Beautifully does what it set out to do
I've played about 16 hours of the game so far and here's what I think: I'm reading a lot of critic reviews that are expressing disappointment that the game did not "push gaming forward". What does that even mean? I don't think it's fair to expect this game to change the way we play games forever, and then condemn it if it doesn't. It's a fantastic game that takes from all the great games before it and puts them together to tell (what I think is) an amazing story. I think people are judging this game unfairly. I think the game is a 4/5 overall due to the minor launch bugs I've seen, but I'm saying 5/5 to do my part to even-out all the 1/5's and 2/5's I'm seeing (come ON, really??). I'm also reading a lot of user reviews that are bashing it for the launch-week bugs and lacking the ability to change keybindings. Those fixes are coming. I've encountered bugs, but nothing game-breaking and I knew the risk playing huge AAA games at launch. Expecting patches and fixes is the rule - not the exception. Haven't we all been through this enough to not make that a whining point? Some people complain that it's crashing and not playing well, but don't post their specs. I'm using an RTX 2070 with an i5 6 core cpu, and 32 gbs of ram. I upgraded as much as I could afford, but still a far cry from a 3080 or the like - and I actually figured I'd have a ton of problems. I'm running the game at 1440p on Ultra settings all the way down the line. No issues. I'm not a fanboy of the Cyberpunk franchise, in fact I'm a Shadowrun guy, but this game has a huge, gorgeous world with incredible techno punk/retrowave music. It possitively oozes with pure, cyberpunk personality and style. If you are a fan of the genre, you should play this game. I don't know another game where I can listen to punk techno and walk on steamy rain-slicked streets, get in my neon-lit 70s muscle car and then chop a boosterganger's head off with a katana.
