When you spend 147 hours only to get the wrong ending

The Good

Well-written main storyline, while other RPGs usually have a problem of having a dull main storyline and awesome side missions, for this game it's the opposite.

Realistic graphics, good face models.

Amazing architecture, easily distinguishable city districts.

The feeling of a corporation ran dystopia is there, as well as other societal ill's such as excessive perversion of women, as there are sex-related shops in every corner, overwhelming violence, and extreme income inequality.

Quite a variety of clothes, you can build a good-looking character, but most likely you won't because clothing has stats, which are way more important than looks. This means you will look like a clown for most of the game.

There are inspect animations the first time you equip a weapon.

Car interiors are well detailed.

Photo mode is well executed.

Forgiving saving system. There are 5 different quicksaves, plenty of autosaves, and manual saves, meaning if you mess up a choice, or want to try a different dialogue option, you can come back.

You can get a 1977 Porsche 930 Turbo as your personal vehicle.

The Bad

You can't change your appearance after starting the game. There are no barbershops, no face surgeons, nothing.

"Cyberpunk 2077 — Official Vehicles Trailer" implied that there would be a way to exchange parts and tune vehicles when there is nothing. You can't even change the color of a car you own. And there are plenty of cars with cool liveries cruising around, some even have neon lights.

Awful Police system. So awful, it should be removed before it's properly fixed. Police officers just teleport to you after the pettiest of crimes. There are no police chases, no bounty system, there is only the death screen caused by 5 police officers killing you right after you accidentally ran over a pedestrian.

The minimap is too small, you can never expect a turn. The easiest solution is to make the minimap observe a bigger area.

Sometimes the waypoint disappears in the minimap after pausing the game or checking the map.

In some cars it's hard to drive in the first person, because the interior dashboard is too big, making it hard to see the road.

You can't get a good apartment. There is no sense of climbing up top. No matter how much money you have you are stripped of the opportunity to purchase an apartment in the city center.

There are some buildings that you can access, but there are not a lot of such buildings. You can't access the tallest building in the game and observe the city.

Part of Pacifica is completely unaccessible.

A lot of bugs. Most infamous are the ones concerning Delamain missions. I tried many different methods, but the missions are just too bugged to be completed. Also, the opportunity of using Delamain as a taxi service was wasted.

Apart from the clothing, all the gangs act the same. There is no way to join them, pretty much making them generic enemy NPC's.

Not a lot of memorable gigs/side missions. Apart from the Brendan vending machine one. All of them either tell you to steal something, rescue someone, or kill someone.

No follow-up to Jefferson Peralez Questline. The ending choice doesn't matter and you don't get to know what really happened.

Choices don't matter. Corpo/Street kid/Nomad backstory only matters for the first 30 minutes of the game.

Metro is absent.

No way to fly around the city. It's a shame, you can't pilot an AV

No drinking animations in the bar

Radio's don't tell the current songs name



Unfortunately in its current state it's just another open-world game, but in a cool setting nonetheless, that why I recommend it with hopes they fix the key problems.

A lovely simplistic game. It took me one minute to like it. As cool as the game is I still have some suggestions on improving it:
-More colors (Black , Brown and other colors seem to be missing)
-A simple NPC slider (from 0 to 100) that spawns people who wander around the town , gaze upon the view , talk to each other and etc. To make the town more lively
-Ability to build destroyed/damaged buildings , so that your town would look like it had a tsunami damage or a poorer district.
Ability to spawn ships. From simple boats to caravels, so they could dock into your port or just wander around your island.
-Increase grid size
-Ability to name your towns
-first person mode where you could explore your town

I suppose my ideas would change the game too much , and some people might dislike them , that's why I suggest optional sliders so that people who prefer a quiet , empty town could still have it.

An interesting game . I suggest :
Fixing the the glitch of sometimes not being able to open the map
Fixing the inability to switch between messages and map on your phone
Adding an:
Ability to change game controls
Ability to buy a Bicycle or a skateboard , so it's not just running around all the time.
Ability to use your own product , and feel their effects.
Ability to sleep through Police hours , or at least bonus xp for dealing in those hours
More interactions in your apartment

Interesting game that has a lot of potential , hope it gets more content

Nostalgia made me ignore all the problems that this game has. I mean at least it's playable from start to finish
