Note from OpenCritic:

Please note: This game has significant disparities in performance, player experience, and review scores between the PC, next-gen consoles, Xbox One, and PS4 versions.

The OpenCritic team and several critics suspect that the developer, CD PROJEKT RED, intentionally sought to hide the true state of the game on Xbox One and PS4, with requirements such as only allowing pre-rendered game footage in reviews and not issuing review copies for PS4 and Xbox One versions.

This notice will be taken down in February 2021.

Recent News and Notable Information

SkillUp reports:

I have finished Cyberpunk but I will not have a review up today as I could not comply with CDPR”s embargo requirement that prohibited us from using our own recorded gameplay in the review. Instead, we were told to use b-roll, which is basically trailer footage.

Reviews should not be vehicles for rolling out more marketing material, so I’ll put my review up when I’m able to show you the reality of the game with my own footage.

I’m also disappointed that no console review code was provided to any outlet…

Console games are often reviewed without their day one or even day zero patches, so Cyberpunk would not have been special in this regard. Its really lame that no reviewer can tell you how this game runs on console on the review embargo.

I absolutely love this game and I think CDPR did extraordinary work, but its clearly unfinished at this point and no review relying on trailer footage alone can properly convey that.

Fabian Mario Döhla (CDPR PR) regarding reviews being on the Day 1 patch or not (getting conflicting info regarding this so take it with a grain of salt):

They are not – a bunch of issues reviewers encountered (and reported) have been fixed already, some more are part of the update.

Toms Hardware Performance Review:

The minimum GPU listed is a GTX 780, with GTX 1060 6GB recommended for 1080p high, RTX 2060 for 1440p ultra, and an RTX 2080 Super for 4K ultra. Then there’s the ray tracing additions, with the RTX 2060 listed as the minimum for 1080p and RT medium, 3070 for 1440p and RT ultra, and 3080 for 4K RT ultra. Based on what we’re seeing, it looks like those recommendations are for 30-40 fps.

Areajugones – Víctor Rodríguez – Spanish – 9.5 / 10

Cyberpunk 2077 is the ultimate power fantasy. A video game that takes the best of modern RPG, first-person shooter, stealth, and the open world and masterfully blends it into a single product. If Skyrim and GTA V marked a before and after for their genres at the beginning of the 2010s, Cyberpunk 2077 is called to do the same from this 2020.

Daily Mirror – James Ide – 5 / 5 stars

The game may not be perfect but given CD project Red’s reputation for fixing and updating games Cyberpunk has a bright neon-lit future. It can proudly sit among its influences of Ghost in the Shell, Blade Runner and Neuromancer (as well as games like Deus Ex, System Shock) with its augmented head held high.

It’s been a long wait, but the end result is a massive sprawling RPG with an incredible story, heart-pounding action, solid mechanics and customisation, offering you unparalleled player choice in a deep, atmospheric world that I can’t wait to plug myself back into.

Destructoid – Chris Carter – 7.5 / 10

Cyberpunk 2077 is a victim of bloat, but you can choose to ignore a lot of it and take in the sights. That’s where Night City is at its best, and I sincerely suggest that you take your time going through it, as rushing will only lead to disappointment. Even just strolling through though though, you’ll probably be left wanting more.

Digital Spy – Owen Gough – 5 / 5 stars

We could wax lyrical about how good this game is for another ten years, and we still think the conversation would be relevant – so yes, we think Cyberpunk 2077 is the game of the decade. This is an event, and a big moment in gaming, because the brilliant Cyberpunk 2077 is laying down the stepping stones for greater feats in the future.

Enternity.gr – Nikos Papakonstantinou – Greek – 9.5 / 10

CD Projekt RED is willing to take an even bigger risk and dare something very different, combining elements that they have proven to know well and elements which they have no previous experience in.

Eurogamer – Chris Tapsell – Recommended

Exceptional characters, heartfelt storytelling and enjoyable action threaten to be engulfed by endless bugs and hasty, uneven design.

Everyeye.it – Alessandro Bruni – Italian – 9 / 10

And it is precisely for this reason that, despite all the technical problems of the production, we cannot in any way fail to assign a vote of excellence to the work of CDPR: the defects will disappear over time, but already now Cyberpunk 2077 is a title which undoubtedly deserves a place of honor in all players’ library.

GAMES.CH – Benjamin Braun – German – 88 / 100

Measured against the extreme expectations, Cyberpunk 2077 can’t fulfill any of them. But all in all, despite the countless small weaknesses and inconsequences, with interesting characters, great story and dialogues or the freedom concerning gameplay, CD Projekt delivers a unique and great RPG that every fan of the genre needs to play.

GRYOnline.pl – Michał Mańka – Polish – 9 / 10

Cyberpunk 2077 proves that the developers have improved their skills since fantastic The Witcher 3. It is an excellent action RPG that would benefit from a longer delay to polish the various issues. However, no amount of bugs can diminish the immense pleasure of exploring this world.

Gadgets 360 – Akhil Arora – 3 / 10

The era of the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X has arrived, but Cyberpunk 2077 is currently running on those next-gen platforms via backwards compatibility. A true next-gen update isn’t due until sometime in 2021. That means CD Projekt Red developed a game for three platforms, and it’s running on an acceptable level on just one (PC), provided you have the hardware. That is just plain ridiculous.

Game Informer – Andrew Reiner – 9 / 10

An open world you can get lost in and continue finding new things to do

GameHaunt – Mark Louis Salazar – 4 / 5 stars

Cyberpunk 2077 is of massive ambition, and the characters in it are brilliantly written and performed.

GameMAG – Александр Копанев – Russian – 9 / 10

It’s definitely feels like with Cyberpunk 2077 CD Projekt RED tried to tell a really meaningful story, while using as a backdrop truly a unique setting. And all the while the developers made sure that the game still feels approachable by all kind of people, and that it presents itself with insane graphical fidelity painting an image of an eerily realistic world of tommorow. We doubt there’s too many people who don’t believe in CD Projekt RED, but in case you’re one of them, be warned – Cyberpunk 2077 is something that will change the way you look at the gaming industry as a whole.

GameOnAUS – Royce Wilson – Essential

This is an outstanding and highly enjoyable game, but take your time with it, do all the side missions (think of them as extensions of the main quest, in fact) and don’t rush the main storyline. You should absolutely take the earliest available opportunity to explore Night City and everything it has to offer. From the visuals to the music to the vibe, it’s a superb experience and one I am looking forward to spending a lot more time with.

GamePro – Dennis Michel – German – 83 / 100

Cyberpunk fascinates with its story and characters, but presents itself in a partially desolate state on consoles.

GameSpew – Richard Seagrave – 10 / 10

Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t perfect, but it is ambitious. It marries a gripping story with a huge open world absolutely dripping with atmosphere; one in which, after fifty hours of gameplay, I still feel like I’ve only scratched its surface. Even now I’m itching to jump back in and complete yet more side jobs, not only because they’re enjoyable, but also just in case they offer V more options when it comes to ending their story.

GameSpot – Kallie Plagge – 7 / 10

Cyberpunk 2077 has standout side quests and strong main characters, though its buggy, superficial world and lack of purpose bring it down.

GameWatcher – Marcello Perricone – 9 / 10

A remarkably well-executed open world game whose greatest heights exceed its deepest failings.

Gameblog – Gianni Molinaro – French – 7 / 10

Cyberpunk 2077 is a new masterpiece from CD Projekt RED, a huge, dense, vibrant, colorfoul and dark Sci-Fi RPG that any fan of the genre should step in. First because it will provide the sensation that the story really depends on you choices and that you have everything you need for your playstyle. Then because streets, stores, buildings, inhabitants of Night City won’t get out of your head easily. You’ll be happy to interact with Keanu Reeves, but the real star is this city and all it provides in terms of atmosphere, game mechanics and stories.

[OpenCritic note: Gianni Molinaro separately reviewed the next-gen (10) and current-gen (4) versions. The scores have been averaged.]

Gamerheadquarters – Jason Stettner – 10 / 10

Cyberpunk 2077 is the cyberpunk game of my dreams, it provides one of the most highly detailed environments I’ve ever seen, with an incredibly expansive and immersive narrative.

Gamers Heroes – Blaine Smith – 60 / 100

Cyberpunk 2077 is a great game, but it could have been an incredible game that defined a generation. Instead, it falls victim to its own ambition and the industry’s constant desire to push, push, push it out. In its current state, it’s not for the faint of heart, and even hardcore Cyberpunk fans may struggle to stay interested amidst all the crashes and issues. If you have yet to pick it up, wait a few months and you could very well be treated to the experience we were all hoping for at launch.

Gamersky – 不倒翁蜀黍 – Chinese – 9.1 / 10

Although there still exist a lot of technical glitches, Cyberpunk 2077 stands out in terms of cyberpunk concept, story-telling, characters, level-design, combat, and so forth. It’s a pleasure to spend hundreds of hours in the Night City, and I believe it would be one of the greatest open-world RPGs in the next decade.

GamesBeat – Jeff Grubb – 3 / 5 stars

It’s fine to make a game like that — for many, that’s the promise of Cyberpunk 2077. It just wasn’t the promise to me.

GamesRadar+ – Sam Loveridge – 5 / 5 stars

What Cyberpunk 2077 lacks in core campaign length, it makes up for with depth and soul, offering a world of intrigue and violence unlike any other.

Geek Culture – Marion Frayna – 9.1 / 10

The dark future certainly looks promising, thanks to the collective imagination of the team at CD Projekt Red, which seems to know no bounds. Cyberpunk 2077 certainly took a while to come to our hands, but be glad it’s finally here, for it is here to stay for a long time to come. And it certainly did not disappoint.

One word: undercooked

God is a Geek – Mick Fraser – 10 / 10

Despite a few flaws, Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most consistently astounding pieces of media I’ve ever had the pleasure of consuming.

Hobby Consolas – David Martinez – Spanish – 98 / 100

Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the greatest RPGs of the generation. We love Night City, its characters and great writing for every mission. It is also one of the best looking games out there (if your PC is powerful enough).

IGN – Tom Marks – 9 / 10

Cyberpunk 2077 throws you into a beautiful, dense cityscape and offers a staggering amount of flexibility in how you choose to take it from there.

IGN Italy – Davide Mancini – Italian – 9.3 / 10

Cyberpunk 2077 is like an addictive, huge, impressive braindance, where the feelings are real, while sometimes you see the puppet strings. It’s an ambitious RPG, where narration, decisions and dialogue are far more important than combat, wrapped around a lot of fun, but usual and not always perfect, action mechanics. Engaging and marvellous to play, Night City on high-end PCs is stunning to see and super stylish. Cyberpunk 2077 is worth the wait, because the adventure of V and Johnny Silverhand is greater than the sum of its parts.

INDIANTVCZ – Filip Kraucher – Czech – 10 / 10

Cyberpunk 2077 offers a great sci-fi experience in which you can get lost for hours. It is not a revolutionary title in its genre, but it brings fresh changes. Whether it’s new tasks, well-written dialogues, and characters, good stylized graphics, or very pleasant controls. Decision-making constructions leave you free where you need them. Conversely, they bind you in places where it is important. Everything fits together thanks to that. And if you were afraid that Cyberpunk 2077 would be a debacle. Throw this worry behind your head. Enjoy Night City to the fullest!

Kotaku – Riley MacLeod – Unscored

I haven’t fallen in love with playing Cyberpunk 2077, but I haven’t loathed it either. Some moments have been exciting or moving, while others have just felt like stuff to do.

M3 – Raphael Cano Felix – Swedish – 5 / 5 stars

A more emotive and engaging title is hard to find.

Merlin’in Kazanı – Ersin Kılıç – Turkish – 85 / 100

Cyberpunk 2077 offers an experience that players who love the genre should definitely try despite the bugs and big problems it contains.

Metro GameCentral – GameCentral – 8 / 10

A stunning achievement in open world gameplay but one whose tonal inconsistencies and weak narrative undermines what could have been an all-time classic.

PC Gamer – James Davenport – 78 / 100

Some nice characters and stories nested in an astounding open world, undercut by jarring bugs at every turn.

PCGamesN – Richard Scott-Jones – 9 / 10

Groundbreaking, but not quite as much as you’re hoping it is. Cyberpunk 2077 doesn’t surpass its brilliant influences, but in Night City, Johnny Silverhand, and its chilling vision of hyper-capitalism, it claims territory of its own.

PCMag – 3.5 / 5 stars

I fell in love with Night City, warts and all. If its many bugs can get ironed out, Cyberpunk 2077 is a potential Game of the Year candidate. Here’s hoping that CD Projekt Red can quickly push out fixes.

PPE.pl – Wojciech Gruszczyk – Polish – 9.5 / 10

Cyberpunk 2077 is huge, steeped in sex, satisfying shooting, and the expansion of individual elements delights. It’s one of those productions you want to get ing into to get to know its charms and enjoy every moment in Night City.

Frankly, Cyberpunk 2077 is the best video game I’ve ever played

Press Start – Brodie Gibbons – 9 / 10

Cyberpunk 2077 is staggering, overwhelming, and even surprising at times in its spectacle. Although my first dozen hours with the game has been marred by easy-to-fix problems, Nighty City, along with all it offers and all that call it home, makes for an intoxicating escape. Here’s hoping the next one hundred hours are as utterly compelling.

Push Square – Robert Ramsey – Unscored

We’re still playing Cyberpunk 2077 in order to bring you a finished review, but it’s impossible to recommend picking this game up at launch on PS4 or PS4 Pro. On PS5 via backwards compatibility, there’s still fun to be had – a glimpse of the game’s excellent potential – but even then, it’s crippled by bugs and crashing issues. There’s something truly special at the core of Cyberpunk 2077, but in its current state, it’s simply not good enough. So far, a colossal disappointment.

RPG Site – 9 / 10

When Cyberpunk’s grim setting and mix of gameplay systems land, it is a powerfully impressive experience – sprawling, dense, clever, witty, and most importantly damn good fun. Other times, it has all the charm of a moody, edgy teenager.

SECTOR.sk – Peter Dragula – Slovak – 10 / 10

Absolutely stunning action game with a lot of content, deep RPG progres and dialogue. Another master-piece from CD Projekt Red!

Saudi Gamer – عصام الشهوان – Arabic – 8 / 10

An ambitious, maybe over ambitious, thrilling ride that falters when it comes to execution. The developer’s strength shines through the world building and production, resulting in a unique mix that is let down by a myriad list of technical and AI problems.

Screen Rant – 4 / 5 stars

Ultimately, it feels like Cyberpunk 2077 is a fitting bookend for the previous generation of games and a strong starting point for current-gen. Now it’s time to start innovating again.

Cyberpunk 2077 traces a new path for the open-world RPGs, telling a thought-provoking story about the dangerous drifts of humankind.

Stevivor – Jay Ball – 9.5 / 10

The most important thing that everyone needs to know about Cyberpunk 2077 is that while it’s imperfect, it is without a doubt a superb game.

The Digital Fix – Andrew Shaw – 10 / 10

CD Projekt Red has set a new standard for what can be achieved in this sandbox. Cyberpunk 2077 is taking open-world gaming to the next generation.

The Games Machine – Danilo Dellafrana – Italian – 9.5 / 10

Cyberpunk 2077 is a wild journey within an incredibly fascinating setting; some technical uncertainties destined to disappear and a partial repetitiveness limit its glory, but overall it is an adventure worthy of William Gibson himself. Cyberpunk 2077 allowed me to finally feel immersed in that pen & paper RPG I discovered in 1988, pouring rain clouding my view in a kaleidoscope of neon signs, just as I had imagined while leafing through those pages. Some may not consider it a perfect game, but I do.

TheGamer – Kirk McKeand – 5 / 5 stars

I’m V and the game is Silverhand – I can’t get Cyberpunk 2077 out of my head. I’ve had it a week and played 70 hours, which is probably about as healthy as scooping out my face and replacing it with electronics, but it didn’t feel like work. Like a digital personality loaded onto a biochip, it felt like stepping into another life for a while. It’s a life I can’t wait to relive.

TrueAchievements – Heidi Nicholas – 4.5 / 5 stars

It might not reinvent the genre in every aspect, but for a fantastic story, an insanely detailed word, and brilliant dialogue, you’ve got to try it.

TrustedReviews – Jade King – 4 / 5 stars

CD Projekt Red has created a triumphant RPG experience with Cyberpunk 2077, yet it often falters under the weight of its own ambition thanks to inconsistent writing and narrative

Twisted Voxel – Ali Haider – 7 / 10

Too ambitious for its own good, Cyberpunk 2077 attempts to do too much and falters in its execution as a result. Despite its issues, it’s better than the sum of its parts and might be worth checking out for fans of action RPGs.

VG247 – James Billcliffe – 5 / 5 stars

In the midst of such intense anticipation and scrutiny, it’s easy to get carried away with what Cyberpunk 2077 could have been. The final experience might be more familiar than many predicted, with plenty of elements that aren’t perfect, but it’s dripping with detail and engaging stories. With so much to see and do, Cyberpunk 2077 is the kind of RPG where you blink and hours go by, which is just what we need to finish off 2020.

Windows Central – Jez Corden – 5 / 5 stars

Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world masterpiece that features some of the most immersive and liberating storytelling this industry has to offer. With full freedom to choose V’s personality, looks, and gameplay style, Cyberpunk 2077 gives the player an unrelenting amount of control in a world that delivers dozens upon dozens of hours of high-quality content. Cyberpunk 2077 is a mammoth achievement and solidifies CD Projekt RED’s place at the top of the pile.

Worth Playing – Chris “Atom” DeAngelus – 6.5 / 10

It may not sound like it, but I enjoyed many aspects of Cyberpunk 2077. It doesn’t hit the highs of The Witcher 3, but it still has a lot going for it. However, it was released in such an unfinished state that it’s hard to give it a positive review. It’s an 8.0 game hiding in a 4.0 game wrapper. I might change my tune in a few months, when patches have rolled out, but even when playing the best version available on the PlayStation systems, there’s no getting around it: Cyberpunk 2077 might have been mocked for its delays, but it needed more of them. You’ll still have fun if you pick it up now, but unless you’re dying for it, it’s best to wait until it’s been patched and improved.
