Absolute magnificent storytelling
TL;DR: the way the game handles these well written characters is definitely something else. The game gives you choices which aren't good or bad, you can choose whatever suits you but it clearly affects the way these characters see you or how they behave towards you. It puts you in a rollercoaster of emotions in a pretty well designed city with a great atmosphere. Doing a second playthrough and it just keeps surprising me when picking other options. The thing that stands out for me in this game are definitely the people you meet in this game. Each person has it's own personality which defines how they judge your actions in this game. Added with some absolute great voiceacting it makes these characters feel alive. Aside from the regular interaction during (side)missions you get these small moments of contact with them through a phonecall or textmessage where you can also interact with them. It's very clever because it helps create a bond or a feeling of friendship for these NPCs. Some are suble and progress naturaly, some have a little more push to it. But overall each one of them are so very well made and i absolutely love it. The game itself is complex, you have different ways to play it as a character (from heavy gunning soldier to a sneaky hacking netrunner. You have different ways to handle outcome of some missions, without being clearly right or wrong. (sometimes yea, but you know when that happens). Most of the time you can just do what you feel is right for you, or you can set aside your own feelings and do what's best for your NPC friend. The city is fun. Past few updates brought it alive and there are a lot of random events or funny NPC dialogs you can listen to. With each part of the city having their own feel to it, it's a great city to wander about. 5/5 recommand, even if its just to meet the NPC's of Night City.
