First, let's get the obvious thing out of the way: Cyberpunk 2077 was not ready for prime time. However, what we've got is still very fun and enjoyable! Core mechanics are extensive, work well and are fun to play with, as well as offer some nice customizability options - even if some things were cut due to time constraints. Story is solid, well structured and engaging - even if some characters bug out occasionally. There is a lot of other in-game content, both lore-wise and gameplay-wise and so far, I haven't managed to finish even half of it. But even if something breaks, I'm eager to reload my savefile and try again. The world is grand in scale and rich in lore and activities. Locations are varied and provide a lot of gameplay opportunities. The climate/vibe/feel of the game is amazingly crafted. There are a lot of different vehicles for different kinds of terrain and with different purposes. Level design is good and allows for various approaches to missions. Overall, even if sometimes things don't work as intended, the game is still really fun, engaging and just simply a remarkable experience. There is always something to do, something to upgrade, something to buy or "work" for. A story to read, a car to test-drive, a location to find and discover the story within. There are some weaker points too, of course, e.g. the on-rails chase sections which, while pretty fun still, are, interestingly enough, rather slow. This does not, however, change my view of the game as a great open-world "do-it-all" story-focused RPG which, in my view at least, it was meant to be. And on that promise, the game certainly delivers. As for my score, I give it 4 stars for now. Without a doubt, a lot of blood, sweat, tears (and love!) went into this product, but I have to take away one star for some of the performance issues and bugs - thankfully though, those can be fixed. I'm definitely looking forward for more games like this one - even if they take a long time to develop :)
