A lot of folks are expecting “the next big thing” and this isn’t it. I have over 20 hrs in now and I’m enjoying it and coming back for more. I didn’t watch endless footage or obsess over this game ahead of time so I can’t speak to those who seem to have their souls tied into this. It seems wrong to complain about what isn’t here rather than what is. The good: - The game is pretty thanks to extreme lighting and particle effects that are very hard for current hardware to handle. - The map is huge - The style is on point - There is a lot to do within quests - The guns and arm weapons are fun - The vehicles are varied - The stories are interesting - There is a fair amount of humor Now on to the real flaws and complaints: - This is not a sandbox. It is a somewhat open FPS akin to borderlands or deus ex (the original one) - ...therefore there is not much to do outside of quests - Unsurprisingly the inventory is not a good idea experience- I say this because cdpr has yet to Mae a good one. - The vehicles handle too realistically. Once you’re doing over 45 mph you’re not going to make a sharp turn in an average vehicle. That’s not fun in a game context. - The performance is bad: the game is designed for hardware that doesn’t exist yet a la Crysis at launch. - Enemy AI is embarrassingly bad. This is perhaps the biggest offense of Cyberpunk 2077. - The writing is juvenile and characters all feel like they’re trying to to be “hard” - The voice acting for V is uncomfortably lame at times. - Randomly the ui vanishes and you can’t continue. - Floating objects and vehicles - Duplicate key binds are idiotic- crouch and skip dialog on the same key? All in all, the community is extremely hard on this game yet everyone is playing it and enjoying it regardless of the complaints. Play it, enjoy it, and stop asking the world of the devs.
