I have spent almost 50 hours in this game, I LOVE IT, BUT it is nothing close to what was advertised. Obviously extremely buggy, but even after that there is many aspects to this game that are just not there. With more time I believe the devs can get it close. That being said it is an $80(Canadian) game, it should be everything they claimed it to be and more, not an early access title with potential for greatness. CDPR devs, I love you and I don't blame you, but something obviously went wrong. I would be willing to adjust my review based on what happens in the future.
Cyberpunk crashes at launch constantly. Has a lot of in-game bugs, some of which cause me to restart the mission in order to progress. It's also mentioned that Cyberpunk offers 25-30 hours of main mission gameplay. It really doesn't... I've been playing under 20 hours and I'm 3 missions away from completion. I've also done many side missions... On hard difficulty!
Driving is also really awful and unrealistic. The GPS system is complete trash, I always have to look up at it and I almost always miss turns. There should be some sort of voice prompt to say when to turn or have the minimap way more zoomed out!
Knowing I'm near the end, I have nowhere near half my perks, 3 garbage vehicles, really mediocre cyberware on my body (no blades), and no good guns at all. Money is really hard to come by and everything is expensive.
I am really disappointed in this game.
I'm now 45h in and sadly the longer the I play the worse it gets.
The game runs ok. I'm happy with stable 60fps and nice visuals. The story and the world are super interesting. Gunplay, driving mechanics, game progression feel all really good.
However the amount of bugs everywhere is insane. It started with small immersion breaking/funny bugs. This wouldn't be so bad and comparable to the state of Witcher 3 on launch. But I had multiple bugs where it was necessary to reload the game/reload previous save/restart game/verify file integrity. Now it's not funny anymore.
I'm very excited, everytime I launch the game and then get so dissapointed everytime some game breaking bug occurs.
I hope you guys get this fixed sooner then later.
Trzymajcie się. Nadal w was wierzę.
This is unfinished build (optimization,***, do you speak it? seen TLOF2 on 8yo hardware?) of a promising semi-linear FPS with void open world (literally nothing to do, Borderlands have much more interesting and rewarding quests, activities), very primitive AI (like old-school crappy Polish games, which we all love and remember), and mediocre skill system
Don't get me wrong, I like games with high replayability, where you can create whatever character you want for each new playthrough, but here... it's kinda like Witcher 3 (where you had 80% of useless perks and strange system for their appliance), but perks here are way more useless.
Tried making no-kill run, my character was a sneaky hacker, and by level 5 I raised Tech ability once, and the perks...well, I didn't need them at all. Stealth, as I mentioned "no killing", was crucial, and it ended up quite predictably bad - you can stand almost in front or side of an enemy, he doesn't care. It sums it up: seems like all CDPR management was trying to achieve, is make a somewhat flexible LGBTQ-friendly character editor, invite that guy from The Matrix and MAKE YOU THINK that it will be Deus Ex (but better, ofc) in the most detailed and living openworld.
Unlike *ahem* Deus Ex, where I truly CAN be a sneaky hacker, with every ability count, every encounter strategically played, and it FEELS great. Cyberpunk 2077 feels like a dull ripoff placed in Los Santos.
HOWEVER, if they'll add AI, revamp UI (which makes me feel like I'm rope tied and need to make an effort every time for every single action), add more variety world (99% they're gonna do the Witcher 3 trick, where presumably original game parts were introduced for money, with a great stories, at least), you can give it a shot on sale.
Now, I can recommend this game for those, who just want a "future city" Google Street View experience w/ ray tracing (the only thing is good about this piece, which is funny, since it's not exactly CDPR's hard work - it's your GPU's).
