DO NOT BUY CyberPunk 2077 - STILL TERRIBLE

Hello, welcome back to a new video game

review. So recently I've been playing

Cyberpunk 2077, and I didn't really get

to play it last year when it first came

out because it was just full of bugs.

Everyone was complaining about how glitchy

it was and what a mess it was, and I

decided not to buy it on release because I

didn't want to pay £50 for a buggy mess.

And it's been a year later and it's

currently 50% off on Steam, so I thought,

why don't I give it a try now? Maybe CD

Projekt Red have been busy fixing stuff

and patching stuff and fixing the bugs and

glitches. And unfortunately, I do wish I

could say that the game has improved a lot

since it released, but it just hasn't.

And after about 2 hours of playing the

game, I had to refund it because I just

was not having any fun. I didn't really

see myself enjoying the game, and I don't

really feel like the glitches and the bugs

are the main problem of the game. The main

problem of the game is it's just not a

very well-made game. It's not a very good

engine that it runs on, it doesn't feel

smooth or fluid. And I think even if there

were no bugs in the game at all, it still

wouldn't really solve the problem. I

played the game for a good couple of hours

and I didn't really find any bugs or

glitches. Now, I don't know if that's

because they've all been fixed by now or

if it's just because I didn't play the

game enough to be able to find any of

these game-breaking glitches that everyone

was going on and on about last year. And

in case you don't really know what this

game is about, basically it's like Deus

Ex, or Deus Ex, is a first-person RPG game

set in a cyberpunk futuristic setting,

and you've got lots of customization. In

fact, the character customization menu was

the most detailed and in-depth

customization— character customization

menu I've ever seen. You can, you can edit

and customize almost every single detail

of your character, even including the area

between your legs, which I really don't

know why I don't know why CD Projekt Red

decided it would be a good idea to give

players the ability and the choice to be

able to choose what kind of hairstyle they

have down there. But the character

customization is quite impressive.

There's lots of different buttons and

toggles and selections you can choose

from. And then you enter the game and

you've kind of got this intro to the

story, which wasn't very interesting. Had

to skip through a lot of it. The story

just kind of revolves around corruption of

big corporations and then a corrupt police

force and then, you know, poverty. If

you've ever played Deus Ex or ever seen

any kind of sci-fi movie that has this

gritty cyberpunk kind of theme, you're

going to know what to expect almost

instantly. So the game also has things

like cybernetics and cyber implants,

and all the people in this world, they'll

have some kind of cybernetic implant like

a prosthetic robot leg or arm or limb.

And as you can expect, you can buy

different implants and things that enhance

your character's abilities. And then you

also get points you can assign to your

character to make him or her either very

strong or very intelligent or very good at

hacking, very good at talking. It's very

stereotypical RPG tropes. Now, my initial

impression of the game was basically it's

kind of like a GTA 5 clone but set in the

future. You can really tell they wanted it

to be like GTA 5. Unfortunately, the game

kind of falls flat in nearly every

comparison you can make to GTA 5. It's

like a poor man's version of GTA 5 that's

just set in the future. Even the graphics

don't look very good, and I'm running this

game on a pretty expensive gaming laptop

with an RTX 3060 with the graphics cranked

up to ultra on nearly every setting, and

the game just really doesn't look very

impressive. Now, I know CD Projekt Red are

not exactly a massive massively huge

gaming company like Rockstar, so maybe you

got to cut them some slack, and it is

their first time making this kind of

open-world game. But how did they make a

game in 2020, and they've been constantly

trying to fix it and make it better since

then, how do they make a game recently

that looks worse than GTA 5, which came

out ages ago now? I mean, it does look

very colorful, I'll give them that, and

some of the textures are okay, and the

design of the city is is quite

interesting. It's pretty cool. It's got

this very futuristic Japanese-inspired

theme to it, but the whole city just kind

of looks a bit lifeless, a bit flat, and I

just wasn't really impressed with the

graphical fidelity of the game. So the

worst thing about the game is easily the

shooting combat gameplay. It's terrible,

and when the majority of the gameplay

revolves around the shooting combat If the

shooting combat is not fun, then it just

makes the whole game not fun because the

rest of the game is just running here,

running there, talking to this character,

talking to that character, do a bit of

driving, do some kind of minigames.

When the combat system of a combat game is

just really not fun, then it just ruins

the game completely. And this has nothing

to do with bugs or glitches or anything.

It's just the way the game feels when

you're shooting enemies doesn't feel good.

It feels very sluggish, very unresponsive.

It just doesn't feel good. I didn't really

feel like I was having fun shooting at the

enemies. I didn't really feel like the

weapons— the weapons are just kind of

boring. They're very bog standard.

There's nothing really special about them.

They don't really have a very satisfying

feel to them when you fire them. Also,

the AI is kind of dumb, not really fun or

engaging to fight against. I just didn't

really have a good time playing the

shooting side of the game, and that kind

of ruined it for me because if the combat

is not fun, then what am I playing the

game for? The driving isn't exactly that

great either. The driving of the cars,

it's okay, but it's not really that

amazing. Also, the character models in the

game are very strange. They, they just

don't look very natural or lifelike. They

have this very stiff kind of look and kind

of animation when they're moving around.

It's like the team behind the animation

and the character model designs, they're

not exactly the best in the industry.

Some things I did like about the game were

the voice acting is very good, very

professional sounding, very Hollywood

movie kind of sounding, and the detail,

level of detail in the game world is

pretty impressive. I was quite impressed

by the attention of detail in every single

room, all of the different items you could

see, and there's so many different objects

you could pick up and loot like food and

drink and different stuff like that.

There's vending machines everywhere, you

could use the vending machines and buy the

food and eat it in your apartment back

home. There's just loads of stuff and you

can really feel like it's a lived-in

environment. It's pretty cool. And if

you're okay with having a walking

simulator in this kind of futuristic world

where you don't really care that much

about the combat or the gunplay and you

can kind of get behind the story and the

characters, then yeah, maybe this game

would be great for you. But for me

personally, who sees himself as a gamer

because I like gameplay, the gameplay

mechanics just didn't really hook me in

and the story and the setting and the

little details just really aren't enough

for me to justify— it's just not really

enough for me to be able to justify

investing a lot of time into this game.

So unfortunately, I cannot recommend

buying this game. I still give it a low

score of 4.6 out of 10. If you're looking

for a kind of futuristic cyberpunk-themed

GTA, then I guess this is as close as

you're gonna get.
