Toe the hype line and just enjoy
Game is fun with a an interesting story. Took me back to Neuromancer at points or a very well put together a (solo player) Cyberpunk/Shadowrun P&P campaign. Playing with an RTX 3070 I had little issue playing through and enjoying this game. It was buggy at times and optimization could use some work. But overall, I'm very happy and found the game beautiful with ray tracing on. A game of this scale is an extremely difficult thing to put together and I am highly impressed by the development team's work. I played through the main story and most of the 'main' sidequests that effect the endings in about 50 hours. I imagine you could throw on another 20-40 hours on top of that if you went through and tried to complete every exclamation mark on the map. Maybe even more. A lot of the side missions and main story missions were very interesting to me and I adored simply driving around Night City and taking in the sights. Found the game to be more enjoyable than the developer's previous works because I didn't need to go about ticking off random crap on the map in order to complete the game without too much stress on hard difficulty. I did leave a lot uncompleted on the map, but polished off all the side quests that effect the main story. I think people have some really unreasonable expectations for this game. I have been waiting 8 years for this thing. Nonetheless I put any expectations aside before playing the game and had a great time. With a bit of post-launch bug-fixing and optimization, I think this will take its rightful place as a masterpiece in the eyes of the community. Even if the company abandoned this game right now I'd still give it 5 stars. Knowing CD PROJEKT RED, however, I imagine there will be a lot of bug fixing and optimization coming soon. I look forward to the coming DLC and replaying the game in a few months when they've taken the feedback offered by their community into consideration and made positive changes.
