I waited so many years for this, I even got a new PC with 3070 card. And now all I see is huge amount of bugs, with game physics, game scripting, broken AI for every NPC to the point where they cannot drive and all of them get stuck and pretty poor graphics quality in terms of character details and textures. Not to mention pretty disappointing beginning for different character types - Bioware did it much better with Dragon Age: Origins. The UI is unintuitive, the stealth system is pretty poor, the looting and inventory management systems are also pretty poor, This game should have been delayed for at least a year instead of rushing it in such poor state. And so far not a word from developers, no acknowlegement of all those issues, especially on gaming consoles of last generation which are even more affected by all those bugs and no mentions of when the next patch is planned to be released. Witcher 3 was a much better game and Cyberpunk feels like it was developed by completely different team of people.
I finished the game today after playing it for a few days. Overall it is an ok game, borderline on "bad". The story was good, the choice of music was good, the gameplay was ok. There are many issues with it, however, which should not be in such expensive game. - The quests can become broken, I had this happen after spending few hours on a quest and did not want to restore the save because of the time I spent doing it. - The companion pets can become permanently lost. I did not have this happen but I have read where other people complained about it. Also, some people managed to get several pets at the same time but I could only manage to get one active pet. - The loading times are extremely slow for every new level, this can become extremely annoying very fast when you will have to often switch different areas. The loading times do not depend on your hardware performance, I have the game installed on Samsung 970 EVO drive with 16GB of RAM and Intel i7-10875H CPU and the loading of new area still take about a minute or slightly less. This is inexcusable for a modern game, especially seeing that newer generation of gaming consoles will have very fast SSDs. - The game controls can randomly move your view all the way to the left edge of the area you are currently at, this is also pretty annoying. - The co-op multiplayer currently does not work. - The choices you are given at the end of the game are pretty disappointed, I don't want to put spoilers here but some behavior by some of your allies does not make sense and you do not have an option to change their behavior in any way. - The amount of content is pretty small for such expensive game, I finished it with about 24 hours of gameplay and this would be faster if the loading times were not so slow. Overall this is an ok game but I highly suggest anyone to wait for few major patches and the price decrease because the current price is way too high for such short game filled with so many bugs.
