My condolences may she rest in peace

Losing a relative is such a punch in the gut, super sorry to hear it.

This is probably the most reasonable assessment of the game I have seen. Cyberpunk is frequently janky, beautiful, repetitive and overambitious, but Night City is a work of art and I have to give credit to the developers for their acheivements. Sorry to hear about your sister. Keep up the good work.

I have over 800 hours in this game, multiple builds for each of the storylines. I don't think I could have said it better myself. It's a great game with a lot of fundamental issues. Still super enjoyable if you are a Cyberpunk fan. I lost my sister to suicide a few years ago, I know how it disrupts a person's life. It never quite goes away either.

sorry to hear about your sister, hope you're doing okay.

Remember it's to talk about grief. My mom died when I was 21. I was deployed 2 months later on an open deployment. I didn't handle it well because if you seek counseling in the military you are on the "do not arm list." Focus on the good times you had together. Appreciate the time you have with the ones you love. Celebrate life.

Hope it's okay to say this considering the heartbreaking intro of the video but I started laughing my ass off when you started listing the bugs near the end. The deadpan way you delivered those lines was incredible. I always enjoy your videos very much and hope that you enjoy making them, despite the hardships in life. I wish you and your family all the best.

The Peralez quests are amazing, i felt so powerless to help them and i really felt for Jefferson. On the first time, i thought that his wife was behind it all, but the ending was so sad, maybe even more so with how determined Jeff was to fight back.

The point of no return really felt like it came way too quickly. Even when I did most sidequests.

Sorry to hear about your sister, it must be tough going through that and the fact that you continue to make content despite all thats going on is pretty inspiring. Hope you are doing ok.

I'm so sorry to hear about your sister, I'm impressed that you actually came back to to it so quickly. This was such a great video thank you.

so sorry for your loss... Thanks for taking the time to make such a well done retrospective/review on the game. You voiced so many of the issues I've had. I keep picking up the game, playing it for a 5hrs and then moving on to something else only to come back to it a month later. I want to love it. The world, the aesthetic, its like one of my dream games and its just frustrating that it came out the way it did. Some of these issues just cant be resolved through patches. It's the fundamentals of the game design itself and thats disappointing... Heres to hoping they learn from their mistakes and make a better sequel

Her soul may rest in peace brother🖤

Really refreshing review with a surprisingly objective assessment of the current Cyberpunk 2077 situation. There was almost no discernible bias, no unnecessary embellishment or unwarranted downtalking. Hope to see more coverage on Cyberpunk 2077 in June with the next update and Phantom Liberty!

the fact that this is your first attempt at a review like this just makes it even more impressive. fantastic video, i really enjoyed it and ill definitely be watching out for more of your content in the future

This was maybe the best cyberpunk review imo. You gave a fair and balanced take and your commentary during the bug reel at the end made me laugh a couple times. Also you addressed the narrative problems of the game well, which i personally think were very important but a lot of the videos ive seen either missed or glossed over them.

To be fair, if you score three headshots with the crossbow on a Drowner you deserve a reward.

Love your channel/content bud 🤙 My condolences as well.

I am sorry to hear about your sister's passing. I hope you and your family are as okay as one can be. I know that this flies in the face of this video but I would absolutely watch any Cyberpunk content you put on the channel. I would happily see you dive into CP in the same in depth way you have with the Witcher: best quests, what would V(based on backstory) do, highlights et cetera. All the best,

First my condolences, losing someone is hard and happens far too often. May she rest in peace. Second I never saw a single trailer or the teasers before launch. I was informed the week of and bought the game on a whim. It’s my single favorite story based game I’ve ever played. I played the Witcher 3 later on but even then I never felt that same feeling of wonder that night City gave me. It was almost like the flaws made the game feel more humanized and such I cared about it more. (Long winded way to say coping hard)

This wasn't a mess at all and you had me laughing out loud several times! Keep up the good work! 😊 Also, may your sister rest in peace ... and your pain turn from anguish to serenity and loving memories in your heart!

I'm so sorry about your sister.

my condolences for your sister. my own brother was lost by murder last christmas and i can't say i can even articulate how the loss has wreaked havoc on my life. I wouldn't wish this pain on anyone, and i'm impressed you pushed through this review while still trying to heal.

I lost my sister in 2014 so I feel the pain of your tragedy. My condolences to you and your family. Love your content.

I liked this video. There was a natural flow between each section and the sections individually were very coherent. It also helps that you have a nice voice so keep it up. :D

As someone who's been holding off buying this, this was exactly what i was looking for. Thanks for being one of very few people who actually address immersion and the ai

First of all, my condolences. I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you're coping well. This was such a refreshing review! It felt so honest and I thank you for your hard work in making such great content. I've myself shelved Cyberpunk for a while, hoping the bugs will be resolved before playing the game and I still haven't picked it back up. Maybe this is the kick in the pants I needed :)

I'm a dude who just binge watches reviews for things I've already played/watched and out of the probably 10 reviews I've seen on Cyberpunk, this is by far the most honest, and in-depth review I've seen. Instantly Subscribed! Keep it up my man!

The video overall was very well thought out, and presented coherently. I would definitely love to see more of this type of content from you. BTW: The bike seeking a future free from NC had me rolling!

may her soul rest in peace ❤ I hope you will make more videos about cyberpunk i love this game

Honestly I think one of my biggest problems with cyber punk is the way the story begins. You start off w an intro mission and then get shown a clips of your character and Jackie going around and completing jobs. It’s only after this that you get to start playing. I really don’t understand why they would make the most fun part of the game unplayable. It makes no sense. I 100% expected to come to night city and learn the ways of the people there, but all we got was an intro clip and a car. To add onto this, why does V not have any upgrades after all that time working with Jackie? It’s not like it’s a new technology…. Did Jackie never show V about upgrades until later on??? It’s very confusing that our character is apparently now familiar with the city, but we as a player still have no idea wtf is going on. When you play a game that is heavily story driven and played from your character perspective, I feel like I should be thinking the same things as my character. That intro video was so immersion breaking and disappointing. I remember first watching that cutscene and I just sat there dumbfounded. Like “why am I not playing, experiencing this with my character?” It’s one of the main reasons I can’t play the game. I feel like being able to play the very beginning of our journey in night city would be much better than delivering a guy with a faulty Dick implant (yes that’s a real mission)

I’m sorry for your loss. Hope everything has somehow gotten better.

I hope you're doing okay, and you're able to enjoy good memories of your sister. We're always happy to see your content, whenever and on whatever you decide to make it.

I love people with honest opinions and who aren’t afraid to share them - this is the best review I’ve seen of this game, I look forward to some point down the line when I feel this game is worth investing in and really value the obvious amount of heartfelt hard work that went into this; I was literally stunned by what you said at the beginning and I still don’t know how to express myself about it so all I can say is thank you for the video and best wishes ❤

im so sorry man i just hope u had the best memories with her, stay safe

Prayers Up for you and your family 🙏🏾

First of all my condolences. Second, I really think CP2077 has some of the best written and most believable characters in any game. The gameplay is fun but I would trade like 50% of the gigs and lots of the scanner hustles for a few more missions with Jackie, Dexter, Judy, Panam, Kerry, Johnny etc.

I appreciate all your input and critique of this game and am very sorry to hear of your loss. I've never had a direct loved one pass away so I can't say I know what that feels like but I'm happy to see how successful your passion for The Witcher and your hard work has made your channel, and I'm sure she would be as well.

Great video. Pointed out somethings which I hadn't noticed. And also sorry for your loss

Great video! Very sorry to hear about your sister. 😢

My condolences, losing someone is never easy.

This has easily been the best cyberpunk 2077 video i've watched. You really should make these kinds of videos more you have TALENT!!

My heart goes out to you. I lost my brother 9 years ago, one thing i learned over time, the hurt is what helps remember him. Never forget her.

All the condolences in the world man. Though it threw your life off track for a while (as is expected), I'm glad to see you've still been making strides in your content and your life. All the love to you and your family, be good to yourself.

Fantastic and fair coverage/review of the entire Cyberpunk fiasco, well done man. I'd love to see more Cyberpunk related content

This was a really solid and honest cover of the revamped game! You said exactly how I felt after I played. Also keep up the Witcher content, I currently think you are the best at doing Witcher coverage. Sorry about your loss man, hope all is good.

I’m sorry to hear about your loss I’m a new subber and a little late here but still i hope you’ve been doing good in yourself it’s not easy losing people you love

So sorry to hear about you sister. You have my thoughts and prayers

To the point of Cyberpunk's main quest putting the player on a tight schedule and immersion breaking as you take your time with the side content, I really felt that when playing the game as well. Contrast that to the Witcher III where Geralt searching every inch of the world makes perfect sense as his main objective is to find Ciri who could be anywhere. I've always thought that the found the golden goose in making the main quest of an open world game "search the entire world". Another thing that bothered me a ton while playing cyberpunk was how you get to customize your character in any physical manner imaginable, even choose their backstory, but the game still forces V's personality/morality on the player. When walking around the map, I would often feel the only way to not commit at least quadrouple homicide at every street corner was to purposefully avoid engaging in the games marked content, in other words to not play the game. I wish I would have had the freedom to not play an almost indiscriminantly killing V given the game pretends to put the character of V in the players hands. It also doesn't seem right that there are seemingly no repercussions for killing anywhere from 30 to 70 gang members in a given in game day, but I guess the underworld bosses just can't be bothered.

Im sorry about your sister may she rest in peace

So sorry for your lost. My condolences.

I’m sorry for your loss. I hope you’re doing okay.

very true, i completely agree with your criticisms and praises. The games redemption has been exaggerated a lot and still has issues. I was kinda hoping for another update that would get me to replay it again. (also trophies are glitched so i cant 100%)

Love this post. I waited to play this after the initial reviews were so bad. I picked this up on ps5 a couple months ago and am finding the game/world to be extremely enjoyable.

Sorry about your sister. That really shocked me in the video. May she rest in peace.

Hey Neon Knight. I am really sorry about your sister's passing. Thanks for sharing this and this video with us.

instead of three weeks they should have given V either a year or 6 months. That would have solved alot of issues with the pacing and immersion. Lmao it's not that immersive where I only have three weeks to live but I decide to go racing with Claire or eat with River and his family like everything is fine. And they should have made a few side quests be main quests like the Rogue ones and maybe even Kerry's ones. Basically every side quest related to Johnny should have been in the main quest. If you choose to ignore the side quests you literally finish the game in a couple of hours which is so stupid. I dont agree with the small side missions though, I think that having them in the map made more sense because sometimes I dont really wanna explore for hours to find these small quests or have to search on the internet to find them so while I agree that it sometimes make these small interactions less memorable its much better than not coming across them at all in your game just because you didnt visit this random store. I do agree with most points in your video though. The way Witcher 3 made the contracts was much better than the way CP did the gigs even though they werent that terrible. My condolences to your sister aswell.

Cyberpunk is one of my favorite games, I just wish we had more time to spend with Jackie.

im sorry for your loss, much love from Sweden

Just finished my first play-through, took me a bit to get into it, I agree with pretty much all you said, I finished dealing with Takemura on a quest and had him call me like 5 seconds later from across town. wtf? I had fewer visual bugs than you did. Only drove bikes because they handled halfway decent, cars were a gong-show. People in the city were boring, cops were dumb. Overall though once I got sucked in, I got sucked in.

Personally, I'm glad you mentioned the fact that it failed to keep its promises, including the lack of meaningful choices (at least to the extent we were meant to have them). Few reviewers, mostly the ones who are either positive or mixed, ever acknowledge that. I hope you're doing well after the loss of your sister, by the way. I'm a latecomer here but, still, you have my condolances.

Thank you! Finally someone pointed this out, the time sensitive things broke the immersion for me as well.

I played cp2077 at launch and to date, it has left a bad taste in my mouth. Plus, there are a number of things promised pre-launch that never transpired. I do enjoy it, but it's nowhere near Witcher 3 level.

My sincere condolences, a late farewell to your sister. "I read all of them because I can't help myself..." I must be afflicted too. It also explains the ridiculous amount of lore knowledge I amass in only a few days while others blast through the story completely oblivious for whatever is going on.

Excellent points, solid re-review

hey man, sorry about your sister, keep it up i love your videos!

I too abandonned Night City shortly after the game released, later in the story tho. I also fully agree with your statement on the supposed "redemption ark". Hell no. They fixed some technical issues. Cool. FFXIV and No Man´s Sky, those game had redemption arks. Not this one, not in the slightest. However.. when I played through Cyberpunk last year with a bit different mindset, I actually had really good time. It was not the game we were promised, not at all but starting the game knowing that I am not playing the game I was waiting for, for 10 years, it allowed me to immerse myself into V much more. And in the end it actually gave me that satysfying, emotional conclusion that I hoped for. Combining Judy romance and Aldecaldos ending was.. bittersweet.

I haven't played the game yet but I was looking forward to it. The issues you bring up about the narrative would likely really bother me. Is there any chance you think they might address it in the Phantom Liberty update? Apparently it's making some significant changes to the game as a whole.

Im so Sorry about that man, I hope your doing alright.

Really awesome review! Love the content, please keep making more ❤ My sincere condolences. Hope you're doing well

This and Dying Light 2's point of no return were shocks to me. Both games felt like I would be about halfway through at most yet the end was right there. Felt like they should have had an extra 10-20 hours of story and even more side gameplay

Ah man, it's heartbreaking to hear that, hope you're doing better as time goes on mate, I'm glad you've got such a supportive community behind you as well

I am so sorry to hear such terrible news. May she rest in peace. (Love your content. No matter the troubles that come in the way, stay positive.) ❤❤❤

Sorry for your loss. God Bless your family.

Quite a fair review. I didn't play the game at release so i missed most of the most hilarious bugs but a year ago i had my share. I'm very forgiving in this matter, it doesn't break my immersion that much (well... one did), but the game still lacks soooooooooo many things we were promised. This will never be fixed, obviously and just because of all those missing aspects of the game i am and always will be upset about CP77. In a manner of speaking. * The bug that pissed me off - remember the side quest when you, ehm.. crucify the guy? Game forget to render a hammer for me which made me really mad at the time:)

Very good video. I appreciate and agree with most of your analysis of the vanilla game here. I never played it much tbh, bc like I do with most games, I quickly saw the things I didn't like and modded them. There's a limit ofc but between scissors, djkovric, rmk, e3rok, and many others, most of the issues you have with gameplay at least are made much better through mods. Game Time Tweaks for 1:1 timescale fixes the ticking clock aspect. Scissors Difficulty Options and Vehicle Combat mods make enemies and combat much more interesting. Daemon Netrunning, Better Netrunning, and No Scanner Time Dilation can make hacking builds much more challenging and fun. There are even some options to improve and expand romances with Judy, Panam, etc. that really add depth to that aspect. IMHO modding is such standard practice these days that it's silly to ignore it, especially when it's intended and supported by the game devs.

Sorry to hear about your sister brother. As a big brother losing my little sister is one of my biggest fears.

Im so sorry to hear about your sister. Thats heart breaking

Excuse my poor english but damn, that line about your sister in the intro hit me like a fucking truck. May she rest in peace.

You absolutely nailed this review. Especially the comparison to The Witcher’s amazing side quests. Great job brother. Really hope to see more videos from you.

My condolences mate... Keep up your great work ⭐

great vid always love seeing your content

I'm hopeful that the "reboot" that's coming with the Phantom Liberty expansion really brings the game at least considerably closer to that CDPR initially promised.

You're gonna have to attempt on replaying Cyberpunk again after Phantom Liberty releases, according to the ones that played the demo during the tour CDPR did - Cyberpunk 1.63 and Cyberpunk 2.0 are two completely different games.

Sums it up perfectly great video

Sorry for your loss brother I wish you peace ❤👊

Our condolences! Thank you for the video!

How do you play a game for hundreds of hours and not know if it's won you over or not. What the actual fuck.

Am sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace

Sorry for your loss, man. That sucks!!! Hope you're coping well.

I still love cyberpunk but your made some great points I hope they fix the issues your brought up in a 2nd game or any future game they make

This video is great and IS a good analysis.

Sorry for your loss brother. Great content as usual

Nearly spit my coffee out when you describe the floating motorcycle. No joke. "To find a new life!"

You've earned yourself a subscriber. This was a very well-put-together video, and as someone who loves the game and the world, and might even have it as one of my favorites at this point in time, I'd say you put words to the same feelings I have towards the game in a really great way, isolated from the current exaggerated takes from both sides of praise and criticism.

Excellent review. Very reasonable and unbiased. I fully agree on most of your points, and I'm happy to point out that several of the problems you mentioned will get fixed by CDPR. Not just police and vehicle, but there's gonna be things like a new melee system, more world interactivity, enemy netrunners, etc. I love Cyberpunk much for the same reasons as you, but also because I recognize the incredible potential this game has. Whether it lives up to that potential with Patch 1.7 and Phantom Liberty remains to be seen.

Sorry about your sister. Big hugs from Spain my friend ♥

Rest in peace Ms Knight I hope everything is well!

I love the comparison of gigs and the witcher 3 contracts, it makes me really want to try witcher 3 since CDPR really won me over with the world of cyberpunk but I struggle with the fantasy setting. Liked your analysis a lot and its pretty in line with how I feel about the game.

Must’ve been a brilliantly put together non biased half hour video if I of all people enjoyed and absorbed the whole thing, I don’t think you’ve said a single thing that I disagree with so very well done sir! I’m sorry for the loss of your sister I couldn’t imagine how hard that must be.. but I’m sure she wouldn’t want you to be hung up on it for too long, I think our lost loved ones would tell us to keep on living for them if they could 😊
