Cyberpunk 2077

The game Witcher 3 in 2015 put the CDPR team on the map of the big names in game development, achieving great artistic and commercial success and creating a fan base for the development team that was eagerly awaiting their next project. This project was announced in early 2012, but the actual development process only began in 2016. The name of the project is Cyberpunk 2077, an RPG game set in a future world full of crazy technologies and exciting events. As the True Gaming team we have experienced the game several times, especially at the E3 trade fair where it was shown to us behind closed doors, and now, after all the waiting, it is in our hands and we have spent the last few days Try it out, live it out and experience its special moments. In this review we will give you the final verdict on the level of the game and whether it was really what the fans of the great development team expected.

Cross-generational

Let’s face it, this is a cross-generational game, but what does that mean? What you will see in the game may not belong to our current generation, but perhaps to a future generation, as if it were a game literally brought by someone from the future. Night City is the greatest city ever designed for the game. Seeing the city for the first time after controlling the character reminded me of seeing the world of Zelda’s Breath of the Wild for the first time at the start of the game, the same iconic moments of wow. Whether you look at it from an artistic and technical perspective or from a gameplay and stage design perspective. I have never seen a city or game world full of life. I was in the game as if I was visiting a real city. I wanted to go everywhere and see everything with my own eyes, sometimes at night and sometimes during the day. It’s just incredible. Everything in the game world is unique, as if it were individually designed by another developer, with amazing attention to detail, even in places that cannot be interacted with.

The game uses various graphic techniques to give us an imaginative perspective. You will find precise textures and wonderful use of effects such as smoke, sparks and others. Perhaps what sets the game apart the most is the ray tracing technology and the way the reflections add a realistic touch to all of the city’s landmarks. This is undoubtedly the most beautiful view of a game we’ve ever seen. We tested the game on a PC with an RTX 3090 card, which is considered the most powerful graphics card on the market, and thankfully we got 60 frames luckily on DLSS technology. We don’t know how the game will look on console devices, but this game now sets new standards for gaming graphics. We think players will ask the famous question, “Can your device run Crysis?”, but now the question will be about Cyberpunk for years to come.

What kind of guys they are

During the game, and of course it is an RPG game, you will meet and interact with many characters and you will make the decision about what to do and how to act. The game’s characters are very competent to say the least, be it in terms of design and writing or in terms of voice acting and acting. It’s absolutely amazing, this is one of the highest levels of craftsmanship you will ever see in this area. And I’m not talking about the main characters of the game who will be part of the story, but even the secondary characters who were designed to serve a simple purpose in a side mission and even these were wonderfully designed and have excellent voice acting. Just as the game world enticed us to explore it, the game characters also enticed us to get to know each and every one of them and learn everything about them. In general, the story of the game is wonderful and exciting and contains many touching moments, whether sad or happy, laughing or crying.

Your fate is in your hands

From the very beginning of the game you have the opportunity to choose from three options the background of your character’s story and how he grew up. Then go on an adventure to explore the game world and surely make some important decisions that will affect the course of the story. As we played, we were able to complete the game in just over 30 hours and play a large number of side missions, although there were still many left and we did not discover any others. It’s definitely a huge game, especially considering we haven’t discovered the other available story paths and endings yet.

During the game, you can stroll around a huge city similar to the GTA game, and there is a lot to do in the city including visiting shops, completing missions, and participating in various activities. There are many cars and vehicles to buy and use. The main missions are presented to you on the map and in the menus, and you are constantly given side missions, some of which are small and quick, but others of which are lengthy and have a story of their own. We are happy to report that the missions were extremely entertaining and varied, whether main or side missions, and even though we finished the game, we are just thinking about giving it another go and trying everything we can missed it, no matter how small it was.

If you have played Deus Ex or perhaps Watch Dogs before, you will find many familiar things here, from hacking security cameras to various spying methods. I personally preferred this route as it is more difficult and requires more thought. But of course, in some situations the game forced me to turn to combat, and in this regard the game offers the usual shooting experience. There is also the option to fight by hand or with hand weapons and it is designed very simply, allowing you to block and dodge as well as deliver a light or strong blow. Here you will find a fitness index that plays a role in determining the number of strikes you can perform manually.

The game offers a wide variety in completing missions. There are car chases and mobile shootouts, there is espionage to steal data, and some missions also require rescuing a hostage. There are conditions and optional goals from time to time if you want to work on them. Those who love multiple ways in completing missions will enjoy the game a lot as it gives you multiple ways to deal with situations such as: B. the choice of entering through the main door like Rambo, or finding a way to the back door, or perhaps even jumping off the roof through a small opening.

The effort put into the game will amaze you every time you look at it. As we have seen from the design of the missions, the game world and its characters, you will notice this when you enter the game’s menus, where there are multiple development trees and customization options for the different things you do. In the end you are half human and half machine. Just like the clothes you wear, like in other RPG games, the artificial organs and programs you store in your body also have an impact on you. The development tree options will be important to you as you play, some conversation options require a certain level in a certain tree, and some doors or computers require a certain level to hack or open. It’s up to you. If you choose the path of combat, you can gain very important skills that will make you a superman.

Technical problems

Unfortunately, in games of this size we are very used to finding technical errors, or bugs, as they say, and in some of them, despite long attempts to make changes, the team is not able to fix them all, and that is understandable. However, what we cannot ignore are technical errors that affect gameplay and we found them in this game and encountered them several times. But the development team promised us that an update or patch would be released on release day that should resolve many of these issues. Unfortunately, we waited for this update to give the final opinion, but we found that it only solved some problems and left others, and today we still see a man walking through the air, sitting on a hidden chair or penetrates a wall. and a few other problems here and there. The game needs at least several months of repairs to make it look more polished and free of most bugs, which is really unfortunate.

Middle East version

Before we conclude, we would like to talk about an important matter in the game that affects the Middle East version. The development team has thankfully provided an option to block nudity in the game in all international versions, and this option will be mandatory in the Middle East version, which will not contain nudity. There is also an Arabicization of all game text, whether menus or conversations. The game uses one of the most beautiful Arabic fonts we’ve seen in games, and fortunately most of them are written right to left. As for the level of translation, most of them are well implemented, although in some situations that we are used to there is a literal translation that does not reflect the most accurate meaning.

New metrics

Finally, all I can say to the development team is that you are tired of being followed. Night City is an unprecedented city and it is highly unlikely that we will see something like this for long. An amazing technical achievement in every sense of the word, Cyberpunk proves that CDPR has reached heights we could not have imagined, surpassing anything they have ever achieved in the Witcher series. We haven’t seen a game in a long time that uses the PC as its main platform and pushes the boundaries of what’s possible. It is a game designed for graphics tools that are not yet available but will be released in the future.

Do yourself a favor and immerse yourself in the world of Cyberpunk 2077 as quickly as possible. Here you will embark on a journey into the future to see things you have never seen before and experience amazing experiences, stories and unforgettable moments created by CDPR like never before.
