A Cyberpunk 2077 review of sorts by a long time Witcher 3 fan. This review / Comparison came out a little more negative than I had anticipated, but I still, those were my honest thoughts. I may do another review once i’ve played more and some patches have gone through.

I have 408 hours in cyberpunk, I encountered my first game breaking bug on my 3rd playthrough. Yes, i have encountered minor bugs and glitches!. I do agree if you compare Cyberpunk to Witcher 3, Cyberpunk doesnt even come close. With the marketing and hype, even when i knew that marketing means nothing, i expected MUCH MORE of the game. The comparison to The witcher saga should be non existant, but a road to improvement.
First like, comment and then watch
River gets little to no content. He only has 3 side quests to his name (while kerry i think has 5). Not to mention you can't even call him later on the phone. Also the only texts you get are from Joss complaining that you're always away from him and that "you should spend more time with the family." And river texts you passively aggressively like 'okay i get you're busy…" Even though it gave us no option to answer any of his texts.
Bravo on this video, you pointed the exact problems that a lot of other "hate on cyberpunk" videos ignore. These are valid complaints, and it just makes you frustrated because you know they could have done better.
I should mention that I played 200+ hours on this game as well, so I don't hate it, I'm just disappointed at some parts.
Hi @Xletalis. I am still playing W#. And … waiting for Cyberpunk to be patched enough, and received anough DLC's … in other words, waiting for the "Game of the Year" version… but, with your words… I am thinking the DLC's will not arrive…or be far less great than those in W3. I am not sure if I will ever get CP 2077… Sincerely, I was hoping for … at least… a "cyber" W3 (you understand me). But, since it seems quite far… maybe I will not take "that path". thanks a lot for your opinion and your videos. Take care.
Love the game but it is lacking depth in all areas. I've just gone to look for Evelyn at clouds(?) And I'm level 50 having done every side mission but the cars.
Something bad happened during the development of this game that we will never know! Everything that they promised they didnt do! makes no sense! i dont know what happened to CDPR with Cyberpunk!
I played a female V in my first playthrough and romanced River (but didnt seal the deal) and Judy (did the naughty but didnt seal the deal). That being said, I had the best of friendships with Panam.
In the end credits, Panam didnt even call me. Mitch did. It's probably the game's way of telling me that I didnt romance anyone to be close to, but it broke my heart a little to find out that I didnt even merit a goodbye.
Hacking in cyberpunk is like being Gaunter O' Dimm in Witcher 3. You see one enemy, or better yet one vending machine connected to the same network with enemies. One Legendary Ping, Breach protocol and a few contagions later every enemy is dead without ever seeing or hearing you.
Here is this slighly challenging cyberpsycho you're supposed to fight. Just upload System Reset and fights done.
It's fun and not fun at the same time.
Interesting perspective, I have to admit.
While I agree that the game launched in a poor state (although I had only graphical bugs, nothing game breaking and overall a very smooth experience with only 2 crashes through my 100hr playthrough), that there was cut content and I can go on and on, with all those taken into account, I think it was a great game (personally).
All I'll say, without writing an essay, is that Judy's character, personality, little details, her whole quest chain (with the ending included) and the amazing OST in this game made me from liking the game to loving it and them alone massively overshadowed any technical issues, bugs, inconsistencies…etc
Yes the game could, should and deserved to be so much more (and it can still be with the future expansions), but even the one we got I thought was great.
I know it's very subjective, but the things that this game made me feel and think about, no other game nor movie ever did in my whole life and I guess that's the reason why I loved it.
Even 2 months after the game released, I keep coming back and listen to the OST, reliving those memories, cry a bit…
So..yeah, thanks for coming to my pep talk, I guess
Liked the video, it was a good watch and I'm looking forward for more.
PS: Oops, I ended up writing a small essay….oh well, thanks for reading 🙂
I like that this review focused on the story elements over the obvious gameplay issues. I actually really liked the endings, as it left me with a sense of… emptiness, loss of dreams, sadness you could say – that I thought was really powerful, which not many games achieve. The game was trying to push boundaries in too many areas, fell a bit short but I am glad they tried it. We shouldn't be too critical of game devs failing from being too ambitious. Sometime you just need to take the gamble, release something and move on. CDPR will learn from this and be better. We need more of this in the industry. The open world in Cyberpunk felt really dense and multi-layered. I cannot think of another game which quite achieves this; no GTA5 does not come close if you really stop to compare
Reject Cyberpunk'd
Return to Witcher
The game is an awesome piece of work, when it works abd it's a dhame as the universe is so awesome.
Got 450++ hrs in steam, i can agree with u that the most choices are pointless, but i'm looking forward to the next DLC
Dragon age origins life path have greater impact. You literally almost cant use your life path outside your home instead of cyberpunk. And you have ať least one quest fór life path outside first zone. In Dragon age no
These edits are killing me 💀💀 23:36
Have you found any cool legendary gear?
I really can't stand looking at the same 3-4 advertisements all around the city
And by Witcher fan's we mean people who love…you know….quality 🙂
I doubt the next Witcher game will be anywhere near as good as Witcher 3 either. I don't think the old CDPR exists anymore.
I think it's a bit sad that the conversations feel like a regression from Witcher 3. While in that game they had different voice lines and outcomes for every possible way you could do a quest, in Cyberpunk sometimes not even the content between the blue and yellow lines matches (like you ask something specific in a blue option and then in the yellow one they just explain it again to get context / V just forgets things he was told seconds ago).
After the honeymoon period passed for me I definitely agree with you here on a lot of points. Although personally I had no big bugs except my fps tanking at points I fully agree on the choices and story points but at the end of the game this game is a labor of love and left a huge impression on me that I'll forever forever much like the Witcher 3. All the characters in this game feel like real people with real motives and desires and the story even with its fault kept me more than engaged. It's not the Witcher 3, it's not industry changing, but I think it was worth the money.
LMAO, Triss showing up for the Last Wish would be fanfiction bait.
One thing. I dont think its to say like if game has no consequences it cant be rpg and thats ridiculous. Rpg genre IS nôt only about that its one part of whole genre. Many rpg games doesnt actually give you consequences and their still rpg. If we will think about rpg in this we will get to the point that Detroit and Cold War are rpg because they have consequences. Cyberpunk in my opinion have more complex rpg systém than witcher 3 and choices that matters. Maybe not for the main story(however Secret ending depend on how you treat Johny) byť still depend at least somehow. And xletalis please stop comparing cyberpunk decisions like that iné doll to baron quest. Dont you forget that witcher 3 Also Has many choices that doesnt mean anything so its unfair. But hey definition of rpg genre doesnt really exist and its only my humble opinion
I know it sounds ridiculous/like I'm a game shill – but I've been playing on PC since launch and I have not had anywhere near the issues most people are complaining about on PC. I have had a few crashes, but not a ton – and some of them are been driver/video card settings related, not the game.
This title is also, graphics speaking, "the next Crysis" so the fact that performance is "not great" with full on maximum settings, is fine in my opinion. I have a 3090 Kingpin now & even on that, at my resolution (which is 5120 x 1440, nearly "4K" in terms of pixel count, 7.4M pixels vs ~8M) – I can run the game on maximum settings, with RT on Psycho, and the game is still playable 95% of the time, sometimes in combat the FPS gets low. I typically turn RT off during the day and back on at night in the game, as RT shadows from the sun during the day really impacts performance a lot.
I have experienced some side quest bugs that required a save game load to fix for the most part, but those were few & far between.
And I have to say this again: Cheap cars in the game suck, the Aerondight & Shion "Coyote" are pretty damn awesome in general, but they are expensive. I wish people would stop complaining about driving in the game without actually trying various vehicles – a lot of them are bad, but some of them are quite great.
Overall I enjoyed the game, have 224hrs (2 1/2 playthroughs) done so far, one of which was a "complete" one where I did everything I could find in the game, including the Blue Moon quest which you basically have to wait in game for after you should be "ending" the game.
I do find it very annoying that achievements for the endings are not unlockable from one playthrough. Especially given the game's replayability is not "excellent". The lack of choices impacting the game also negatively impacts replayability.
Duvelsheys!
