Never was a part of the hype train for this game so when it came out it was just amusing to hear how bad of a launch it was (like most big games these days). I went in buying this game with very low expectations and my expectations were surpassed. The story and characters are the highlight of the game for sure as the rest is pretty buggy. Honestly reminds me of Fallout 4 and how buggy that game was. Though unlike Fallout 4 (in my experience) no bug was game-breaking in cyberpunk.

The game would be next to perfect if it got polished. Though as it stands now I have to say I would recommend.

Side note here on performance:
Specs: Xeon E3-1240 V3 (pretty much a i7 4770), 16 Gb 1600MHz DDR3, Gigabyte RTX 3060 ti (upgraded from GTX 960 right before buying game)
I have it all on high settings with no ray tracing and no DLSS.

I will say I expected more performance from the game (40fps average in city, 20 fps in little market areas, and 100fps + outside night city. I think most of the framerate drops are from my CPU not being up to date (chip is from 2013). I do expect some performance updates in the future and free content as there are still things that were promised that were not delivered.

After beating the game twice (as Street kid and as Nomad) I rate it 7/10 as of Jan 7th, 2021 Version 1.06

GOTY 2020!

Second game I ever purchased on steam and honestly one of my favorites. I remember when every car had the same engine sound and it's crazy to see how far it's come. Probably the best early access game on steam.

It is demanding in the CPU department but you can run this game on pretty much anything if you're willing to sacrifice graphics and don't load many cars.

Also the game has force feedback and really full support for a racing wheel (G920 in my case) but I usually stick to using a controller. It does support a PS5 controller although that's more on steam's side.
