I usually write well-detailed reviews for big games or games that simply amaze me, but since Cyberpunk 2077 is an unfinished, early-access game, it doesn't deserve anything more than a half-baked review.

I'll just list several aspects of the game and judge their quality.

Let's start with the pros.

Story - Good.

Music - Great.

Characters - Some of them forgettable, some very well-written.

That's about it, now the cons.

AI - Non-existent.

Driving - Terrible.

Gunplay - Underwhelming and incredibly boring.

Quests - Tedious.

Optimization - Horrid.

All in all, the game is obviously rushed and unpolished. The bugs and glitches and unfinished content is just the cherry on top of a mediocre at best game that barely accomplishes what it wants to be - an open world RPG. These elements are very mild, making the game an inferior version of any GTA or Saints Row. Even games that don't try to be an open world, for example Dishonored, reward the player for exploring much more than this mess of a game.

I would not recommend buying this game at all, unless the price point falls down all the way to ~10$, as it's just not that good as people claim it to be.

UPDATE:

Upon having had an influx of fans tell me that this game is "great now", I decided to give it a shot once again. Played a little bit, and discovered the following: This is perhaps, the most overrated game ever made. It's annoying fans constantly praise it, to the point of calling it "GOTY", but anyone would even a remotely decent taste in games (old and new) will know that it's literally the most "mid" game ever made. The sheer amount of wrong with this game is everything wrong with the industry itself. What a joke.
