So first of all i dont want to talk about all the bugs and glitches because im pretty sure most people are aware of them and im pretty sure cdpr are whipping them out with time.The problem i have are the rpg elements of the game.When they first announced cyberpunk and they said you can create your own character this time i was pretty excited.The first character creator they showed in the e3 2018 demo looked pretty promising you could choose from a variety of backgrounds you could give your character a first and last name etc like a proper pen and paper rpg....this is not here anymore.Now you choose between 3 lifepaths than just choose the look and stats but you don’t create your own character because v stands now for the characters first name (which you find out in the story)and you basically just play another geralt in a genre which stands for roleplaying first.You can’t roleplay as your own character because he has already a predefined name/personality and if you pick an answer in the dialogue box your character says words which are his own and not what you picked.Cdprs mentality is story first and that’s where the problem lies and they screwed a lot of other cool other features down the road.If you played the witcher and you liked the side quests there they also don’t feel that meaningful in this game....a lot of is just go there eliminate this guy and than you get your money.The combat system is also pretty clunky especially the melee combat.What they have done best are the characters you meet down the road because they are very well written plus the graphics are also gorgeous.Driving feels also okay and the first person was also a good decision even if im also a big fan of third person.You can also choose between a variety of implants and skills which are solid too.Overall it’s a decent game where you can dive a lot of hours in but it does a lot of things wrong in my opinion but if the points i mentioned don’t bother you,it’s probably a game you can enjoy.
I tried to play this game with my girlfriend and we both think it’s a cute game.The dialogue between the two is a bit crinche but overall the game has a nice art style and music.You look for resources to repair your ship,cook,talk with your partner and the fighting system is also not very deep.This game is more to relax in general.I would have prefered to create my own guy or customize him a bit.The rpg tag isn’t really true i personally would call it an adventure/social game it’s really sweet.I played in on gamepass because i wasn’t sure if i should pay that price for that game but if you are into that kinda games you already did
Yeah the game has still a way to go but to be honest it’s more polished than most tripple a games these days.Its still baldurs gate but with larians spin on it but i would say it’s a divinity clone there are many things which are different.You definetly feel the higher budget right from the start and the motion capturing in this game is awesome.You are the hero of the story and the role play options are awesome.If you are a fan of rpgs and turn based combat this is the game for you plus if you don’t mind bugs and you want to support a great team.
