The game came out and millions of people on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC have gotten so many glitches, bugs, game crashes and even the game running at 15 frames per second. The game showed it wasn’t close to ready as many players demanded refunds which everyone was granted till December 21. the game was so bad that PlayStation took the game off their PlayStation Store which hurt CD Projekt Red.

I was one of the people who pre-ordered the game and played it on a PS4 Pro, and spent over 100 hours on the game, in my experience I had more than 20 bugs and and 5 game crashes throughout the whole game. In the start the game they let you create your character named V customizing everywhere of his or her body literally. Then you get to choose a three life paths a nomad who you live outside of the huge city making you know little about it, street kid who you lived in the city all of your life and knows the city very well, and finally corpo who you always worked as a greedy corporate worker which your know how to negotiate for your benefits. Now all three have different unique intros showing the world of Cyberpunk 2077, the game remains the same the all for lifepaths expect with only one or two different side quests and different dialogue choices. Now before the game came out Cd Projekt Red said that every choice you make with always have consequences to the world this later was false as more than 98% of all dialogue choices have no effect whatsoever.

But how’s the world of the future, it feels pretty empty. The world looks beautiful with the futuristic looks and tons of corporate advertisement some that are wild, but the world is empty the tons of stores that are in the game are closed when it looks like its open, most side quests and gigs most are rinse and repeat. The some side quests that are unique is when the game shines that is if your console or PC and run the game.

The main story was interesting when it work the game was beautiful and immersive, the likable supporting characters that have deep stories themselves if you spend time with them. So the story goes after a robbing gig of a chip that V puts in him or her head. After V’s fixer finds out he kills V but the chip saves V with a cost that in the chip you meet Johnny Silverhand who is played by Keanu Reeves, a terrorist who nuked a whole corporation, his soul is trapped in the in chip and tries to take over your body killing you. The whole game is V finding a way to take off the chip without dying.

The story is well voiced acted and a interesting story that can get you hooked, but as of right now the game is not ready to be played its badly broken, most of players are going to play this with the past generation of consoles which barley run the game. I recommend to everyone to wait for this game to get fixed from frame rates to game crashes, but if these problems didn’t exists the side quests and gigs should be reworked to not being copy and paste. Its a 4/10 of the broken futuristic game it tried too much it can handle.

Campaign

This game finally brings campaign back than its last game Call of Duty Black Ops 4, but this time it brings back old fan favorite characters from the original Black Ops game. Taking place in 1981, it introduces new characters along the way. For the first time the campaign allows you to create your character and what type of abilities you can have, from being a CIA agent to being a spy. The twist with this campaign, compared to others, is they allow to you to choose whether or not you would want to decode items to a floppy disk to find spies that lurk in the country. This is not easy and gave a challenge to the player on doing CIA decoding. The missions are incredible without spoilers Treyarch brings back story choices from Black Ops 2 which gives off three endings in which all give a shocking twist. This campaign is up there with the old classic Call of Duty campaigns.

Multiplayer

Now with this mode this might be loved by old veterans to the series but not so much for new comers. When I mean that is that Treyarch took the multiplayer to its old form of way to fight in the varieties of modes. The gunsmith is back from Modern Warfare (2019) and is given so many attachments to make your guns better. The new modes that this game gives are VIP Escort where you have to escort one player to escape to a chopper, Dirty Bomb where you have to place toxic gas bombs to win, and Combine Arms a 12 v 12 fight. As of right now there are only 12 maps. The sad thing about it is that most of them are way too big for a normal team deathmatch and some of the maps are too good for campers to enjoy the game. As of right now the multiplayer needs content for players to come back as Modern Warfare (2019) did with their modes. This game will get additional content for free good for players but as it stands but for now I would recommend this for all veterans of the series.

Zombies

With a new story and a new refresh map mixing it with the first ever zombie map from Black Ops “Nacht der Untoten” the new map is called Die Maschine. This time the zombies mode doesn’t bring back the old four favorite characters from the past 4 Black Ops games. This time you choose your operator and just follow the story, where you go to a abandon Nazi Lab which the Soviets tried to start again where they ended but failed and caused dimentations and the undead to rise. Now the map is a little complex with the main attraction being the original “Nacht der Untoten” map inside this one, the wonder weapon in this map is really cool and in which you can upgrade while doing the easter egg. As of right now with only one map, this mode needs multiple as the nostalgia hits hard with returning gun the Raygun, but its a solid map fun with friends of long lasting rounds of zombies.

Conclusion

With all the modes available to PlayStation and Xbox players, the game is very good to both generation of consoles. The hold back is the for the new consoles the game is $70 dollars and it’s only to play on the new generation of consoles, faster loading time and slightly graphic improvement. I say it’s unnecessary because I played this on the PlayStation 4 and it was as good as if you were playing on the PlayStation 5 but of course with those benefits. So I give is game with all it has right now an 8/10. It has great campaign, an old-school multiplayer, and new fresh zombies mode.
