Cyberpunk 2077

"Your decisions can have a tangible and natural-feeling impact on both the world around you and the stories of the people who inhabit it. Those stories can be emotional, funny, dark, exciting, and sometimes all of those things at once" 

"Neither its gameplay nor its narrative can imagine the bold possibilities that I find so central to the best of cyberpunk. But what it does offer is visions of people trying to make do and get by in a world that’s trying to eat them alive (...) It’s not the revolution I hoped for, but it’s something" 

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

"Immersive but Too Familiar Vision of a Future Past (...) Less a work of intensely relevant speculative fiction than a nostalgia piece for yesteryear’s vision of tomorrow. Sometimes, it even works." 

"Does Cyberpunk 2077 live up to the hype? (...) The answer is no (...) Its set-piece battles, its stylistic bravado – all are testament to the efforts of a talented workforce (...) [But] You’re always a tourist, never a citizen (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Those expecting Cyberpunk 2077 to generate some sort of tectonic shift in video games would do well to re-adjust their expectations: the game is good, even great in places, but does very little to shake things up (...) The main campaign (...) is excellent, but it's not so much innovative." 

"Brilliant, fascinating and engrossing but bears the scars of a tough development"
