Cyberpunk 2077 Reviews
CD Projekt Red has laid the foundation for serious potential but possibly should have waited until 2077 to release the game.
Cyberpunk 2077 is a game of the generation, but its technical and gameplay ambitions can get hampered by either perplexing design decisions or hardware that most gamers have. The open-world futuristic Night City and the people who reside in it are some of gaming's most memorable ones and the story captures the essence of Cyberpunk beautifully.
In time, it will likely get better, which makes it hard to recommend, as patience shouldn’t be a requirement to enjoy a video game, especially from a studio highly praised in providing great games. If you do take the plunge, there’s greatness found deep inside, you just need to dig with your hands longer than usual to get to it.
Cyberpunk 2077 tries too hard to come across as cool, dark, and gritty, and instead feels like a wannabe edgelord. A shallow environment with average gameplay makes this an unoriginal experience that feels like a flashy reskin of any other game. Add in the insane amount of hype leading up to release and the constant game crashes, and players are left with nothing but disappointment. Not cool, man. Not cool.
I'm in a huge conflict with Cyberpunk 2077. Much of this game is just fantastically well written, the characters draw me in and I want to learn more about them and the world around them. A densely populated city, terrific graphics splendor and deep role-playing weave makes this future dystopia something special. If it weren't for the ugly grimace that lurks around every corner, every quest and every dialogue. The first patches provide some improvement, but how much work does CDPR still have to invest to make Cyberpunk 2077 as playable as possible on all platforms? Of course, a lot is planned, but is that enough to make up for the disastrous start and appease bruised customers and shareholders?

Cyberpunk 2077 is a truly massive game. While it is not as big in scale as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, or as great in status as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, it most certainly is one of the most ambitious titles of 2020 and now 2021. There are bugs and the game may not be as polished as many gamers have hoped, but it is nowhere near as scary or as bad as the bandwagon has made it out to be. In practice, the game serves as a fun romp in a dystopian world where cybernetic implants and prosthetics prevail. The player takes on the role of V, a merc who wants to make it big, in a living and breathing city with a life of its own. Supporting characters are by far the game’s strongest feature, with animations and voice overs that truly are next level. It may not be the masterpiece everyone expected, but it comes very close.
Cyberpunk 2077 is an unforgettable experience in a huge and unique world; With the deep stories and memorable characters, it promises the beginning of a successful franchise.

A gripping story in a wonderful cyberpunk setting.

Cyberpunk 2077 is a title that aims at what the best that the video game industry can offer us in terms of creative content on a differentiated and interactive experience. Admittedly, its' troubled launch does not help in the general evaluation of the title. Nevertheless, the foundations are very solid and the final product, after being properly revised, has the possibility of becoming a reference in the current video games panorama. For now we remain expectantly waiting for the next steps of the producer and how this experience can grow.

Cyberpunk 2077 is a massive undertaking, and unfortunately this undertaking doesn’t completely hit its mark. It has potential, but the product currently available needs more work. I enjoyed the experience, but it was a struggle at times.
The truth of the matter is, Cyberpunk 2077 is a very good, but very flawed experience, but one that is still worth having. And with any luck, one that will continue to improve over time.
I am seriously envious of my friends playing this game who aren’t having issues (mostly PC players), because I see glimpses of the greatness Cyberpunk 2077 has in store. Once CD Projekt Red works through these crashing and glitching issues, and maybe moves the console version of the game into at least a beta phase, it could be fantastic. I, for one, am looking forward to replaying the game with all new choices when Cyberpunk 2077 is fit for console launch.
So, Cyberpunk 2077 on Xbox. This is a game I had been looking forward to for what seems like a lifetime, and it was never going to live up to the high expectations that CD Projekt Red, I or the world as a whole has been putting on it. It’s a great RPG, but at the same time it doesn’t do anything grounding breaking in terms of style and gameplay. Yes it has bugs, there is an annoying UI and I can’t ignore the mission stutters, but similarly it’s a game that I constantly think back to when I’m not gaming, looking forward to my next deep session with it.
Cyberpunk 2077 is a game that was never going to live up to the massive hype it generated but what was released is an unfinished game with too many issues that may be beyond saving.
Cyberpunk 2077 is the most rewarding and meanwhile disappointing experience of the decade. Although Night City, character and main story are interesting, there are a lot of problems that prevent you from playing a good role-play game

Underneath its technical problems and even without a next-gen version on the new consoles, Cyberpunk 2077 shines on the new hardware and let us experience all our "cyberpunk" fantasies while it give us a gripping and surprisingly emotional story.

Underneath its issues, and often in-spite of them, Cyberpunk 2077 is a true masterpiece of a game.
I anticipate CDPR's PlayStation 5 version of the game will be an outstanding upgrade to this problematic release, and await with complete impatience and hope that my second trip through Night City will erase my doubt in its potential.
