Cyberpunk 2077
I waited almost a full year before attempting to play this game. I am aware that the launch was sketchy and the game was packed full of bugs / glitches. As of patch 1.31 CyberPunk was a worth while game purchase for me. I did enjoy the almost 180 hours of playtime I put in. However driving in this game stinks bad, car handling physics felt very arcade like and also felt like I was always driving on wet slick surfaces. I can’t remember how many times I’ve lost control of my vehicles flying off the side of a bridge or overpass and take my car swimming with me - Laughable… Racing missions, ugh… what a disgrace to racing games. One other thing, the faster you drive, the most deserted and desolate the city becomes. Driving fast turns the city of Night City into a ghost town. The game engine can’t keep up with the asset loading buffer, so in an attempt to keep the bare bones city going, all npc cars and people disappear. I recommend not driving at all in CyberPunk, walk, run, hop skip run walk… whatever… or ride shotgun as a passenger in a vehicle! If you have no choice but to drive, do it slowly… feather the throttle and keep it in the granny lane at all times. Far better immersive gaming experience in what was supposed to be Witcher 4 in a modern city. At this point, I’d be a happy CyberPunk gamer if CD Project Red gave me Roach to ride in Night City. Slow and steady wins the race here,

It took me a year to finish this game because I kept getting pissed off while playing it (finished it a couple of days ago from writing this review). So you have over 180h in it, why do you still not recommend it? Because this game is the dictionary definition of edging and then leaving you with blue balls. I really, really wanted to like it but I was hit with disappointment after disappointment.
The good:
-
it’s a beautiful game design wise
-
it has some memorable side-quests that I really liked

This game is great!
The game does a great job of taking an idea of a society like the one seen in movies like BladeRunner (or fuckin Pluto Nash) and expands on it. The world has enough new elements to make it stand out.
The main characters are great and you really do end up loving them. The side characters are also great in how funny or wacky they are while sometimes being effectively used symbolically to highlight real world issues and topics.
While the controls of the ships can be a little wonky everything else is pretty spot on.

I had my reservations about this game to begin with, I thought it was going to be yet another 8 bit style game trying to be something more impressive. Well, I was quite wrong, this is a good game with a good storyline and impressive graphics with out of this world lighting. My only criticism is the rigidness of the story every answer and every question is already planned out, now normally I wouldn’t mind that layout but I feel the game deserves more. There is a lot to love about this game, I felt sorry for control and was invested in Rania’s life enough to keep playing. A good game with good characters and fantastic lighting, man I love that lighting :-). One last thing to add, the city is glorious, fascinating to drive around and big, very very big.

Drink&walk&stare into the rainy sky. But don’t forget to watch your back!
Enter the cyberpunk City that buzzes with the technology. Walk through the alleys barely lit by the light of neon. Solve the mysteries that cast a shadow upon the innocents, and collect the transfer when the job is done. You say that it’s dirty money? I say – it doesn’t matter in this city of sin.
Feel the noir atmosphere and let yourself sink into this world of beauty and bestiality.
Rain is drumming on the roof. Your pitiful apartment is filled with pungency of decay and misery. You may try to get dressed, but you will only find one semi-white shirt, a pair of not-so-new shoes and a tattered tie. Nevertheless, inspecting the room can provide you with many intriguing details such as the empty glass lying on the table adjacent to the window. It is still smelling of whiskey and if you lift it up, the round stain will remain on the wood.
Always try to move objects and ferret through the stuff – the clues may be hidden right under your nose!
Markets, suspicious shops and dark corners stinking with sewage. All of these are crawling with drug dealers, hookers, cyber gangs and young hackers. Walk by them or interact with them as you traipse through the city. Either way, all roads lead back to the familiar, eye-catching neon. It’s always nice to spend some time in a pub, drinking to the point that you no longer remember about this wicked town.
While strolling, don’t forget to look into every nook and cranny of the City, even if it doesn’t seem plausible. You don’t want to miss a hidden opportunity!
Life is filled with serendipity. How else could you explain waking up next to the beautiful woman covered only in sheets, combined with fact that she’s just given you the commission? How did you ended up here? And does it even matter? The only thing you have to chew on is this woman’s tragic story. It is filled with love, affair, money, abuse – and is just like the ones you’ve heard before.
Choose the job and mystery that appeals to you! Hear the stories of the people and get to know them better.
The feeble scent of the woman’s perfumes is still palpable on your stained, old shirt. Are you going accept her commission, or will you resist those large, mournful eyes? You have to remember that the amiable intentions are one thing, but another are high-stakes – people can offer you really good money. If you agree, then the only thing left to do is to start the investigation!
Solve the mysteries and watch all pieces of puzzle fall into the place.
Some things should remain unspoken. The corruption, murder, prosthesis’ dark market – these are the foundation of this heinous city. Nevertheless, you are dead set on finding the suspect. You have to question them all – the kingpins with sordid intentions as well as the vagrants that were in the wrong place in the wrong time.
Interrogate and collect the facts. That’s the only way to learn the truth!
You may be lured into the traps! Find cover from the fusillade of bullets and deftly escape from the bad guys. Combat is unavoidable, but you have to be wise. There are many enemies and simply not enough ammunition. You may start to doubt yourself – why were you so diligent to accept the commission? Never mind, now you just have to bring it to an end.
Survive the firing and punish those who deserve it!
Let’s say that you managed to find out who the killer was. Now, all you have to do is to choose whether you want to expose them and collect the remuneration, or let things be. Is this worth messing with the most powerful persons in the city? Will this satiate the blood lust or just make everything worse?
Decide and live with the consequences (…or don’t?). You choices have impact on the game!
This was just a beginning, and there are many more stories just waiting for you in the dark alleys of the City. Evolve from a wreck to a true detective that knows the true and manages to live with it. Stroll through the city, fight the bad guys, romance with beautiful ladies, meet shadowy liaisons and decide whether someone is worthy of your trust. Feel the vibe of this cyberpunk city that never sleeps.
And nor will you, until you solve its mysteries!

CrashMetal - Cyberpunk
I’ll talk about the pros and cons of this game to let you, the reader, know more about the game, at the end I’ll give my opinion on the game in it’s current state and let you decide whether it’s worth it or not.
-PROS-
The game is very well optimised for both my laptop and my PC and run well on both systems.
There’s a lot of customisation for the different vehicles that are currently in the game
The map is a decent size, it’s not huge and it’s not small
You’re able to teleport to the different races/bosses without having to spend any credit (aka in-game currency)

The game is really great although there are a lot of bugs, sometimes when I am in the performance upgrade page I go to press escape, but it doesn’t work and I have to close the game then reopen it for it to work. As well as when you enter drift area, you cannot go onto other events even after the timer for drift mode runs out, so you would have to go back to garage then back into the map to be able to access the other races, and the problem of “Name too short” while trying to access multiplayer, you can’t actually change your name so that kinda sucked. The graphics are really great, gameplay is a little confusing at first, but then you learn them quickly and the races are good but repetative.

ENCODE
I really enjoy this game, It truly nails the cyberpunk blade runner feel. No other game on steam can match this. People are giving negative reviews like its too dark, my goodness just adjust your gamma. This game has amazing detail for a small studio of only two people. They made another game blade net that was amazing as well, very unique, cyber punk feel game of hide and seek with a twist. People who leave negative reviews with only 0.5 hours of play you guys need to re think what you are doing. I have tried every cyber punk game on steam and this game really gives me that vibe, it is totally worth the low price of 19.99/17.99 its ok to point out bugs and issues but this game deserves a positive review. Look at it like this this game has so much potential but if people keep coming and dropping negative reviews after only 5 minutes of playing the game is going to do bad, and the developer might just give up, but if you play the game give good feedback more people are likely to buy the game and the devs will have more energy and resources to make more content. thank you to the devs for this game, it really enjoy it, thanks for all your hard work

What I love is that the world within the game seems so much bigger than what you see. Its atmospheric, dystopian Tokyo feel is served by an excellent soundtrack and unique narrative. Driving around was not only an entertaining part of the gameplay, it gave me an opportunity to explore the nooks and crannies of a city I had never really seen the likes of before.
I think the developer deserves kudos for building a universe that is stylistically reminiscient of Blade Runner without being trite, and filling it was sufficiently interesting things to do to capture my attention for a few hours. With some refinement and a little more time to incubate, the game would be a really hefty competitor in the cyberpunk genre. It has solid foundations and delivers on the intrigue of its concept, especially for an indie game. The uphill part of the battle is building a convincing in-game universe, even if it is a little sparse here.

Changed the review to positive, the dev fixed a lot of the issues I mentioned.
Like yeah the AI is still basic, its a bit asset reliant (the zombies used for the corpses for example) and it could still use a bit of optimization on some sections but it’s a single dev and I absolutely didn’t know he was working alone when I made my review.
The only thing that really annoy me rn is that if you shoot a dinosaur in the head from behind, the hit will not register as a headshot, so you will have to shoot him another time from the front to kill him and that’s pretty risky.
– Real player with 32.3 hrs in game
this game is a very amazing dino shooting/horror game because of the whole inventory system and the way the dinosaurs die but there is one fault, when you go to the last stand area with the other survivors you have two choices: fight alongside with them against the endless amount of raptors and die or blow a hole in the wall so everyone can escape with a C4. i chose option 2 but when i detonated the C4 there was no hole in the wall at all and there was not a single scratch on it it was still in perfect condition and no matter what the wall can take 4 C4’s and still stay in one piece so i restarted the game and got back to where i was and when i detonated the C4 it still stood in one piece so can you please fix that? it would help me so much in the game if you do that. but other than the whole C4 not doing any damage to the wall thing i would definitely recommend this to other players.

It’s bad. It is really bad. I wanted to like this game, I really did, and I went in with extremely low expectations. Even though it was only $0.99, I still feel robbed. A junior cheeseburger would be more rewarding than this. I barely made it past the beginning. Everything about it is terrible, except for the aesthetic, which is only marginally interesting. I’m a huge fan of the cyberpunk and neo noir genres, but I couldn’t even begin to get into this.
I definitely don’t have a high end gaming rig, but my frame rates should NOT be this low when the graphics are this bad, so obviously much of the processing is just going to unnecessary lens flares and glow and stuff like that, which does little to make up for everything else. The gameplay is extremely rough and non-intuitive.

More interesting reviews on my Curator’s Page
Neon code is an experimental 3D adventure game that plunges us in an investigation of corporate conspiracy and murder, carried out by the detective, and main character, Craig Williams, in a cyberpunk world, full of lights and futuristic technology.
The city where the action takes place is vast and amenable to exploration. The 3D graphics are simple but well-done, with dark backgrounds, only lit by street lights and neon ads, which fit perfectly into the story environment. The music, predominantly electronic, blends surprisingly well with the game atmosphere and accompanies us without interruption.
