This game should have never been released on last-gen consoles- even with the multitude of updates they still can't keep up with the graphical demands. On PC, this games shines. I only have an RX580, but it is glorious.(1080p) Were there bugs? Sure, almost all cosmetic, maybe a few minor gigs effected. Patches and DLC continue to come out. Extremely active modding community, although I usually just install a handful quality-of-life ones. The story, side quests, gigs, and enviornmental stories are fantastic. Multiple solutions, some consequences that effect other things, so much work put into the world. Memorable characters, stellar music, best graphics I've experienced. Combat is great and varied- guns, Mantis Blades, hacking, beating the crap out of everybody with Gorilla Arms- 600 hrs and I haven't even tried Monowire and Projectile Launch System. Stealthy boi or blast them all through the walls with Comrade's Hammer? (I usually try first approach then have to go to the 2nd...) Some negatives? Bugs of course, but most are cosmetic. Balance is a bit on the easy side once you level up. The interface could use some user friendliness- if you don't read a shard immediately you gotta search for it, and it is NOT well organized for that. Some things like customizing your appearance later should be there. NPC AI could be better, but they are essentially part of the environment. Cops need work. Above all, I like just wandering the world. There are so many different environments created with such incredible detail, and they all look and feel different in the day vs at night. I can't wait to see what gets added to this world.
Wasn't sure what to expect but with the rave reviews I wanted to check it out. The praise was not unwarranted- the game is dark(right from the start, sorry dog lovers), grotesquely beautiful, immersive, and has some great storytelling. I like that you are not some uber-hero, and all you have is a damn sling, and have to protect your (mostly) useless brother the bulk of the time. Sneak is definitely the key here, especially for the first half. I really like the creativity with the rats, avoiding, then using them. Final boss battle was truly some crazy bizarre stuff. Let's just say RATS INTENSIFIES. Only criticism would probably be some of the expressions of characters seem a bit..lifeless. Kudos for the photo mode, I like seeing it without needing something like Ansel.
