-Night City is by far the most beautiful open-world map in any game, and deserves its own bullet point. It is densely packed with towering buildings, with consumerist ads plastered all over the place. The design of Night City alone definitely screams cyberpunk, so if you are a fan of the genre or movies like Blade Runner then you are in for a treat. Driving around in the city and just looking up still makes my jaw drop, every time. I can't even imagine how beautiful it must be in Night City on PCMR.
-Music in this game is absolute fire! I loved every single song/BGM thats playing during driving, battles, missions etc. Some of my favs: The Rebel Path, NCPD Prowl, No Save Point, Hole in the Sun. CDPR really knocked it out of the park with the music. The environmental sound design is top-notch too, when you walk around on the streets and hear news and ads blaring from the speakers, it really sells the idea that you are in a future dystopia.
-The design of weapons, cars, clothes, language, lore and general world-building are some of the best in the cyberpunk genre. Its dripping with style.
-The story and the characters are engaging and worth investing your time into. It made me intensely curious about what's coming next, so much that I am willing to wade through the bugs just to keep moving forward. The voice of V (I only played the male version tho) is cool and isn't annoying to hear at all, unlike the mc in Days Gone and other games.
-Gunplay is okay, its much better than Fallout 4 but won't dethrone COD or CS anytime soon.

-This game is absolutely packed with bugs as you already know. I've had my share of gaming on PC and consoles for generations, and this is the buggiest game I have ever played in my life. I am currently recording the bugs on my PS5 so I can make a montage later, but here is a short list of bugs that I've experienced and you can look forward to in this game:
T-posing
Quest-breaking bugs (unable to finish coz enemies are clipping into each other)
NPCs speaking at the same time
Weird lighting changes
Cars/NPCs popping in and out of existence
Constant crashes on PS4 and PS5
TERRIBLE FPS ON PS4 PRO! MY CONDOLENCES FOR LAST GEN GAMERS
Can't wait for crowbcat to shit on this game.
-The beauty of Night City is only skin deep. There is literally NOTHING TO DO in this game apart from main and side missions. No bowling, no snooker, no barbers, no car customisation, cant buy houses, NPC AI is the dumbest in any AAA game, so many shops that cant be interacted with.
-The hyped lifepath options carry little to no weight in the game. Same goes for dialogue options, they are disappointing. You are stuck choosing between varying levels of yes or no for most prompts which results in almost the same outcomes every time.
-The skill tree looks deep, but its mostly % increases on your stat or skill duration. Rarely there are skills that change up the way you play the game.
I am no expert but I wouldn't call Cyberpunk 2077 an RPG. Even Fallout 4 is a much better RPG than this. I would say that this game is an action shooter with a basic skill tree and dialogue options.

JUST SKIP THIS GAME UNTIL NEXT YEAR WHEN THE PATCHES COME IN. Just ask yourself this: do you really want to play a game that can drop to sub-20 FPS and doesn't look that good to begin with? You cant even drive around without the FPS constantly dropping and stuttering! Not to mention it can crash on you anytime, making you lose progress. Don't give into the hype, just save your money. This is coming from a guy who bought the lore book and Adidas shoes because he was so hyped for this game. DON'T GIVE IN, KASI TAHAN, ITS NOT WORTH YOUR TIME OR MONEY TO PLAY THIS GAME AT ITS CURRENT STATE
TL;DR - CP2077 is a drop-dead gorgeous, high-class hooker but is riddled with STDs and is a very terrible lay. Stay the F away and go back to sleep, samurai.
