I would say it's 4.5 / 5. The plot is interesting, NPCs actions are logical. Never faced any bugs. The game lacks some point-gaining balance, so game progress would feel better. Price could be a little bit lower, but still ok (completing the game will take about 10h). If you like text/plot-rich games - it's for you.
When this game was released - I was pushed back by the "pirates" theme and not intuitive mechanics. But when I get used to some things and understood the game a little bit more... It's surprising, but PoE2 skills/classes mechanics are balanced better, than Pathfinder. The main story is short but interesting, the world is huge, lots of interesting side quests and characters. It's one of a few games that I did not uninstall after 100% completion, and replay it from time to time.
Music is great. Played for several hours - no bugs. Responsive controls. Funny story. Overall - much better, than I expected from a game that had a discount on start.
It's a masterpiece, but with two problems: 1) everyone knew that it will be something special, so no "wow effect" like it was with a witcher 2) it's a giant game, it has some bugs (mostly solved by relaunchign the game). Still, bugs will be fixed (like it was with all huge games). People who designed a Night City (I can't even imagine how much tiem they spent on it) deserved a monument. Music is just awesome, graphics, dialogues - everything is great. P.S. update your nVidia drivers, it solves most of problems.
After the latest update, the game became not only playable but also enjoyable. I wish it was like this when it was released.
Short random levels, random loot, die -> start from the very beginning You should shoot your weapon in harmony with the music beats (but you can turn it off). Cons? Weird graphics, some unfair moments (I did not like to be killed by a boss on his loading show up). Pros? Awesome gameplay, music. And no issues with ammo! (but weapon reloading also should be synced with music). One of the best indies of this year imo.
