I've been playing a lot of Cyberpunk 2077 lately. There's a lot of the game I like: the story is really good, I like a lot of the characters and interactions are memorable, some of the gameplay is very cool and interesting. Unfortunately it DOES have a lot of problems too, while the most severe bugs have been patched, it's still a generally buggy game with bugs ranging from minor and amusing (cars flying above the road, running places and looking at a person shows them as a low-poly undetailed monstrosity) to obnoxious (sometimes a "help box" pops up in the corner of the screen and won't go away or an item can't be picked up until you exit and reload your game). The game is clearly trying to do WAY too much, it has a number of driving segments that play like garbage, the game has some really bad combat mechanics especially for melee, stealth isn't fun, a lot of ideas in the game are poorly introduced, et al.
But overall, I'm leaning towards liking it. I wish I was playing it on a PS5 or gaming PC rather than a base PS4. I like the setting and the story is definitely CYBERPUNK in the ways that counts IMO. I can't strongly recommend it but I do think it's worth checking out if you think it looks cool. Especially since you can get it for $10 on consoles now.
