What owners complain about

  • Released unfinished SOME

    Multiple owners note the game was released then developed afterwards; comments say devs should have been given more time or been more realistic with scope from the start

  • CDPR's track record FEW

    One commenter points out this isn't the first time, claiming Witcher 3's release was 'horrendous' as well, suggesting a studio pattern

  • Dark, aggressive tone FEW

    At least one owner found the world 'violent, angry, American' and 'depressing,' questioning what it contributes and calling it 'sad'

  • Corporate overreach irony SOME

    Community members highlight the irony of real-world corporate figures emulating the game's villainous corporations (e.g., Elon Musk compared to Arasaka)

What owners love

  • Graphics and sound quality

    Owners call the graphics and sound 'amazing' and 'very filmic,' with one impressed by how well it runs on GeForce NOW at ultra settings with ray tracing

  • Mac performance surprise

    One user reports the M2 Max runs Cyberpunk 2077 at roughly GTX 1070 performance, calling it 'a decent value-add' even though no one buys Macs for gaming

  • Authentic cyberpunk aesthetic

    Commenters appreciate the visual design, noting it reflects the kernel of the cyberpunk genre where technology's appearance is deliberately deceptive

  • Mature content freedom

    Some owners appreciate the game's unapologetic nudity and mature content during and after character creation

Surprising patterns

  • Elon Musk allegedly brought an antique gun to the CDPR studio to pressure devs into putting him in the game — multiple commenters call this assault/brandishing
  • The game's corpo-dystopian narrative hits so close to home that owners draw direct parallels to real tech billionaires, calling the lack of self-awareness 'breathtaking'
  • A dedicated subreddit (r/lowSodiumCyberpunk) exists specifically for positive discussion, indicating the community fractured around the game's reception

WHO SHOULD SKIP IT

Buyers seeking a polished, complete experience at launch or who find prolonged time in dark, violent worlds unfulfilling should skip this.
