A mediocre looter shooter!
The game does not deserve it, but I will start with the good anyway: - The graphics are good - Night City looks amazing The bad: - Customization is not in the game as the only things the full-sized customizable player icon shares with the PC are the face and body texture. - The only thing the Life Paths govern in-game is the starting outfit as all of the conversation choices are just another means to the same end. - V has even less personality than Sophie Turner! - Whoever is responsible for the keyboard layout and the game interface needs firing as this goes way beyond simple incompetence! - The game world feels empty as you can roam for hours without encountering a single NPC you can interact with in any meaningful way. - If all of the single-choice conversations ingame are made without the need for the player to press F to continue the game will be reduced to a Kinetic Novel! - There is no roleplay to be found. - There is no ownership in the game and consequently zero immersion (although that is only one of the reasons that). - Stealth is unrewarding and pointless as it does not result in a different outcome other than some fixers saying that there is a bonus for it, which you cannot even confirm as rewards are random (strike two for immersion btw) - The nonviolent option is a sick joke as instead of offering a bunch of nonlethal weapons with their own unique takedowns and quirks the game just gives you the equivalent of a few sticky notes with a sentence of flavor text on them containing the phrase "nonlethal" which you can stick to your weapon or cyberware! Oh, and V is clearly depicted blowing an enemy with a shotgun in the welcome to NC montage, you know as a casual bird flip from CDPR for all of the players looking forward to the nonlethal path. - Nothing from the Welcome to NC montage is actually in the game with the exception of the shooting - A list of missing features longer than Skyrim's bug list!
