Cyberpunk 2077 redeemed. After patches and the Phantom Liberty DLC, the game is easily a 9.5/10. Highly recommended now that it has been fixed and expanded.
Cyberpunk 2077 features impressive visual design with iconic neon-lit Night City, but is severely undermined by pervasive bugs and reduced scope. Despite some good missions and combat mechanics, immersion-breaking technical issues, buggy AI, and cut content make it hard to recommend.
Mac port with impressive upscaler but frame drops during combat and traversal.
After two years of updates, runs well with exceptional Night City art. Limited new content.
After years of patching, a major expansion, and dropping last-gen platforms, it has finally become the incredible game originally promised. As a GTA-style experience, though, plenty still feels underbaked — the police AI in particular, which ignores blatant crimes yet shoots with impunity. It is a great RPG, but one that leaves a lot to be desired for anyone craving an open-world crime sim.
Remarkable Switch 2 port delivering incredible open-world RPG on handheld with strong performance.
A surprisingly accomplished Switch 2 port with shockingly few compromises, featuring excellent gyro and mouse-mode controls, nuanced HD rumble, and impressive lighting and audio. Performance mode targets a smooth-feeling 40fps that holds about 90% of the time, dipping in dense areas like Dog Town, while quality mode sits at 30fps. Niggles include reduced shadow resolution, no FOV slider, and the long-standing lack of an in-game torch, but it remains a joy to play.
Massive letdown with broken mechanics, countless bugs, and bad design decisions. 8 million pre-orders wasted on a game released in an unfinished state with poor AI, physics, and railroaded story choices.
Cyberpunk 2077 is a strong recommendation with compelling gameplay and design.
Two years and many patches on, this is a gameplay-first RPG that excels through excellent level design, deep customization, flexible approaches to combat, and a beautifully built Night City worth exploring. It is held back by an illusion of choice, a checklist-style open world, and bugs that persist despite major improvements, with a cop system that works but isn't fun. Overall a great game deserving of a second chance.
Lives up to the hype with deep story writing, world crafting, character building and combat. Melee fleshed out. Impressions after first session — very impressed at $60.
Next-gen update worthwhile with substantial improvements despite remaining jank.
An ambitious but bug-riddled open-world RPG set in the atmospheric sprawl of Night City. Ceaseless glitches break immersion, the skill and perk systems are overwhelming yet ultimately let you become overpowered at everything, and many menus, icons and crafting systems add little value. The writing and world-building are strong and the quiet atmospheric moments shine, but it's bloated with content that could use heavy editing, with too many missions forcing combat or fizzling out.
Remarkable world and characters undermined by pervasive bugs; you have to fight to see the greatness.
Strong narrative overshadowed by technical instability and limited meaningful choices; CDPR prioritized profit.
GameSpot (Phantom Liberty): spectacular inventive tale; cruel sobering bittersweet; sticks with you.

“Billed as an immersive sim, this neon dystopia is undercut by relentless, ceaseless bugs on the Steam version, from missing audio and broken animations to game-breaking glitches that force reloads. The dizzying towers of Night City and the crowds of uniquely dressed, no-two-alike NPCs are genuinely striking and would feel immersive if the technical mess didn't keep shattering the illusion. A disappointing launch experience that buries real visual ambition under instability.”
Watch“Seamless mission transitions but limited combat depth and locked systems.”

“A game that exceeded low expectations with an overwhelmingly detailed and substantive open world. Night City feels like a real place with genuine density and depth that compels exploration and immersion despite narrative urgency issues.”

“CD Projekt Red has fully turned Cyberpunk 2077 around with the 2.0 update and Phantom Liberty DLC. The game now offers polished mechanics, excellent combat systems with meaningful skill trees, stunning visuals with ray tracing, and compelling story content—representing the best state the game has ever been in.”
Watch - TThe Sphere Hunter😐 mixed
“A compelling story-driven game with excellent writing and character development, held back significantly by technical issues, rushed development, and unfinished systems. The creator enjoyed the experience but finds it difficult to recommend due to quality inconsistency.”
Watch - ぐぐう実況ゲーム紹介ch😐 mixed
“A masterfully crafted open-world RPG with exceptional world design, combat depth, and narrative innovation that successfully leverages first-person perspective in storytelling, though severely marred by launch-day technical issues and optimization problems, particularly on PlayStation.”
