Don't be deceived by its cartoonish aesthetics, it's a brutal strategy rogue-like and a pretty good one.
I don't like driving and shooting in games. Thus, I bought cyberpunk to be a little witcher in a big Night City. Yet, to my surprise, they polished driving and shooting to an extend that I truly enjoyed them. I literally don't use fast travel and drove everywhere on the car (R.I.P. passerbys) I end up using blades only when it seems too easy to do the gig with guns. These were enough to satisfy me with this game. Of course, the Night city is astounding and the storytelling is topnotch (like every CDPR game) Are there funny bugs? Yes. Are there frustratingly funny bugs? Also yes. Do they ruin the game? No. Do you need to get the double jump? Absolutely.
I loved Thea and was quite excited to check out the newer version. In short, It is worth a try but be ready it will take some time until you get into the flow. It has mesmerizing musical accompaniment. It immerses you into the myth and keeps there. The game is visually appealing. It pleases the eye and doesn't grow old. The writing holds the standards presented in the initial Thea. It keeps the tension and trepidation on what you're getting into in each event. Now about the main Gameplay. I was playing without manual saves, and I had restarted about 6 times before I managed to get a good run without being doomed to extinction. Now you need to keep an eye not only on health but also on mental health and spirit. The thing is, you might still die if it gets lower than 30%. It takes time to get used to it. I thought it is a little too complicated. Other than that, I liked the ability to pick place for a village and have more than one. ( I never figured out how to destroy a building in a village, but that's just me) Also different factions were a nice introduction to the game. At last, now in order to beat Thea you need have to craft to create normal equipment. (Beating with outnumbering doesn't work anymore).] It means a lot of crafting and gathering. That's pretty much it. I liked the new Thea. If you are going to give it a try, then give it some time as well. Also, I will recommend in difficulty settings to tune auto resolve to good, to ensure you can spam it when you get bored of combat.
