We all know famous quote “Wake the f*** up samurai, we have a city to burn” or the term of describing something as “breathtaking”. Both of them were said by Keanu Reeves and there is no doubts that marketing strategy for Cyberpunk 2077 was excellent (8 million preorders were sold). However, the game by itself didn’t fulfil players expectations.
An exorbitant number of mistakes completely overwhelm Cyberpunk 2077. Flying cars, immortal opponents or unopenable doors are only a few bugs in the ocean pool of problems. Especially console players took a knock, poor optimalization for PS4 and Xbox One resulted removing game from PS Store and Microsoft Store. While programmers of CD Project RED are working in the sweat of the brow, a board of directors has decided to take a floor. On 13th of January 2021 Marcin Iwiński – a co-founder of CD Project released a video on official YouTube profile of Cyberpunk 2077 in which he apologize on behalf of the company for the flawed product. As a source of problems he points a poor communication between board members. Moreover, Iwiński calls fans to stop blaming workers for the final stage of product. In the video he releases a roadmap with a patching priorities for 2021 and promises to fix all bugs. From the roadmap we can read that the first patch is coming soon and at midyear we can expect DLC which is supposed to be free as a compensation.
Personally I haven’t played Cyberpunk 2077 yet but I truly believe that it is a wonderful production which has huge potential. I’m a big fan of The Witcher 3 (spend 160h in the game) and I pin one’s faith on the new production of CD Project RED and really wait for the first good opinions about patches.

I have bought the game on last gen console (PS4) and it was not playable due to really low FPS. Hopefully, CD Projekt Red will fix this problem soon. Despite that problem, the game is amazing!
