Fantastic experience these days
I put off purchasing and playing this game for ages, finally getting on board with the release of Phantom Liberty and mostly playing on the 2.1 update. The game is stunning all around. Graphically fantastic, great story, and enjoyably deep combat mechanics. The boss encounters are a heap of fun, and I don't mind dying to them numerous times because in most instances it feels like the failure is on me, not any random glitches. The game still has bugs to encounter around the place, but most of the time they're just small oddities rather than anything game breaking. They didn't get in the way of my enjoyment. I still feel like the game is a bit incomplete. The lack of consequence for many choices, and the lack of use for many items make it feel like there is still more vision for this game that CDPR didn't get the chance to fully realise. This leaves a bit of a hollow feeling sometimes, like I'm regularly finding the edge of the facade where there's nothing more to see. At least there's still plenty of other interesting things to do, and basically everything (quests, etc) that you do get to engage with is a lot of fun. I never feel like this game is wasting my time with excess padding. I'm glad I didn't play any earlier and am getting more or less the complete experience from the studio. Definitely had a lot of fun with it so far!
