Bugs aside, it's pretty mediocre
Leaving bugs aside for now. There's a lot to this game, I'll try to unpack my thoughts after finishing nearly everything and 100 hours of play. It's fun running around, hacking and customising your character. If you stick to moving between the objective markers on your map, it feels pretty satisfying. Though outside that, NC is uninteractable with. The writing is pretty poor. Characters feel one dimensional, and/or emotionless. There are one or two exceptions, but it's not great. As someone who pores over entries in terminals in Fallout, etc, the equivalent here were huge blocks of text and I quickly stopped reading them. The driving is bad. It has the issue that I am not using a mechanical keyboard, so the throttle is always full on, but the gps window is too small to make the turns, the cars all handle pretty poorly and the driver AI is bad. Not to mention the horrible pop in you get with cars appearing from nowhere at high speeds and 2D sprites of traffic fading like a mirage making it hard to plan where to position yourself. The gunplay is okay. It's servicable. headshots are satisfying. The enemy AI is the standard stand and shoot dumb AI in many games. Hacking is fun when it works, but I'm pretty sure it's a little buggy at the moment and will get better. Most of the time avoiding combat is more fun than engaging. Leveling is pretty good, there are a decent amount of options, though I feel too much of the game requires a high body stat. Conversation options are lazy, uninspired and have almost no real choice. Rarely does anything your character says matter at all. The story is okay, kinda short and a bit unsatisfying, but the main issue with it are the cutscenes. They are just bad, feeling like a long slog and a waste of your time as they make you slowly walk in an empty hallway or listen to a boring, unskippable monologue. I had fun, but I love this setting, if I didn't, I'm not sure I would have invested as much time as I have.
