First the cons (bugs aren't included, since they are obvious): - Lifepath choice doesn't matter THAT much. There are certain events which playout differently but you end up the "same" V. - Character customization isn't as deep as I thought it was. It's not even possible to change your look in-game. - Gunplay feels clunky. The hitboxes can be of at times, especially with melee combat. -The AI needs an overhaul. detect you instantly, or are unalerted in a "loud" (when they should be actively attacking you) situation. - Now to the biggest problem in my opinion: The World is big and full of life at first glance but when you treat this game as an Open-World exploration game you can be frustrated. There are not many random events occurring; you wont be rewarded as much as in other Open-World games (Skyrim, RDR2); the NPCs will only spawn in your FOV; etc. Now to the positives, because there are many: - The voice actress of V did a phenomenal job. I could feel her emotions within her voice from sorrow to excitment, stress to relief. She brought V to life.Through my playthrough and beyond she made me feel the emotions V felt, which is incredible. -The soundtrack is fire. from the very beginning the soundtrack caught me in a storm. It brings so much tension and helps intensifying emotions throughout the whole game. Also, the radio stations play bangers all the time. - The world design is amazing. The contrats between the colours of Night City and the cold minimalism of the Corps (which run the city) underlines the theme and moral of CP 2077. The city of big dreams is just a shallow shell for corps. - The story is well written too are the characters V meets. The story had an emotional impact unlike any other game or medium I have ever comsumed. My conclusion: CP 2077 is an incredible experience. Treat it as a "story-driven with an Open-World" and not an "Open-World with a story"- game, then it shines. It needs polishing and I can tell that is was released unfinished.
