With 131 hours played (as of now), I think I'm fairly experienced to share my review.
Things I loved:
- Story
Blown off. Was gutted by the ending and made me rethink some life choices. There's also a bunch of amazing side quests. Many tough choices, deep thinking, lots of consequences. The detailed writing, the variety of outcomes, the feedback after completing a quest, the scenery, weather, music in them... There's definitely some Witcher vibes and you can easily tell this is CDPR we are talking about.
The connection you establish with the characters is real. Thanks for all the touching memories.
- Visuals
Arguably the best looking game at the moment. I don't think anything is even remotely close to the beauty of Night City. I've spent countless hours just driving around and gazing at its beauty. Not a single corner felt boring. First person camera in the car, Jazz radio, night time - that's how I rolled. I cannot get enough of this city and everything they did with it. Mornings and their beauty with mesmerizing sunshine, rainy afternoons with drops rolling on the windshield. The most beautiful city I've been into, both in real and virtual life.
- Sound/audio
Breathtaking. The composers outdone themselves with this one. Background music was not overwhelming but you can feel it's always there. Radio's quite diverse with tons of music. In my 80 hours, I could still hear new songs that I haven't heard before, and I listen to all the stations. Dubstep, jazz, metal, rock, techno, hip hop... you name it.
The guns sound very realistic (not that I'd know lol). You can feel that big BANG when the bullet comes out. I loved those sounds.
The car sounds are incredible!! I've never heard more realistic sounding cars in game. You can feel the tires on the cement as if the car's outside your home. Holy sh!t that engine sound ROARS!
- Gameplay
Different and complex in a positive way. Many paths to pick, but you can mainly go with whatever floats your boat. You can start with a handgun, but lean towards hacking. Go melee or stealth, or both, or maybe all of it at once. A lot of choices and I don't think you can go wrong with any. Super-excited to a try a completely new build in my second playthrough. Driving is different (needs some getting used to) but totally worth it. My highlight was the freedom to parkour Night City. Immense verticality and freedom to explore which is often rewarded.
Thinks I didn't like / can be improved:
- some minor to medium bugs in my experience. Had only one side quest that couldn't finish because of a bug, still can't. Main quest was flawless.
- a walk button for sure. An always-running V did not fit in most situations
- zoom out radar when you're driving fast. Many missed turns because you simply have no time to react
- Trauma Team could have been utilized more. Almost not present at all, but hopefully in a future DLC
- only ONE cat to be pet
- an ability to change your look/style mid game
- the AI of the Police feels like a placeholder and needs improvement
- some AI improvement on the pedestrians and traffic in general
- could have more scopes, muzzles, but that's just nitpicking I guess
To summarize:
This game made me Wow a million times. Coming from a GTX 1060 to a RTX 3070, I could not believe that games have progressed this far. A real masterpiece that everyone should play (preferably on a high-end PC for now). Memorable quests, characters, experiences, places.
A quite ambitious approach to a game, but in my opinion a successful one with room for improvement. Just don't believe anything you read on the internet and if you get a chance to play it, try to form your own opinion of it.
A well-deserved 10/10 from me and you too should try for yourself and come up with your own opinion. Me? I cannot wait for future updates, DLC's, whatever stuff they have planned.
Thank you for this masterpiece CDPR.
Until next time.

Sweet dude, get that RTX 3070 if you can. I've everything maxed on 1080p with it, and 97% maxed on 1440p (only RTX set to 'Ultra' instead of 'Psycho').
Good luck!
I've put in 122 hours myself and still haven't completed it. But I'm near the point of no return.
I have to say, I agree with you on most points (I wouldn't rate it 10/10, but a solid 8 because of bugs and issues they need to fix).
Man though, this game has made me emotional a few times, like tears were shed. I'm a vet that deals with PTSD, and one thing that I struggle with really badly is mortality. It's something that literally haunts me.
This game touches on those things and makes you really think. And even the stuff with Johnny near the end of the game had me getting a bit emotional. They did a really, really good job with his character and showing you how he changes throughout the game.
The game isn't perfect in my eyes, not at all. Mainly because of the issues people have already stated. But for a game to touch me like this, and make me think, is awesome.... and something I haven't done much of since watching Blade Runner 2049 or Altered Carbon. (When it comes to those themes)
Kudos to the writing team. 100%.
The graphics are also incredible. I've stated it before, but bombing down Night City on a Kusanagi with the music blaring, is in my top 5 favorite video game experiences. I felt like a kid again. The same kid that grew up reading 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?', watching Blade Runner, Akira, etc. My mind was blown.

Cheers to that dude, man to man.
I'm sure CDPR have plenty in store for us (DLC) and we'll share even more experiences together.
You're right about the tears, I didn't mention them but they were definitely there
Add this mod into the base game.
www.nexusmods.com
It lets you bind all the controlls that you want, like the default use button.
This is a PC GAME for gods sakes. the options to bind certain controlls are ALREADY BAKED INTO THE GAME. WHY ARE THEY HIDING THEM?! Let me have my controlls how I want them without having to re-add a mod every single patch. this would be SO EASY TO DO.
also, secondarily, fix the camera height so it isn't in my fucking neck. Really tired of having to look up to see other people when riding in cars, and its unforgivable when driving.
I CANT SEE THE ROAD OVER THE HOOD. WHO GREENLIT THAT. The worst offenders are the badlands cars that have guns (that I can't shoot. why not?) or other things strapped to the hood that directly obstruct my vew.
Driving in first person is way more immersive and cool, but in this game its a fucking brutal chore, that is just asking you to get into an accident.
This game is getting a lot of undeserved hate in my opinion but these two things are easy fixes and NEED to happen IMMEDIATELY.
tl;dr:
The camera needs to be a foot higher in the driver seat of the car (fpv)
Let me bind every single button to what I want.
Better Controls Menu
Adds options in the key bind menu for keys that are not able to be bound by default.

1st impression..needs a lot of work and if they actually put time into fixing it, it could be great. Im not happy with how empty the city is, but it looks amazing and fun to just explore it and look at everything. They need a lot more places to enter..I won't go into the missing adult content..its been said many times over.
Create a character lacks in depth..I know you don't see your character much but the options to make your person is not much..but with time..if all our posts are read and considered then this game could definitely be game of the year..but it has far to go

After latest patch im unable to play with my y axis inverted on xboos series x... Can no longer play because ofthis
Good game. Beautyfull one, a lot of work, a lot of missing functions for more immersion. Game could be a masterpiece, but he is clearly not finished yet.
Amazing. I am 50 hours in and have done so little of the main storyline. I love to explore and do side quests. Loving it.
Congrats CDPR team ! Cyberpunk 2077 is a monument ! Really huge slap in the face for the graphic and Creative works.
Clearly a next gen game. Optimization is very good on PC (RTX2080 R5 3600 1440p). 35h gameplay now, only minor bugs (Day one version was perflectly playable for me).
As on TW3, accessing the gameplay can take some time. But once you get used to it works very good.
Story is just great and touches many current themes... It reminds me 2000 Deux Ex (which was my reference in terms of cyberpunk Action RPS).
You created a very coherent/realist open world, with a very good gameplay.
Thanks for providing us this gaming experience !
Regarding last gen consoles, in my opinion, this is clearly a sacrilege trying to transpose this masterpiece to 7 years old hardware that will ruin the huge work done AND the gaming experience.
Hope you'll regain console players with a solid Next Gen delivery !

Wow, just wow. This is by far the best game I have ever played. I have had no issues whatsoever from launch and still running like butter. I can't express how grateful I am to be playing this. I have hit 40hrs 40mins and only just completed breaking into Arasaka warehouse with Goro Takemura and continue to take my time with my first play through. What a lot of fun, the radio station of my choice is radio Pabkac this just sets the game on fire! Unreal!. And to think that this is just the beginning with DLC and patches to come, bring it on! for me this is a 9.75/10 with only one request a toggle walk button so i can truly take my time and get lost in this world even more. Well done CDPR, well done.
Same here. I avoid sunlight as I don't like going outside and all the skin types are tanned.
There must be ginger haired people in Night City, use their skin tone for reference of us who remain indoors.
It's good. Buggy, missing some things that would make it truly great, but it's a good game.
I totally agree with you on this in-fact the whole character customization is out of wack as well they forgot to implement the hip length and width butt size and I really dislike and hate the fact they force you to select fracking presets excuse my language CyberPunk devs but if your collecting data from me like all the rest then you all have to put up with this as well. lol, anyway there is so much missing from character development starting point when you click new game to be specific so they know that even till this day after 10 years I have not seen any game beat the sheer size of what you can create what body you want the way you want it then Skyrim from Bethesda. That's not excusing the fact the whole game is a big fat joke. When I bought this game I really thought to myself finely someone developed a game where you can actually choose what life your character can live and change careers mid way or something to explore new possibilities, but no the entire game is based on presets and the story they are forcing you to take. I sure as hell won't be buying from these developers any time soon till they grow a brain or two. It was my first time anyway buying from them this game CyberPunk.
Not to mention lastly and not least I'm running this game on external ram 8tb custom and with my computer over clocked and everything this game has a storm boat of stuttering clicking screen shaking and all I over clock all my games and this one really sucks I mean its expected because this game just came out but it really sucks not to mention the having to constantly start over and over after you beat the game why the hell they not release the game with new game plus. There's lots of potential for games like these too bad we have 50 year old men and women making games now a days they know nothing of new generation game designing.
