I'd like to have copied my review from Steam to here, but it's too long. I have 14 hours on this so far. I have many issues with this game, one is that hardly even feels like an RPG. It's not the expansive RPG we were advertised with many quest lines and factions to join. There's no way to have an effect on the world around you, you can't customize your apartment or get new ones, you can't customize your car, you can hardly even customize yourself. V is a static character. The only things you can change are surface level. It's just a typical Action-Adventure FPS. Somehow, the world this game presents is exceedlingly boring. I'm the type of player who reads every single bit of flavor text, zooms in on all the posters to read them, listens to NPCs talk to each other and the type who watched those dumb little cartoons in GTA IV in-game. In Cyberpunk 2077, I can't even be bothered to pick up logs anymore. The crowd and traffic AI is literally non-existant. If something blocks or otherwise distrubs them, they just vanish once they're out of view. The game's story takes a nose-dive after the title card shows, plenty of quests to take on but none of them are any good and don't feel like they help develop my character. Though, you can't change V at all anyway. Combat is so terrible, that it's the only real reason I've chose to use stealth so much.
This is probabbly one of my top favorite games of all time. I saw that I could get a DRM free copy of it here on GoG during a sale ($3!) and decided to pick it up. This game is an absoutely fantastic First-Person Platformer and the best Parkour-based game that is on the market. This game got me into training Parkour back in 2009, and I still practice. There just aren't other games that match the level of detail this one gets right. The momentum, the feeling, how it sounds, everything is spot on. The story the game uses is a little boring, but Faith Connors as a character and the world this game takes place in (At least this version of it.) are of my favorite in gaming.
