Cyberpunk 2077

Even if all the bugs were fixed.......

..this would still be a poor game. I got it running at fairly stable 45fps with a few tweeks in the settings and with RTX on. I have a RTX 2060 super, SSD and last gen i5 processor. I would class my PC as mid range, it ain't no beast. I won't go on about bugs and glitches, those are well reported. But they are real and are immersion breaking at best, game breaking at worst. The real issue for me is that the core gameplay mechanics and RPG system don't live up anywhere near the levels of what you should expect of a good or great game. When it comes to encounters you have many ways of muddling your ways through these, guns blazing, stealthy assassin, hacking, pacifist and so on. But this is really only how you start the encounter, it'll always end up guns blazing and grenades. I wanted to play as a corpo assassin, but in 12 hours of play I didn't manage to go through a single encounter how I would of liked. Stealth kill 2 enemies, then have another 8 bearing down on me as I hide behind a box pinging them off, or run out and shotgun them in the face was the usual outcome. Character/gear progression. Perks seem to do nothing. I never added a perk or skill point after leveling up and felt more powerful because of it. If there are 200 perks, maybe 10 are useful. And gear..jesus wept..this game has a looter shooter gear progression system! How on earth in 8 years no one said "this isn't fun, lets take a look at how ME2, ME3 and fallout did it" is baffling. If you like switching out weapons every encounter, looking like a clown with whatever attire has the best armour rating and going to vendors between each fight to sell your loot, you may like this. Choices matter? There are no choices. I highly doubt a 2nd playthrough would yield a different experience. You may find quests you missed or do them in a different order, but the results and your character will be the same. Avoid this, check back in 6 months and see what people are saying then.
