Exactly, it’s in their best interest to review positively to keep relations with publishers, so they keep getting review keys, so they can capitalize on that early hype. That said, I got burnt by preordering cyberpunk, so I’ve stopped preordering since
Have you replayed it at all recently? I just purchased it on PS5 a few weeks ago. Went in with zero expectations, following the terrible launch. But I gotta say, it's not perfect. But I've barely had any bugs and overall enjoying it quite a lot. If you didn't get a refund, it's not a total waste of money to play now. But the game day release definitely reinforced my belief that I should wait at least 6 months before buying a new game. Glad I was too broke back then to buy a PS5 otherwise I would have hit that pre-order button for the first time in my life. I too am a huge Witcher 3 fan and got excited about CD Projekt Red releasing a game so I feel your pain. I was almost there with you.
This is great advice. I never finished it launch, went back a couple months ago and played through. The game and world are beautiful. The story is interesting. Most of the bugs are gone. My one criticism is that the world is still noticeably incomplete in a lot of areas and some of the mechanics are shallow placeholders.
There’s a new update coming that supposedly addresses a lot of the short comings. I’m excited to see how it turns out.
Yup, I also came back to cyberpunk this summer with an upgraded rig and was really enjoying myself. Thanks for reminding me I should finish my save before that overhaul updates comes out soon

You really expect game journalists to be impartial and honest?
