Poll: How Would You Rate Cyberpunk 2077, 5 Years Later?

Incredible for me one of my favorite games ever made thats how highly I rate it i still prefer the witcher 3 but cyberpunk is incredible i know when a game is beyond amazing it becomes an experience more than a game

I played originally on the PS4 Pro though I didn’t seem to have as many issues as many others. It was clearly unfinished but by no means unplayable, not unlike my experience with The Witcher 3 at launch. Much like that game, it’s now one of the best experiences on PS5.

I bought the game at launch mostly because I really wanted the steelbook that Best Buy was giving away with the game. Saw the reviews and let it collect dust until 2.0.

And now I've played through it twice with varying builds and will probably play it a 3rd time soon. Wonderful game.

Once the PS5 Update & DLC came out, it was an easy 10' for me! Really great game.

Jesus, 5 years?! I thought it came out in like 2023

I enjoyed it at first but soon realized there was no point approaching a mission doing anything but going in guns blazing so got a bit bored of it after a while.

The actual setting, characters etc were all great though

A fantastic game that should be a benchmark for first-person open-world RPGs going forward.

I would have loved it much more if it were third-person, but you can't deny the intense attention to detail. It should put BGS and similar devs on notice, but I don't think 2077 is CDPR's best work. For me, nothing has touched Witcher 3.

I think it's morally reprehensible. The fact that CDPR ground their employees to dust just to sell a half baked game and rich rich doing it invalidates any good will I ever had for them. I won't be playing this game, and I won't be playing anything else they make, because unlike them, I have principles.

One of, if not the, best games I’ve ever played. Combination of both the story and the gameplay, which is fun as hell. (I usually play like a melee maniac, katanas & fists)

As somebody who didn't like the witcher I was skeptical at 1st. I tried it and didn't really get into it. Then got a ps5 pro and jumped back in recently. Now one of my favorite games ever. Still don't like the witcher. Let the hate begin 🤣

One of gaming’s great redemption stories! I bought it at launch and enjoyed it despite the jank (I am afterall a Bethesda veteran) but had to give up after hitting a game breaking bug.

I restarted after the 2.0 update, completed it and loved every second. It’s a 10/10 for me but I don’t have any desire to replay through it again.

I only picked the game up from thegamecollection with the DLC for £24 last year and yeah it's a 10/10 from me.

I actually played this on my Xbox (please don't shoot me!) when the game first released, and I was over 100 hours in when I hit a game breaking bug, which meant I stopped playing until earlier this year.

I absolutely loved my time in the game, and my only complete run of the game took something like 200 hours. In some ways, I'm glad I set the game aside when I did because I rarely return to games where I have sunk a 100 or more hours into them simply because there is always something new to play. Thus playing it after the Phantom Liberty expansion released was probably the best thing for me...

Yeah played it originally on the PS4 and enjoyed it even though it was a mess in some ways.
But on PS5 with all updates and Phantom Liberty it's a masterpiece

Witcher 3 holds more weight for me. Maybe as it was the first cdpr game I played. But CP2077 is fantastic! Played after phantom liberty dropped and really enjoyed getting that platinum and 100%. 9/10

I played it for the first time this year on ps5 and enjoyed it. I didn’t think it was a masterpiece or anything, but good story, decent action and really nice graphics.

I’ve played through the game twice now, which is something I rarely do. I played it when it first came out, and tbh I never found the bugs that bad. Then I played through it again when the 2.0 version and Phantom Liberty DLC dropped. I think they created an amazing futuristic open world, one that I still sometimes go back to despite having completed it. I can’t wait for the sequel.

Played it day one and it was a complete disaster. Since then, with numerous updates it’s evolved into one of the greats.

One of the best games I’ve ever played. Literally clapped as Phantom liberty ended. Phenomenal.

I was with Xbox One during the pandemic, I played the game at launch and didn’t have so many bugs except for a few weird ones, almost finished it back then. I played again on the series X, finished it, with Phantom Liberty and played once more on PS5, finished this year, 100%, every gigs, every car, etc. It’s one of my favourite masterpieces, with Elden Ring and a couple old classics from my childhood.

I played on Ps5 after update 2.0. I really enjoyed the combat, it is punchy and powerful feeling. The story/quests are good and well written for the most part. The levelling system was really good, scope to build many different builds. Where it loses points for me is the open world, I felt it was a bit sterile when compared to say RDR2. Maybe I didn't involve myself with exploration enough on Cyberpunk but I never felt compelled to where as on RDR2 the world just begs to be explored and lived in.
Solid 8/10 for me though overall, really enjoyed my two playthroughs.

I really loved Cyberpunk when I played it. I didn't try it until the PS5 version was out though so I didn't go through the rough launch. I remember being so bummed though after hearing how much of a disaster the launch was because I was always interested.

I'm glad CDPR stuck with it though because underneath all the bugs was an absolutely awesome RPG.

Better than launch of course. I played it day 1 and got the refund. It had so many issues and it crashed once every 1-2 hours almost like clockwork. Was also softlocked at the end of the game when the tank got stuck upside down. PL was great and should have been a full game.

Well, it was censored after release to remove nudity, so I’d rate it very badly. Especially as they sold it on the fact they didn’t censor anything. Stopped playing as soon as I found that out, but it was pretty OK the couple of hours I played. Nothing special.

Outstanding game. Great story, extremely immersive and a super fun platinum to boot. Highly recommend now that its optimized. 9/10 closer to a 10 than an 8!

@Ricksta there is nothing wrong with not liking a game , there are tons of games that either people love them or didn't get into them , but thats why we have so many games because there is always something for every one to enjoy. at least if people give a game a shot and think ya this isn't a game for me.

Couldn’t really get into it even after trying twice. Once on base PS5 and then more recently on my Pro. No performance issues, but it just didn’t quite click with me. It has some nice ideas, but I never connected with the characters or world and didn’t care for the gameplay either. 🤷🏻‍♂️

A solid 10. In biased, though.
I've played through the game a whopping 17 times and not once have I played as male V. Cherami Leigh is phenomenal as Valerie.

I have played through Cyberpunk 2077 multiple times; male V, female V, Netrunner, gunslinger, katana-wielding ninja, bare fists… so many ways to play and things to experience. It’s my most played game of 2025 and 2024.

3rd person would put it is the best ever played category.

Played first on PS5, around two years after its disastrous release. Loved it. The first “open world” game since GTA 5 that I just wandered around, soaking in the atmosphere. A stunning sci fi city, and a great game!

I bought a 3070 just before it came out as I was certain my 2070 wouldn’t be good enough for the game. I was very disappointed with it. The open world whilst looking pretty, was just window dressing. NPC’s wandering the streets didn’t add much to it. Recently come back to it with my new GPU (9070 XT) and it runs beautifully but I still think the game is lacking. I would have preferred smaller hubs ala Deus Ex. I’d probably give it an 8/10 maybe? Not as good as The Witcher III but better than the first two.

Was not at all impressed when I tried it years ago (after the PS5 update). I doubt my thoughts will have changed much now, and I don't plan on giving it a try until I can play it at a state comparable to max PC settings (although, I might just say "f*** it" and buy the S2 version if I ever see it on a really good deal).

I always thought Tim Rogers had the most perfect, biting critique of it, though, "Video games are stupid, and Cyberpunk 2077 is a stupid video game."

@4fold What nudity did they censor? I haven't played the game recently, but I'm pretty sure it's still tits galore in Night City.

I know this is a minority opinion, but I think this game is a solid good but not great. It has nothing to do with bugs-it actually ran pretty well on my PS5-there were some crashes and annoying things but nothing game breaking.

I just didn't find the world or the quests that compelling. There were some good quests and story beats, but the game as a whole felt kind of stale and empty to me. I was hoping for a Witcher 3 type experience, with quests and a world that captivated me for weeks and weeks. I thought Cyberpunk was a real step down, even without considering the problematic launch.

I am really glad others enjoyed it more than I did. I also have not played Phantom Liberty, which is supposed to be excellent. And: It is not a bad game by any means. It just left me sort of cold. I am much more excited for Witcher 4 than Cyberpunk 2, let's put it that way.

@RoomWithaMoose What's so "perfect" about that? What exactly makes the game stupid? And what makes videogames stupid?

A lot of people would opine that Rogers' opinions and style of writing is far more stupid.

@4fold That's certainly a choice...

Luckily I waited for the PS5 version, so I never got the bugged experience. For me it was a amazing game. Did all the endings, pending only the DLC, that I will play someday.
