As a PS5 player, all I can say is that it’s a real shame that gems like this—dating back to 2015—are becoming so rare. We don't see games like this anymore. :( ​This title is an absolute must-play, and not just for its gripping survival horror atmosphere. The experience of escaping through such an immersive and haunting world is incredible, and I personally fell in love with the environments! ♡ ​It took me about 15 hours to complete it. If you play it properly, taking your time and soaking in the magnitude of the setting without rushing, 15 hours is the perfect sweet spot! ​This is officially in my Top 10 favorite survival horror games of all time ♡. It’s fascinating how the gameplay explores themes like deep loneliness and the very meaning of human existence. ​This game deserves a sequel, a franchise, or even a TV series. It’s that deep.

For me, the overall rating would be 7.5! I appreciated how Konami certainly wanted to experiment with Silent Hill in Japan. I disagree with those who make pointless and obvious arguments saying it's not comparable to the old French titles, because it's obvious that it will never be like that. However, it can't be denied that the gameplay is quite fragile due to its combat system, but you have to appreciate the Japanese setting! in this dreamlike city... only negative cons... - longevity - not allowing entry into houses... or rather buildings, would have had more fascinating stages... - more exploration... in the town... - lack of character development Positive Pros: - stunning graphics - beautifully written lore - such fascinating settings an almost successful experiment... realistically, but one that I appreciated!

I really wanted to give a very positive review, as this Cyberpunk DLC truly deserves, not only for the gameplay itself! This DLC evoked such intense emotions in me, not to mention the new Downtown area with excellent villain writing and fascinating secondary characters with compelling moral depth. It saddens me that CD PROJEKT received so much hate years ago — I can understand criticism, but not hate. With this DLC, I can confirm that this game studio not only managed to restore the morale of Cyberpunk, boosting sales, but also showed that the series could have a promising continuation in the future! Many applause and a hug to CD PROJEKT. Personally, this is not a good period for my mental health, yet Cyberpunk has made me reflect deeply recently. If the series continues in the future, it truly deserves awards or GOTY recognition. Beyond the intense emotions and the fascinating choices that influence the gameplay, both the main quest and side quests are excellently crafted. From a gameplay perspective, the stealth mechanics are very interesting and enjoyable, the combat system and the skill trees (including cyberware upgrades) are full of interesting builds. The main quest is well-written, and the characters are memorable. The side quests are also very diverse — Cyberpunk manages to avoid monotony, offering new discoveries and surprises in each playthrough. In conclusion, this game and this studio deserve a chance.

I never thought I’d write such an emotional review, but this game genuinely made me cry and feel deeply. I haven’t finished it yet, but the choices, character interactions, writing, the protagonist, and the rich themes—especially Night City itself—hit me in a way no game has in years. I struggle with depression, loneliness, and anxiety, and I’m 21 years old. Video games have always been my refuge, and it’s been a long time since I found one that resonates with me this strongly. I feel deeply represented by the game, its characters, and the themes it explores. This game gives me the strength to smile and brings me hope, despite what I’m going through. It’s already in my top 5 favorites. To anyone reading this: it’s more than a game—it’s saving my life. Give it a chance, despite the initial criticism… DO IT. ♡ When Chapter 2 releases, I know it will bring me immense joy. CD PROJEKT RED, you deserve massive applause. You’ve earned my complete trust and admiration. <3

I am deeply disappointed by this game. One of the reasons I bought the PlayStation 5 was because I had been waiting for a long time, with great hype, to play and get my hands on this title! Being a huge fan of Skyrim and Fallout by Bethesda, I had high expectations, but nothing worked out. I felt forced to uninstall the game and stop playing. Unfortunately, some people have experienced many issues on PC, including crashes during gameplay, which also happened to me. Not to make parallels, but even Fallout: New Vegas on Xbox 360 never crashed this many times. And I am finding myself much better now. This was a huge problem for me, a negative experience that led me to uninstall the game for the second time, after giving it too many chances. Unfortunately, I must admit that spending 60 euros on a truly disappointing game was a mistake… something I had already experienced back in 2018 with Fallout 76, which I bought on day one. But the worst thing about this game and the company Bethesda is that they are a studio with so much potential—a potential that in the past has been fully realized with games like Fallout 4, New Vegas, Fallout 3, and Skyrim. I am a big fan of Fallout and I respect Bethesda because the Fallout series has always helped me emotionally and remains one of my favorite game franchises. Recently, to forgive them a bit, I started playing Fallout: New Vegas, a game I had never played before, and I am fortunate to be playing it now—I am finding it legendary! I am happy for Bethesda because now, thanks to the TV series, they have recovered after a long period of decline following Fallout 76, which caused a scandal. I still haven’t forgotten it, when expectations were high but the release went very badly—not because of the money, even though someone works for that, but because it hurts to disappoint dedicated fans like me… I have always been deeply attached to the Fallout franchise, which has always moved me and accompanied me through tough times. Regarding Oblivion Remastered, speaking of this saga, I must say I played a lot of Skyrim—about 200 hours—and it is my favorite game. Oblivion, released in 2006, remains a masterpiece, and I don’t doubt it, but it is painful for longtime fans to see how the game has become today, forcing one to give it such a low rating. It’s never pleasant, but I hope it will be truly understandable. Talking about gameplay issues: The bugs are extremely annoying. Combat is clunky and stiff. The setting is beautiful, as is the game world and the graphics engine, but why include so few enemies? The game should be vast and full of action, especially in terms of enemies. The AI and NPC patterns are very poorly designed; guards chase you everywhere, even when you are hidden. There is no way to escape. The worst issue: some quests require you to hand over items you already own, but the game won’t let you. A critical flaw that prevents progression. In conclusion, it is a disappointing game that leaves a bitter aftertaste, as the abilities and builds seemed so revolutionary for a medieval-style RPG… but that is not enough if the basics are missing. Bethesda can only recover with the next Skyrim and the remasters of Fallout 3 and New Vegas. My constructive feedback is to try to make everything better because after Fallout 76 and Oblivion Remastered, they were a flop. The TV series is saving Fallout and Bethesda. It’s time to make Bethesda shine, and I want this for them. This is not just a harsh critique but also a motivation to believe that things can be done better. I believe in you!
