What's most important, I have a feeling like Christmas is here finally because of this game. I'm charmed, bewitched, fascinated with Night City and plot. This game impacts me in the way that I reserve to first playthrough of TES III: Morrowind where I was fascinated with its unconvential open world and creative quests. Yes, there are flaws, but to give this game 4 stars, I'd have to do a round trip through all other reviews and drop them all by a note. Also, these flaws happen only from time to time and can be mostly avoided with little effort. I'm positively surprised that on my old setup (i5-6600k with game boost, RX 480 GAMING X 8 GB, 16 GB RAM) game has defaulted to high/ultra settings and gave me stable/predictable, mostly playable performance (although low - around 30 FPS). I can live with that, considering how beautiful is all I see on screen (and considering latest news that made me uncertain whether I'll be able to play the game at all). Issues so far: - car driving is not a pleasure: (1) controls are mostly too rushy, but on tight corners happen to be too sloppy, (2) car brakes like old unmaintained truck, - weird reactions from police in public - ok, they may not appreciate me standing close to crime scene or staring, but I'd expect them to react explicitly and warn me before shooting, - collisions are very far from smooth in general: colliding with pedestrians, standing on some things (furniture) can result in shaky, undecided attempts of the game to position V correctly, - some glitch here and there: (1) floating V's car (once), (2) first time V looked in a mirror inside her apartment, she was missing hair and some clothes she was wearing at a time, (3) in first village on Nomad beginning, there was a guy sitting in imaginary car in the middle of the street. But that's all through 4 hours of gameplay. Suggestion: - to improve immersion, more interaction would be appreciated (some dialogues with peds, more interactive things (wending machines etc.)
