Reviews by language
Steam reports review language, not player nationality — this is the best public proxy we have and it is a biased one. A Spanish player may well write in English. Note that Steam splits Spanish into Spain and Latin America, and Portuguese into Brazil and Portugal; the two are not interchangeable audiences.
| Language | Reviews | Share | Positive | Sentiment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| English | 802 | 72.5% | 77% | mostly positive |
| Chinese (Simplified) | 106 | 9.6% | 47% | mostly negative |

What this means for translations
We publish in English, 简体中文, Español, Français, Deutsch, Português (BR), Русский, 日本語, 한국어, Türkçe. English is the clear majority at 73% of reviews. Simplified Chinese is the largest non-English audience by a wide margin and is also the most negative — which is exactly the combination worth serving well, and exactly the one a pre-launch English site cannot.
Performance, verbatim
The complaint, in players' own words
this is one of the coolest games ive ever seen but the performance is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ MISERABLE they need to optimize this game so bad how do I get worse frames on this than cyberpunk2077 at psycho RT
Unfortunately the game has very poor performance. In quite a few areas I go below 60 FPS with the lowest hitting 35 FPS while on high settings. There also seems to be no difference in performance regardless of what settings i use. PC Specs: 1440p Resolution Ryzen 9 9950X3D RTX 5090 64 GB RAM I've tried some of the fixes that the developers have recommended but nothing has worked.
有点难评。 我将这款游戏加入愿望单的时间是2022年，准确来说是我第一款加入愿望单的游戏。我就这样期待了四年，终于在2026年国庆假期开始的时候玩到了这款游戏，开放购买那一刻立马付款，但半个小时的游戏经历就将我弄得头晕眼花，稍微提几点吧。 1.游戏的地图止步于指出不同的大区域，而当你进入到具体区域之后想要辨别方向只能靠着之前的经验瞎走。这一点在一个赛博风的花里胡哨的像素游戏中导致了灾难般的效果。举例来说，玩家进入的第一个区域有着大量的店铺，商贩，而当你想要去到具体你想要去的那个地方，你大概率要在这个充斥着光污染的高楼大厦中弯弯绕绕，从游戏顶部的抬头显示中挨个朝着不知道是不是你需要的那个商贩跑去（不同商贩的标识没有区别），体验真的很差 2.极多的对话造成了一定的负面效果。这点仁者见仁吧，我能理解制作组想通过对话展现出赛博朋克的内核，让玩家更有沉浸感，但废话也真的太多了点。这点在之前的cl…
Cyberpunk 2077 is my favorite game of all time, and I have over 1,000 hours in it. Ever since I first started playing Cyberpunk 2077, I dreamed of living in a place like Night City — not just visiting it, but actually living there, working, making friends, having a job, and experiencing everyday life in a cyberpunk world. When I first heard about Nivalis Nights and read the first news about …
Massively enjoying this so far. What I thought was going to be a simple slice of life cyberpunk restaurant sim has so much more depth to it. Few little things here and there, such as restocking the noodle stand the first time won't complete unless you buy extra ingredients because your cook is using ingredients while you shop, but overall nothing so far that has stopped me from wanting to get lost…
I wont refund because I want to play more but will leave a downvote for now until it's fixed. I actually have higher FPS in CP2077 with path tracing on than in this game when looking somewhere with more than 5 NPCs.
Method
Reviews are fetched from Valve's public review feed and stored in the repository. Pages read the stored copy, so a build never depends on Steam being reachable.
Performance and bug mentions are matched with a multilingual pattern set, because the signal is not English-only: an English-only filter would have missed every Russian, Portuguese and Chinese performance complaint in the corpus.
Nothing here is inferred. A quote is quoted; a count is counted. Where this site has no measurement, it says so rather than estimating.
