This is not your standart CRPG. It is more of novel-make your choice with some incredible writing. Combat is not the main focus, or op characters. This is more about understanding the world and how your very interesting Main character interacts with it. The setting is incredible interesting on its own, but on top of that the main character is , well , the remains of a god. 100% worthwhile, and probably some of the best writing you've seen in a crpg.
Visually the game is simple top notch. Night city feels alive . I recommend not fast traveling and riding a vehicle to go places. Story wise its a good story. Not perfect by any means, but good. Characters are fleshed, specially Johny. Gameplay wise it could have been much better. When the worldbuilding is good, you like to try different approaches to different challenges to make second or third playthroughs interesting. It does acomplish that, but given the huge expectations it does feel a bit underwhelming.... still good for at least a couple of playthrouhgs. Gonna try 1.5 that seems to add a bit more challenge. But honestly so many things could have been done to improve massively the replay value .. I do hope DLCs change that. Also: The game is BIG! If you enjoy doing sidequests, theres stuff for HOURS. Scoring: Graphics : 9,5 Story: 8 World building and Setting: 10 Gameplay: 7 Try it.
