My short experience of Cyberpunk so far
Visually, it's stunning. The gunplay and combat, however, are confusing, and some things just don’t behave as expected. Overall, my biggest issue so far is the writing. A majority of it is okay, but in certain parts, it feels off-putting and hastily thrown together. For example, how does V get such a big mission so early in their (probably illegal) career? Some areas of Night City also feel illogical from a writing perspective. Like the shamefully bad driving mechanics, certain things just stick out more than others. One example is the dialogue options—sometimes they’re radically different from what V actually says or does. In some cases, the outcome feels much more destructive or unexpected than what the dialogue choice implied. That’s very off-putting to me, especially since I’ve played the Fallout series, where dialogue options more clearly reflect your choices and their consequences in the world. The body modification system also feels weirdly vague. The implants look so uncleanly installed that I’m honestly surprised half the recipients don’t die of infections or other medical issues. That said, I can see how the game, especially in terms of environmental storytelling, is very pretty and solidly built—even though I still get confused by how and why certain things are the way they are. I’d give it a 3 out of 5. It’s been updated, it’s playable, and I think it can be enjoyed—but it still has a ways to go.
