Quality not overshadowed by minor bugs
Yes, as of January 31 the game still has minor bugs and glitches. Minor as in not affecting the gameplay or not preventing player's progress. An NPC doing something funny or a mesh/texture loading slowly is not a "gamebreaking bug". And the game's performance is not optimized to the best yet. That said the game is very true to the source material of Cyberpunk pen&paper and also very true to the general idea of cyberpunk as a specific genre. The main story and sidestories are often bleak and dealing with mature and serious themes, and IMHO dealing with them very good. It's cyberpunk, you're a nobody trying to save yourself, not a hero trying to save the world. Great writing and tons of detail both in the stories and the characters and the world itself (it's worth it to go looking around the city and surrounding areas for secrets). With it comes the audiovisual production value which absolutely stunning. On High settings the game looks very nice and Ultra settings it looks beautiful. I was running the game on 16GB of RAM, i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz, and Geforce 1060. High was recommended settings and ran smooth, switching to Ultra was a massive improvement in visual quality with only slower framerate in heated combat and high speed driving through the most crowded city center. The graphic design of the city and the characters in it is incredibly detailed and creative, it's fun to sometimes go through the city to look for funky looking NPCs of which the game has plenty. Similarly it's fun to explore the streets themselves for interesting views. + You can have a ton of fun with the game's photomode while exploring. The music in the game is often very fitting and gives the game the right kick, although it's true that the combat music can get pretty stale after some time. The licensed music though is filled with a ton of great music made specifically for this game. The game has music for everyone, from blackmetal to jazz. That is something worthwhile in itself. top game
