Kinda grew on me
I bought the Ultimate Edition recently (base game + DLC) so I wasn't around during the terrible launch and subsequent updates. I read enough to know that a lot of improvements were made and the game was in a completely playable state. After playing for a few hours, I kind of regretted my purchase. I'm not a huge fan of FPS games (I know, I know, why would I buy an FPS if I don't like them?) Well, I enjoyed other shooter/RPG games I played in the past like the Mass Effect series so I decided to give this a try. I'm glad I soldiered through and kept playing because the game has really grown on me. I find the characters to be well-written and realistic, the story and missions to be engaging, and Night City to be a lot of fun to explore. There are only a couple of things that knock it down from a 5 to a 4 for me. First, I find Keanu Reeves to be irritating and the weakest among the voice cast, which is a shame because he has the most dialogue apart from the player him or herself. And second, I really would have loved a third person mode (apart from driving.) I know there is at least 1 mod that can accomplish this, but it doesn't work very well as the designers clearly had no plans for the game to be played outside of first person. But overall, this game is pretty cool and gets my thumbs up.
Is this helpful to you?
