing the button to pick things up, gets old. I would like it if some thing would auto pickup like ammo, health, etc.

This game should've been the Skyrim of this generation and not the Duke Nukem Forever.... ......Why? Why did you fuck over your company so badly? You do realize how much you fucked yourselves over, right? GOG.com as a site and CDProjekt should not suffer for your failures. You should all thank your dev and Q&A teams for putting up with your bullshit. The game could've been so much more and with the driving physics made me want to play Mario Kart instead. Fix this. Not for yourselves, but for the devs and Q&A teams.

I'm sad for what the game could have been...

Empty city, fake features and a big disappointment thas cyberpunk 2077 in summary.
