Cyberpunk 2077 is known as the Eurojank of all time.

Eurojank is a loosely-defined video game sub-genre that is generally classified as AA or budget titles that are extremely overambitious in scope and rife with game-breaking bugs and glitches. Most games that are classified as "Eurojank" are extremely over-complicated open world or non-linear action RPGs that are developed in third world hellholes such as Poland, Germany, Frogistan, and the Soviet Union.

Eurojank made by slavs is sometimes referred to as Slavclunk while Eurojank made by Americunts is referred to as Bethesda Softworks.

Identifying Eurojank

  • Is it 3D?
  • Are the graphics two or more console generations behind?
  • Is it a third-person action RPG or a first-person shooter with tacked on RPG elements like stat progression and perks?
  • Is the combat extremely clunky and/or obtuse?
  • Is it overly ambitious?
  • Is it open world or non-linear?
  • Do player choices actually have consequences?
  • Is the game hard as balls and does it avoid holding your hand?
  • If you wander a few feet away from the starting area will you be murdered by level 70 dinosaurs?
  • Is the end product a bug-filled mess?
  • Can the enemy A.I. or game mechanics be easily exploited to make the game far easier than intended?
  • Is there a day/night cycle?
  • Is it actually somewhat fun to play?
  • Does the voice-acting sound like it was done by homeless people who wanted to make a quick buck?
  • Does it have a shit-ton of stupid lore?
  • Is it based on a little known series of books by some obscure author that literally noone has heard of?
  • Was it made by an ED user?


If you answered "yes" to more than half of these questions, then you're probably playing Eurojank.
