Or to be precise slightly better. For some users. Yes, CD Projekt Red, finally came up with patch 1.5 and... it’s still far, far, far from what was expected from the game.
With new patch available today for PC and consoles CD Projekt Red added new weapons to the game (two new weapons to be exact, three if you count throwing knife), few additional apartments that you can choose and redecorate, some technical fixes to crowd reactions and something that we all were waiting for - a mirror! And to quote classic - th... th... th... th... that’s all folks.
It took CDPR just slightly over 1 year to add some new features into their game and to be honest it’s hard to find players that would be impressed with size and content of the 1.5 update. Yes, it’s better than nothing, yes, it has made the game slightly better, yes, it contains some features that were promised years ago, but at the same time there is still long list of features missing from game 14 months after premiere. For example: non-laughable police system, chance to travel using trains, pedestrians that would make the city feel like living organism, most of the RPG options...
It’s nice they’ve done something, but at the same time they put the bar so low that doing anything would be better than what they did the whole last year. And taking under consideration that the average number of Cyberpunk 2077 concurrent players is way below 15 thousands throughout last 12 months it could be too little too late for the title to bounce back and be relevant again.

Cyberpunk 2077, a game with one of the worst premieres in modern times, just became a Game of the Year! No, you didn’t wake up in some parallel universe, although... I’m not that sure to be honest.
Cyberpunk 2077, new game from CD Projekt Red studio, premiered on 10th December 2020 and, just like rest of the year 2020, it was a painful experience. Although after about 8 years in production developers made history, I don’t think that was the way they wanted to do it.
CD Projekt announced that an early stage of work on a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 has started and, to quote a classic, it’s déjà vu all over again.
CD Projekt Red announced that they work on Witcher 4! And... that’s about it. No, I forgot, we now know the title! And that is really it.
In his second video regarding the "Stop killing games" initiative, indie developer Pirate Software again argues how bad the whole idea is and how it will destroy developers. And misses the point. Again.
Lord of the Rings MMORPG game, that was suppose to premiere in 2021, has just been added to the growing list of titles in development and then abandoned by Amazon Games.
Or rather the IGMMOIG word. I know, it’s not really a word, it’s acronym, but "I’m Gonna Make My Own Indie Game" is such a long thing to say. Yes, each week, each month, perhaps even each day so...
If a company with a reputation as bad as Square Enix reaches the new low, you can count on their new idea being really, really bad.
