Cyberpunk 2077 is the first new IP by CDPR, it was originally a tabletop RPG callled Cyberpunk 2020 created by Mike Pondsmith since the 1980s, this game is a open world action RPG which is set in the near future where body augmentations are the norm. It's pretty similar with Fallout and Deus Ex with sprinkles of Blade Runner, AKIRA, Ghost In The Shell, Dredd and bunch of other similar Cyberpunk movies.


Okay, now introduction done.
This is the first ever game by CDPR since the Witcher series which they had never made before but oh boy they actually did an amazing job with the game. This game is more like Witcher but with guns.

You watched Cyberpunk Edgerunners right? If so, everything you seen in the anime are in the game 1:1 except for Metro and The Moon.

A lot has changed since launch especially with many major issues has been patched out, now this game is absolutely good despite still being the same game since launch just with some new stuff like purchasable apartments and new quests! There will be vehicle combat and melee combat overhaul coming in the next patch!

+Story writing and characters are fantastic: It's no secret that CDPR can create amazing stories with well-written characters especially since Witcher, all of the characters here are unique and all have their motives and personalities
+Gameplay/Combat: With the right skills and gear, the combat in this game is so freaking good like seriously it's also super flexible if you want to run guns with hack or hack n slash or stealth n shotguns all of it are viable, hacking builds are super OP, if you spec well you can literally one shot enemies. There are already plenty of videos around showing how much potential the combat has you can even BUNNYHOP in this game(Don't patch pls CDPR, EDIT THEY DID HUHUH). Here is example of some BADASS gameplay with good gear and skills both loud and stealth.
+Gunplay: My god, i didn't expect this game to have great gunplay but here we are i personally LOVE the guns in this game, the sounds, the impact of the weapons feel punchy, ther recoil feels fun to control, the reload animations are also fantastic look at Johnny's pistol so SEXY video here.
+Graphics: This game is by far the best looking game ever made, especially if you have RTX card in your PC it will melt your PC but even on low settings which is my system (I5-7300 HQ, GTX1050ti, 16GBRAM, SSD) the game looks absolutely fantastic. Notice how a lot of tech youtubers uses this game for their benchmarks?
+Animations: I dunno why not many reviews pointed this out but the animations in this game are amazing, stare at a character and look at their body language and lip sync they are so detailed and realistic. The lip sync technology JALI is pretty great tech too that should be used in other games.
+Art direction and City Design: Mother of god, everything about this game's city architecture, neon lights, ads, the way the city is layout is so damn perfect and should be commended. This is the only game i know that lets you go UP (rooftops etc) and DOWN(basements, freeways, road system) without loading screens. The fact that some places has freeways or restaurants or anything below or above you are so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ eye dropping. Verticality is epic in this game. The vehicles also look great
+Level Design: The game allows you to either stealth or go loud, both are viable due to the level design. You can go up to weird places such as windows, roofs and etc to inflitrate a building. Not all playstyles are viable for all locations, it make sense because some places either closed or open you have to be smart and take advantage of the environment (Deus Ex gang).
+Music: My god, the music in this game is fantastic literally all of it are good and during tense moments it is used very well it's perfect i have no rights to complaint about it.
+Sound design: Just superb, it makes me feel like i'm in an actual city
+Side quests and "Gigs" are fantastic: Like Witcher 3, the sidequests are really freaking good and your choices will decide the outcome of some characters. Some are REALLY FUNNY while some are super f**k up, a lot of variety here. The gigs are different they're like fetch quests EXCEPT check the laptops + shards even in the side gigs. A lot more dialogues options and outcomes will open up. If a job feels like a regular fetch quest, you are missing out. I feel bad when people say the gigs are bad even though it literally has good lore.
+Lore: If you watch lore videos like Madqueen Show or Neon Arcade that it based on the original tabletop game, the game feels more epic and some of the moments that are told in text are present a lot in this game :) (Mike Pondsmith is a genius)

Well, so far the game as it stands it's passed as a good game now let's talk about Neutral and Cons

+/-Driving is good: It can be good or bad depending on the player, personally i think the cars and motorcycles are alright. Some handles better than another though, i personally like the driving it has weight in it so you cannot expect to throttle and instantly go around the corner, break and handbrake around corners so you can safely turn. They did change most of the vehicles, it was worse during launch
+/-Some decisions doesn't matter? I dunno man, i asked some of my friends me and my friend had very different things that happened, e.g without spoiling i didn't get to go to this location or save someone while my friend is complete opposite. Sometimes, dialogue options only appear when you go read the computers or shards so.... please explore more cause it actually does change outcomes if you pay attention closely
hoenstly quests should be the focus not NPCs
+/-AI: When they work, they hit like a truck especially on Very Hard difficulty
+/-Menu UI can be better: Especially for Messages

-Bugs: Personally i didn't ran into bugs that made the game unplayable at launch most of it are funny bugs or i can just reload my saves and it will work.
-Police A.I: I think it's bugged, there is no reason for them to spawn behind me it is so immersion breaking and annoying when this happens, i think there are videos showing the police AI are in the files it's just bugged currently.
-Barber shop or body shop: In a world where you can literally change your body why can't we change our hairstyle at the very least :( (FIXED AFTER PATCH 1.5)


This game is absolute preem if you're running it on a good PC and mods too. Personally QOL mods are enough to make this game play even better, since the core gameplay is already fun. I highly recommend installing the game on SSD because it will load the textures, crowds and traffic better.
Cyberpunk 2077 is a solid 9/10, i cannot wait for the expansion to come.

(also CDPR pls add Lucy ingame, thanks)
