Cyberpunk 2077

Disappointed but not surprised

Don't bother reading 5-star reviews that are showering the game with praise. Some are trying to convince themselves that the long wait and emotional investment was worth it. Even with the recommended specs and updated drivers, the game runs terribly, if one can even say it runs at all. It's got a ridiculous amount of bugs, frames tank every 2 or 3 minutes, and the game crashed more than once within the first 20 minutes. Turns out crunching your workers with 100-hour weeks only makes them perform poorly, who would have guessed? Gameplay itself its very poor. It's a jack of all trades, but none of the play styles are actually as rich and developed as dedicated FPS or stealth games or as CDPR might have thought, they're average at best. Also, key bindings are awful and feel like a console port. I can't speak about the story itself because I haven't finished it, but from what I have played the only thing cyberpunk about the game is the aesthetic. I don't wish to fan any flames so I won't mention the most likely reason CDPR decided to completely cut off the inherently political nature of the genre, but in doing so CP2077 just became "wow cool guns and neon lights". If the only thing keeping you from buying this game is the bugs, then just wait 3 or 4 months until they're all squashed. Otherwise I'm gonna have to say: hard pass.
