Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk had one of the worst releases of all time. It had so much bugs and glitches that it was barely playable. But after a while majority of it was all fixed and that was when I got it. And after playing thought the game it's not that bad it's has a compelling story with some Beautiful graphics the open world feels alive and the combat is not that bad you basically become an unstoppable killing machine by the end of the game. Keanu Reeves was one of the best parts of the game he is with you all though out the story. The game also has it's own choice wheel where you pick what your character says and the choices you pick will affect the story as a hole. The game has about 6 different endings so there is always a reason to replay the game. There is tons of additional content to do after the game with tons of side quests and collectables to find. The game also lets you select your origin story and that will make different characters react to you differently and you can only meet certain characters depending on your origin story. Overall the game is not bad it just had a bad release I would recommend to play it now as the game is not that bad anymore.

Its a crying shame that the release of this game was faced with so many bugs, problems, issues and mess ups that detract from the sheer brilliance of this game. I've been blown away by Cyberpunk 2077. I was fortunate not to experience many of the issues that other users have had, only minor, comical on occasion, mishaps, but despite this I was enthralled by its virtues throughout. I didn't get too bogged damn in the usually monogamy of the filler content standard in games such as this, delving instead into the storyline and was hooked immediately. Got to say, this was written like nothing I've seen on TV, games or many of the movies that get so much hype today - exceeding them all, truly masterful. Acting by the cast is spot on. I'm not exaggerating at all, the story, characters and script of the main story line (and associated side quests) are phenomenal. What a reward to see the less bleak storyline finales play out because the bad, twisted and quite frankly horrifying epilogues chilled me to the bone. I'm gutted that the developers (and co) were pushed for completion so recklessly, resulting in commitments that didn't allow for the end user experience promised. Gutted mainly because the subsequent reception generally ignore or detract from the amazing wonders Cyberpunk has achieved. I was fortunate; my experience was epic. The gameplay, sound, the pace superb, the depth of character development, the investment of the numerous people that cohabitate the rich world of night city really left me moved and satisfied with the experience. The things they did get right are incredible. I spent hours marvelling at the intricacy and sheer ambition of the cityscape, the raunchy ads that give a disturbing possibility of the status quo to come, the dystopian savagery of one very possible future the next generation may experience. I'm blown away by this title. What an experience. I truly hope all the hardship the development team has faced eases and is replaced with the respect and credit they deserve.

Cyberpunk 2077, with its Phantom Liberty DLC and post-launch overhauls, has undergone one of the greatest redemption arcs in gaming history. What was once a cautionary tale about hype and premature release is now a towering sci-fi epic, a game that delivers on nearly everything it once promised - just a few years late.

Set in the sprawling, grimy beauty of Night City, the game now thrives as an open-world RPG rich with narrative depth, mechanical polish, and unforgettable characters. The 2.0 update brings redesigned systems that make everything - from combat to perks to police - feel fluid and meaningful. It no longer plays like a game trying to find itself. It knows what it is now.

And Phantom Liberty It's phenomenal. A spy-thriller wrapped in moral ambiguity and espionage, with Idris Elba bringing raw gravitas as Solomon Reed. The story expands the universe while deepening the emotional stakes, offering new endings and questions that hit hard. V's journey becomes even more poignant, more complex - especially if you choose the slower paths, take in the city, and listen.

Keanu Reeves as Johnny Silverhand remains a highlight - abrasive, principled, and weirdly endearing. The dynamic between V and Johnny is one of the most compelling relationships in modern gaming.

But we can't forget where it started.

The bugs.

The crashes.

The empty promises.

For many, that launch will always linger like a scar.

Still, scars tell stories - and this one became a triumph.

If it had launched this way, we'd be calling it one of the greatest of all time.

Now?

We just might anyway.

For me, this game has completely redeemed itself.

From playing it at launch I was thoroughly disappointed. With all the glitches and bugs I just kept forcing myself to enjoy it, but I've given it another go on Xbox Series S and it is like a brand new game. I feel like this is what the game was supposed to be like when it first got released. The graphics are smooth, no bugs/glitches; you get the odd visual glitch where something won't render in but for me that is very rare. I'm loving this game at the moment and I'm starting a brand new save for the third time now. Give this game the hype it deserves.

Alright we all know what happened in 2020 when this game first launched and i myself laughed and made fun of it as it was a technical disaster and wondered why did people overhype it because i was for some reason not part of this game's hype cycle since the day CDPR announced they were working on it and now looking back at all those trailers years ago i am blown away by how excited people were for this and rightly so but enough of that lets move on ahead. Fast forward time to 2025 it took me years to come back after hearing so many good reviews i decided to finally play it and man am i blown away by how well they resuscitated this game back to life.

Graphics:gorgeous especially with raytracing.

Characters and voice acting: deep and emotionally impressive dialogue with great compelling characters.

Story/plot: Oh boy are you in for a treat; dark, layered, consequential etc.

Music and SFX: simply slaps music is fire you will have a blast Gameplay: is phenomenal and incredibly satisfying you can choose to make different builds for your character (ranging from Net-runing i.e be a hacker and manipulate your surroundings to being a Bladerunner if you like upclose and personal confrontations with knives and swords or even a combination of both etc.) as you have various skill trees to develop and on top of that you have cyberware to pretty much turn yourself into a killing machine Along with Phantom Liberty this game is an easy masterpiece, the dlc alone has it's separate plot but connected to the main story quite nicely and is in my opinion one of the greatest dlcs i have ever played in gaming. CDPR casually throwing out dlcs (goes for Witcher 3 too) that have better story-telling than many base games that i have played in my life it's impressive! So like me if you have had doubts all this time it's time to dispel them and take this for a spin because my dear choomba trust me you will have a great time. Also if you are on PC you must play this with mods, mods are a game changer they take the immersion to a whole different level and this is my first game ever that got me into mods i don't think i can ever go back to vanilla.
