TL; DR: The atmosphere is stunning. Story is good but way too short, like the game in general for a AAA open world RPG. If there’s a sale, the game is worth buying.

In 2019 and 2020, the hype that was built up around the game was almost ridiculous; just remember Keanu Reeves at E3. Turned out, the release was crunched and rushed, and the game was overloaded with bugs. I bought the game last year when the Phantom Liberty DLC came out.

I played from begining as a Nomad (it looks like the only differences from the path you choose are the dialogue options). The customization choices you have on your V are great. It just doesn’t make sense that you can’t change voice and body type after starting the game imo. The Nomad start was amazing, also having that first look at Night City from outside (and therefore the ‘future game’ was a nice choice. Then you do one mission that gets you to Night City.

After arriving in Night City, there is a “times kip” showing a time lapse making your first steps in Night City after which your V has their own apartment. I don’t know if that was a good choice. It hypes up the story to come, but looking at it from now, ~30h in the game almost finished with the main story and all the side missions, it would have been cooler doing all this stuff together with Jackie, building up their relation and get like ~10-20h more play time out of it.

I don’t want to spoil enough; the story is good to a point you actually start caring about characters. They are all written very well. The character portrayed by Keanu Reeves is also very cool. Although he has dialogue in nearly every (side) mission after his first appearance, he never became annoying. Your character V can have romances with one female or male character. Depending on your V’s body type and voice, there is one hetero and one homosexual character as an option. I played a female V. If I didn’t look it up before, I wouldn’t even know there was a female option for a romance as well. The game VERY HEAVILY wants to romatize you with the (male) hetero character. But part of the story from the hetero woman is that at one point she put her legs on your lap but rejects you if you want to become intimate and many other flirt options in the dialogues regardless of your V’s body type and voice. Felt out of place (as a female V). It also would add depth to those romance options, if it would be possible to change the body type and voice of your character during the game (It would fit the setting). Because imagine wanting to romatize a specific character whose sexual orientation doesn’t match your V but offer them to change voice/body type just for them. Also there should be more such characters. With the stuff you have, the romances feel just like Skyrim: You can become a couple with very limited options and benefits. Except in Skyrim, you have more characters for romances. I call this out so much because I remember 'romances' being one of the main selling points besides Night City when the game was announced.

Night city is great. It’s not too big and nothing felt out of place. With <5km, every distance is easy to travel. Like GTA V, cars feel bad to drive. I guess they want to make a more ‘realistic handling’ but at least on keyboard, it really doesn’t feel that way. Bikes are way better for traveling. The visuals and the atmosphere of Night City are both stunning through the whole game. The only time I felt such an intensive atmosphere in a video game of those kind was playing Skyrim the first time in 2011. But except collecting stuff/killing people, there isn’t much else to do in the world without missions. The game stands and falls with its story and choices, which is too short and limited. The concept of people calling you for side missions is nice, but after ~20h into the game, you’ll notice less and less calls and need to actively wait for people calling you to start missions. ~30/40h for all the missions to do in a AAA RPG is not acceptable. That's my main problem. Everything is so atmospheric stunning delivered but it all feels too short and rushed afterwards. It's like a good quickie. It also really catches you off guard because I thought I would be like 1/3 through the story and then there suddenly comes that “last mission” message. In those types of games, I at least expect 100-200h Quests/side missions or missions to do, especially in a Singleplayer only game (still glad it's Singleplayer only though). If I compare that with other RPGs I played like Skyrim, Borderlands or Fallout, the length feels unsatisfying.

My other critique is the ‘monetization of the game’. There is really no need for the most anticipated open world AAA RPG game of all time needing to have FOMO pre-order ingame items, time limited Twitch Drops and even a ‘pay for 2 Twitch sub gifts Item’. It was already full price with Deluxe/Premium Editions.

Conclusion: If the game would have been longer (like triple or quadruple its story time) and there would be more interesting open world stuff to do besides missions, I would say Cyberpunk even lives up to its original hype, being on top of the best games of all time. It feels like there is so much wasted potential (like the romances), which honestly makes me sad. Yes, quantity over quality, but that’s just too short and rushed. I would still say, for its comparable short time, it’s one of the best games on Steam I played in a long time. If it’s 50% or more in sale, definitely worth buying. But for the full price, I probably wouldn’t get my money back in play time (I always think of 1€ for 2h of playtime). Finally, I really want to appreciate Night City. I think everyone who calls themselves a gamer should experience Night City at least once. (Regardless of if you like Cyberpunk, Open Worlds or Keanu Reeves, it's good enough to stand on its own). The atmosphere and Night City are the main selling points of the game.
