Overview
Daniel purchased Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam at a 50% discount approximately one year after its release, but refunded it after about two hours of play due to sluggish, unresponsive shooting combat and flawed underlying game design.
Daniel rated Cyberpunk 2077 4.6 out of 10 and declined to recommend it, concluding that despite praise for detailed environments, dense loot, lived-in atmosphere, character customization, and quality voice acting, the game suffered from an uninteresting intro story, mediocre driving, stiff animations, unintelligent AI, and flat visuals on an RTX 3060 gaming laptop.
