Damn, I wouldn't have expected that many bugs and glitches. Even during the intro mission there are stuck animations and teleporting characters. People walking downstairs with their feet sinking in the ground, objects stuck unanimated (eating noodles with chopsticks but the sticks stay in the food), UI elements not going away,... Regarding the game mechanics itself I have to agree with most here. It feels like a console game through and through. Witcher 3 was already pretty abysmal in that regard, but I would call Cyberpunk 2077 unplayable without controller. At least not enjoyable and only with a lot of pain and slow interactions. Forget being Splinter Cell or MGS stealthy in this game. Grabbing and then killing enemies is not a fluid action. It always has a delay of a second or so before you are executing the kill. Hiding and interacting with bodies feels much like Hitman. The driving is horrible, the cars are clearly optimised for controllers. Regarding the character development I didn't dive deep enough into the game, but the first glimpses don't look very deep to me. Customising the look of your character is lacking behind other games without a detailed editor and only that many predefined faces, hairstyles and chest sizes. At least you can pick you genitalia... The world itself feels lifeless. NPCs don't react to your actions unless you kill somebody (which does have heavy consequences, which I quite like). Even running around completely naked doesn't result in any kind of NPC response. At least on my machine there is not much going on on the streets. I would have expected more. The graphics are okayish. Definitely nothing next-gen. Maybe if you have an RTX or something higher tier. With my 1660 Super and a first gen Ryzen 1600 I could play at High settings with a decent performance. Focus seems to be on lights, particles and stuff like that. No fancy textures or animations. Definitely not as good looking as Battlefield V. The immersion is barely average.
