Forget about the hype and the unaccomplished promises. Forget about CDPR reputation too. The game assets are incredibly good, from the visuals to the audio. It looks handmade most of the times, really amazing. But when you look closely, you can see that it is still a videogame, with lots of bugs and glitches that ruins the inmersion frequently. Now, the game itself is really mediocre. Feels unfinished since the first time you step on Night City (not to mention the cinematic to became friends with Jackie, I was like "really, more trailers inside the game?"). Noticing npcs "popping" all the time in front of you and been so lifeless, dumb and basic, is dissapointing, but thats not really the worst of the game. Not even the enemies and trafic AI. The thing that makes this game average (at its best) is the lack of content. It feels like there could have been a lot of stuff that is simply not there, and IMO it is just poor management. Like the game itself gives hints that some things were designed but not implemented. The best example is car chasing. Boom, ther is not in the game outside missions. There is a lot of more things, even without comparing with trailers ('cus those said content could change), that just gives you clear hints that were designed but not implemnted, from the FPS, melee combat, looting, player customization, even to the hole implementation of the RPG mechanics and progression. Finally, because we are talking about a product on a market, there is plenty of games that deals better with any of the genres that this game claims to be. There are way better action RPG, way better Open World experiencies and way better FPS. I found myself quiting this game and playing Watch Dogs Legion (yes, an Ubisoft game), Horizon Zero Down and GTA online. It is kind of sad bc Cyberpunk 2077 feels like wasted potential, and there is no warranty that it would ever be otherwise...
