I loved the game, the game has gotten so much negative publicity. Yes the game feels somewhat incomplete, it has its wierd glitches at times, but i didnt seem to mind, the driving is janky as hell. The story and its characters are awesome, and it can be upsetting when one of them dies, so many different ways to comeplete missions and outcomes. The combat is fun and it can go different routes stealth, hacking or just straight up guns blazing which ends up being fun most of the time. The endings were a little dissapointing but it is what it is. I would reccomend this game to anyone, but just make sure you have a good pc (i have a Nitro Acer 5, and it ran pretty well at times, got laggy sometimes) PS5 or Xbox x or whatever its called, because they straight up screwed them.
This was one of the best experience I ever had with gaming. I fell in love with this game so much, and I didn't want it to end. I made absolutely everything in the game, even all the endings. And now I'm waiting anxiously for new things like DLCs. It was a hell of a ride (250h to end the first gameplay, and I'm ready for more). It's a beautiful masterpiece, such as the Witcher 3.
I don't want to talk about bugs and glitches...I won't lie. Yeah, they were annoying during the game, but I have to say that I'm used to have problems like this with great games (Skyrim, Bloodlines, yadayadayada). I overlook it, because I had a great experience in general, and I have to say that I trust CDPR will fix at least half of them, and even if they do not fix, we already have a great modding community improving the game.
The game made his purpose for me, to entertain, to be immersive, to mix emotions and mindblow.
Thank you CDPR
Like the title says.
The game is now at version 1.23 and playable and even though weird bugs pop up now and then it's not bad. It was never unplayable on PC, only on old consoles. This said a SSD and a good GPU are definite pro's.
I'm really into cyberpunk as a genre, so Neuromancer, Johnny Mnemonic, Matrix, Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Cyberpunk 2020 Roleplaying, Shadowrun and things comparable. This did add something to the list and this should mean something to lovers of the genre and I'm pretty glad I played it from start to finish (well 95% achievements, and all endings is pretty much all)
I'll be honest even though the release version was playable for the most part I've seen MANY bugs, and first it was just laughable. A lot has been improved since.
Still there are issues. Most issues are not that bad, BUT there ARE issues. clipping, bad spawning equipment (all high qualityy gear was checked , but random finds can be (partly) under the floor, and unreachable. This frustrates me. The combat system is wonky. I have no problem having simulated melee, but it's chaotic and annoying , and the ranged combat is like: if you can see it you can kill it, but with combo's showing any enemy on the grid with quickhacks and weapons that negate all walls, you have effectively broken the game on hard(est) mode. which makes the game trivial in the combat.
Also the AI is particularly dumb. Walking around when enemies are shouting while being on a stealth run doesn't scare me, it just provides easy acces to enemy locations.
I played all life paths, I played all endings, I played based on most cyberware options and you can actually build a character who is incapable to progress easy or at all. All other options tend to be easy and in some builds you'll break the game with such force, no enemy can kill you (unless you're dumb, like falling down a skyscraper).
So GREAT STORY, GREAT ENVIRONMENT, GREAT VISUALS, MEH TRAVEL (don't like teleports, vehicles ok), BAD AI/COMBAT.
I really enjoyed the whole world and all the type of side quests. I sometimes even preferred side quests against main story because they offered so many possibilities (do I want to hack inside? use force? just shoot? talk myself inside?)
Biggest downside for me was that even lots of decisions you have to confirm several times, one main character can die without even noticing and loosing one possible end game achievement (my situation).
I also missed lots of collectible items and that was also really disappointing because I did every single mission, sidemission or gig and I was carefull to search my surroundings to detail. Still didnt get over half of stash walls collectibles :(
The game crashed for me cca 10 times in 175 hours of play so no big deal and I never lost important progress. Also bugs bother me really like twice in a game.
Overall it is a great game, great graphics, great story and mainly great world where the story is happening. So not skip side missions, read mails and shards to see how detailed this world is and that every single situation there has some backstory.
