I played Cyberpunk 8 Month after the release when all major bugs were fixed. I should have waited with Phantom Liberty aswell.
The story till now is good, don't get me wrong. But people vanishing in the ground. If you jump against a wall you can glitch through. If you looking in a specific angle walls can vanish. etc. too many bugs this game to be called great.
If you think my rig is not good enough:
rtx4090
13900k
128 gb RAM
this should be enough...
The base game is amazing, the DLC added even more to make it glorious. Be warned, when you enter Dog Town, you may notice a dip in frames per second, Dog Town and everything within is more graphically demanding than the base game, enough so that I have to use DLSS Quality or FSR Quality in Dog Town to keep FPS up near what I can get in the base game on a RTX 2080 Super running 2560x1440 resolution and high settings. If you already have a way more powerful machine, you have nothing to worry about.
First the positives. The game shines in world-building, side quests, and gameplay outside story missions. Night City truly feels like a lived in dystopian city. Gameplay offers a variety of playstyles like swordsman, brawler, blunt weapon user, gunman (subdivided into different classes any types, be it shotguns, snipers etc.) or even a stealth hacker. although some builds like katana build are OP while hacker is more difficult. Driving is decent, and just roaming around is fun.
First bad thing is that story missions are absolute dogshit, its mostly walking behind somebody or listening to somebody which is unskippable and total waste of players time. There tries to be a RPG but you have little to no freedom and are shoehorned in mostly predefined character where your choices don't matter. There are some branching storylines that differ depending on your choices, but you don't have any real about how your character behaves. If you try to play as aggressive but stupid or selfish but scared you will be quickly taken out of any roleplay but the first cutscene. I think that is a shame because game could just have been story driven OR and RPG with much less cutscenes and predefined paths. It tries to mix both and fails while trying.
Despite this I have completed the game 3 times with different playstyles. It does offer some replayability but story missions are a real chore during multiple playthourghs, which is a shame. Character creator is pretty robust, which is strange since you rarely see your character model. The overall tome of the game is depressing but if fits splendidly in this dystopian rendition of the future. Its a good game I would recommend, but not to any RPG fans.
The story is quite good but it does not really improve the global narrative or gameplay. If you want just to play a bit longer with a "new" intrigue it is okay, but do not expect too much. This extension follows exactly what was done and does not improve the game or correct its faults.
