While for some Cyberpunk 2077 has been somewhat disappointing due to bugs and it failing to meet their overblown expectations, I personally have greatly enjoyed the game. I personally have not encountered any game-breaking bugs, or many annoying bugs, only the occasional expected visual bug, and the game met my expectations because I didn't jump on the hype train. It was never going to be a out of this world, revolutionary ground-breaking game, but it is a solid and very enjoyable Action RPG. There's a few gripes here and there; I don't like the double tap to evade, as that can ruin stealth, and I'm not a fan of the old habit of making high difficulty enemies that don't scale to the player's level based on location, but most other things in this game are good. Weapons handling is stellar, vehicles sound and feel weighty, clothing selection is massive, there's a ton of different mechanics in this game that all fit in nicely and make for varied and interesting gameplay. Story is compelling. I could go on. Suffice to say, if you go into this game with reasonable, moderate expectations, you will not be disappointed and find it to be a good, compelling Action RPG that it is easy to sink many many hours into.

Good and bad in bullet points:
Good:
-Weapons handling and variety
-Vehicles sound and feel amazing
-Variety of Skills in skill trees for decent character building
-Night City is eye catching, big, and detailed
-Graphical fidelity is stellar
-Artistic direction is on point
-Variety of interesting game mechanics to keep you interested
-Story and side missions are compelling and interesting
-Massive clothing selection
-Large selection of augments that make for a variety of ways to tackle situations
Bad:
-Owned Vehicles can not be customised at all, not even the paint jobs.
-Double tap to evade can ruin stealth
-High level enemies do not scale to player level making certain missions arbitrarily locked off until later (unless you have a lot of patience for bullet/knife sponges, and a lot of ammo)
-Limited selection of purchasable vehicles (can't own military, police or other special vehicles)
