Been playing Cyberpunk 2077 alongside with Phantom Liberty (Clocking in around 185 hours total) after I got it on discount and upgraded my computer after my old motherboard went brick after 10 years of service. Honestly had a blast playing it, like to get lost and immersed into Night City, really encapsulates the capitalist dystopia of market force left unchecked and the entire world is **** . Combat is pretty fun despite being fundamentally pretty basic and not ground breaking even for FPS standards as it misses certain things like able to switch firing modes for firearms or player character animations in third person is incredibly stiff and unnatural, but yet despite that it has satisfying animations, sounds and details of the weapons. Story is very flawed as it heavily rely more on metaphors and meaning rather than realism. The game is obviously about existentialism so we can't really build nor work toward socialist movement or help the people in general but rather find meaning of living in individuals we love and care. So in short, it's a fun but very and deeply flawed game, no where close to what was promised by CDPR back in 2017, which is funny because people suddenly got dementia ever since the release of Edgerunner and especially Phantom Liberty release, and refer the game as the best game ever, likely supported by the fact that similar games like Starfield, Redfall, etc are terrible games. It's really surreal when you think about it, goes to show that consumers from western world can easily get lost and forget what they're fighting for. (Also this is my first post despite being here in Lemmygrad for a while.)

I've been playing it a bit recently, I didn't get it when it came out. It's...fine? Like it's not a game with gripping social satire or anything, it's just a vague sort of shooty bang bang sort of game, if you like FPS games with RPG elements, you'll probably like it.

Its fine? If your pc can handle ray tracing, it looks fantastic. The story is weak, PL has you literally saving the president while 5 minutes ago you were screaming ACAB at the top of your lungs, but its fun enough.

Worth a pirate. Maybe 20 - 30 bucks.

No.

its not bad now but nowhere near the hype

cant recommend you to support them financially tho

I feel like if you're playing it on any year other than 2077 you're missing the point.

I played it at launch. It was buggy. But even without the bugs, it doesn't hold a candle to Witcher 3.

always had been, phantom liberty tho is terrible

If you have a good PC I think it looks amazing and it's awesome to wander around the world, huge fan of first person immersion. Some good voice acting and story scenes here and there.

it's arguably more worth playing in 2024, since the skill tree system was significantly overhauled last year and the Phantom Liberty DLC is supposed to be a great addition to the game (I haven't got around to playing the DLC yet).

100% yes. If you’ve played anything by CDPR before, you can expect the same level of attention to detail in the world-building and storytelling that CDPR has always been great at. It’s not an earth-shattering open-world game, but it is magnificently immersive, moreso than any other open world game I’ve played.

It also felt extraordinarily relatable.

I love it. It was rough at launch, but the story and quest lines were great. With all the updates, it's on my personal list of greatest games ever made. The writing is amazing, the environments and world are so well crafted.
