Every tiny bit of dialogue is interrupted by a loading screen, which lasts for 20 seconds at least. A 30-second scene, followed by a loading screen, 40-second scene, loading screen, 25-second scene, loading screen. It's like watching a video that keeps buffering. What amazing assets is it busy loading anyway? Cyberpunk 2077's poor PS4 frame rate affects gameplay in turn, delaying many in-game actions such as switching the car camera or accessing your phone by several seconds. And frankly, it's annoying enough that the game forgets your preferred camera for driving.
If all that wasn't enough, Cyberpunk 2077 routinely crashes as well. In the 15 hours I've spent testing the game on my PS4, it's conked off in the middle of missions half a dozen times (after day-one and hotfix, both).
Part of that problem is the lack of customization for your character's appearance once the full game begins. The initial character creator isn't anything too wild, besides the unnecessary ability to craft genitals. The main story itself isn't anything too uncommon for the genre at most points and goes to some very uncomfortable places in visceral detail. A part of the story is very time-sensitive to create urgency—until one of the first missions right after this reveal asks the player to wait while something happens off-screen. In those side paths, V encounters unforgettable characters with lengthy storylines. They're varied, memorable and play a part in the greater effort, so to speak. Along the way, V happens to get Silverhand's consciousness stuck in their head.

Take an in-depth look at the different backstories you’ll be able to pick for your character in Cyberpunk 2077. There’s more than one way to live in Night City and each path provides you with a distinct introduction to its open world that will influence your experiences throughout the game. When survival of the fittest is the name of the game, you better make sure you know who the top players are.
