Playing on Xbox Series X (33 hours in - on time of writing)
I give a 9.5/10, hopefully DLCs will make that a 10. Very excited for what is to come.
I am super grateful I was able to get a next-gen console to play Cyberpunk, if you’re thinking of doing the same I highly recommend, this game is def a next-gen & PC game. It runs amazingly well on the Series X, very minor glitches that haven’t hurt my experience.
I haven’t finished the main quests yet, I have been taking my time exploring things and playing at my pace. And the side quests are absolutely amazing, the stories are so rich, most of them feel like main quests.
I am also 95% of the time playing games of the type to try to skip every speech quickly, but something about Cyberpunk made me extremely invested in the stories and characters, I never skip anything. Definitely the best part of the game.
The FPS play is pretty fun in my opnion, although some people say the contrary. Playing on Hard, I take my time going between the different weapons, smart weapons, quickhacking enemies, hacking systems, sneaking and using melee weapons. The mechanics when throughoutly explored I found very fun to do the missions.
Driving around feels ok, I am a fan of driving games, but definitely understand it is not the focus of the game and that is ok. It’s just driving, though I found the most fun driving motorcycles. But still it’s just used for getting from point A to B.
As to what I wish to be added.
• Definitely more customization of character in game (haircuts, tattoos, cosmetic clothes ...).
• More in depth interactions with random people on the street? More complex actions for the NPCs.
• More chances for exploring braindances as a cosmetic for fun thing.
• A reputation system with the different factions/gangs, where you can do quests for each of them, and keep track of your relationship with those factions, unlocking good perks for getting to the top.
• More depth for relationships in game.
P.S.: Honestly I understand a lot of people are having issues and some people dislike the game even without the bugs. But I’ve been playing since launch and have loved it so much, I’ve tried to keep away from the negativity people are saying around the game because I feel like that could influence my opinion.
