Reviews for Cyberpunk 2077 started to trickle in today starting around noon (ET). There really aren't too many reviews out there just yet since the PR company responsible for North American key distribution never actually got keys to give out! As of right now, only the most major of outlets in North America were given a review key. These are in addition to a number of outlets in Europe that worked directly with CD Projekt Red for keys.
So, if you are wondering where reviews are from outlets like ours, that is the reason why. It is unfortunate, but there really isn't anything we can do about it. However, we can share a look at the reviews that are live right now.
At the time of this posting, there are a total of 40 reviews out for Cyberpunk 2077. According to OpenCritic these reviews average out to 91% with 97% of critics recommending the game. Below are just a few outlets and their scores.
