Honestly, every minute I've spent in this game from the beginning has been great, the variety, the weapons, the time spent with friends even though I'm so busy. Spending time with other dads who don't have time for PvP and enjoying a good team challenge. Honestly the drop in feature is amazing.

I have no discredit against the developers, they are brilliant and have done nothing short of achieving a masterpiece. They deserve bonuses and recognition and nothing short of a good long break.

But with this Sony debacle we know how this game is played
The developers not the publisher will be punished for Sonys absolutely travesty of management. Why? Becuase they control the developer, so they can punish them for their mistakes. Arrowhead developers will wilose bonuses, future projects will be marred, careers will be tarnished. Why? Becuase publishers are greedy.

It was so much fun, reading the missions, seeing the hype on all the major orders, the suspension of disbelief was beautiful. But after all this, I see the major orders, I just sit and cringe now. It's not fun anymore, there's no game that's free of that grip of rutherless extraction. A game that makes fun of rampant authoritarianism, watching it be run by people who are at best callous and mindless, at worst greedy and willing to steal money from those who cannot fight back. Only becuase Valve has a backbone was this resolved. None of your protests mean anything without companies like Valve and that makes me sad.

There's no irony anymore, it's not fun anymore. Sure I'll play here and there, but it's only because I want to spend time with friends, not because I care about whatever this was meant to be. These things can be beautiful, but when you wake up and see whoreall controls what you do, you realise those servers are going to turn off one day, and Helldivers will be no more. It won't be alive because they care, it will die because you aren't paying enough.

A great game to chill out and enjoy. It can have its challenges, and its no AAA monster, but it has its niche and does it well.

I played a lot on the non-steam version, I installed for a blast from the past and low and behold it doesn't let me us my account. I find that pretty hilarious

I will change this one day if the game pulls off a No Man's Sky, however for now I want to put my opinions up. I resisted the urge to post a first week review, save me doing something I regret, but the time has passed and I think it's only fair I do so.

I like to dedicate myself to a game when I play it. Throw in the focus and the time to get the most out of it. And I understand all games have limits to what they can achieve. A simple indie game may just be a 4 button platformer, so that is what I expect. An rts can be simple or complicated. An fps can be violent or funny. There is no limit to wide variety of options we have with genres and types.

Cyberpunk however, it promised the world. It oromed a new world that it owned. With Ai, insane flexibility and a story unique to all. If I knew what cyberpunk would end up being, long before hand I would have been fine with that. Honestly, if it was actually finished, and stable, where bugs didn't ruin the game, or graphics going from 20fps to 100fps on a 2080 Super on medium.

I have never seen such a shambles of a release, but I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt. I didn't want to punish those poor developers, who said they needed another year, at the beckoning of management who would promise unlimited water in a desert of they were to be given kudos.

This game is not done, it is an undercooked meal in would send back. And honestly, even if it was cooked, you have been promised a fillet steak, but what I have here is a day old bigmac. Now I love Big macs, give me them all day. But I didn't come to Cheatau de Bomarche for a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ big mac. I came for some fine dining.

This game has some gems, the combat is tight (excusing the garbage ai and spawning police). The game is pretty, but the faces and npcs are so buggy and unnatural it's hard to appreciate it. Crowds in Hitman Blood money from over 15 years ago felt more natural, have a look, watch agent 47 walk through them and compare it to this where I lightly bump someone and end up executed for it.

I haven't gotten far enough to appreciate the story so maybe I can be criticised for that, but they way I see it, if the best book in the world is given to me, but the only copy is covered in ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, why would I even pick it up.

Take note people, set expectations, both for yourself and the game. But most of all for the creators of this game, I doubt this will be the last time anyone does this, but you have tainted your name forever. 7/8 years of work in this game and its all ruined, solely because you had to rush, had to meet the hype. I can't see how anyone would have been happy with this.

First time preordering in 10 years, and it's god to have a £50 reminder why I stopped doing it. So from that perspective thank you CD Projekt Red. Best value for a lesson I've ever spent.

Massive issues with crashing even though my pc specs are fine. Low and behold i read through all the notes online about crashes and they seem to be the same ones from 2/3 years ago. Any suggestions that i should lower graphics and turn off features even with a 1080 leaves not much to be desired. I really liked the predecessors to this game, but i don't think something that crashes 20 times in 2 hours can be considered a successful release. Don't pre-order or buy PC games until they are fixed.

Cant full screen the game without it crashing. Cant change the grpahics settings without it crashing. Cant minimise the game without it crashing. A game that is 3 years old and cant solve things that 20 year old pc games can do is a sad fact.

What a game. Its a pity the character transfer was shut down, but i managed to copy my character traits from the cloud into my new one, added a few years for good measure for the president. What a laugh, just goes to show that a fun and itneresting story can easily be added to an open world game. I suggest playing 3 at least before this one to truly get invested, they are so wildy different its not a repeat at all. Easily a great few weeks of fun.

Early Access Review
I've murdered more innocent Kerbals thank grains of sand on the beach, for reasons as simple as how far will that rocket go with the smallest fuel tank. I could have used a robot but I didn't, I wanted them to die, I wanted their families to know they died, and I made them walk on that ship.

Sure some were heroes, but most, most are now ashes that kick off the ground when the next launch proceeds, and maybe, just maybe they will make it back...
