I've spent 80 hours in this game and these are my thoughts. I, like a lot of people, wanted this game to be great. I finished The Witcher 3 and was amazed by it, and shortly preordering Cyberpunk was available, so I did it. The premiere date was closer and closer, and then CDP Red delayed it. "Need more time to polish the game" they said. Well... Fine, I'm good with it if they deliver better product, i thought. Then they delayed it again. With same excuse. I've waited this long, few extra months won't make a difference for me, I thought. And then it finally arrived... This game shouldn't be released in this state. It's a disaster on many fronts. And while I enjoyed the main story, I quickly discovered that it's really railed, and what you do, what background you choose, does not matter. This is my biggest dissapointment. And I feel lied to because this is one advertising of this game was about. It even says it in world compedium included with the game. The world and setting of the game is really good, but this is something CDP Red inherited from buying rights to the Cyberpunk franchise, other then that... CDP Red messed up everything they could. The AI is broken, cars are broken, police appears from nowhere, NPCs dissapear, the performance is really bad on lower specd pc's, even these within recommended system requirements. Tones and tones of bugs, graphical, physical. Mechanics like crafting are broken. I've spend 50h looting and taking apart weapons, just to discover, that now I have to upgrade components one by one. 8000 uncommon components. And crafting one is taking almost a second. This is ridiculous. Straight up bad game design. And situation with consoles. Like really, how can CDP Red say that it's playable on PS4 when the game runs with 15-20 fps and models are not loading. "It's playable, because the game runs". F you. Just say you f'd up and will do your best to fix it. You can only make a first impression once, and CDP Red forgot that. Shame.
