I've been playing the game a lot over the recent holidays and already completed the main quest once. To really make it clear, I surely had lots of fun playing it. Many of the characters and dialogues are well written and truly make you feel attached to some of them. The city (especially at night) looks stunning and truly lives up to my expectations as to what a over the top Cyberpunk game should look like. Unfortunately, that's about everything positive I have to say as of now (maybe that will change in the future, when possibly more content is being patched in; although I higly doubt it). Also, I'm not gonna discuss the heap ton of bugs that are still prevalent in the game, they've been catalogued all over the internet already. The main problem I have with the game is, and this truly saddens me more than it makes me angry, that the world, despite it's stunning visuals, feels unbelievably shallow and lifeless. It seems like every npc and car on the road that you see, when you roam the streets of the city, is on a set and scripted path. And if you try to interact in some way with this fragile construct of a world, it falls apart immediately. For instance, just park your car in the middle of the road and watch what happens. Or start shooting randomly in the streets. The AI feels like out of a game like GTA 1 from 1997. And when you compare this to games like GTA V, which was already released in 2013 for consoles, or Sleeping Dogs (2012), than you know what I mean. Most of the districts in the city are completely devoid of interesting quests and things to do (maybe there was a lot of content cut from the dev cycle). Also, the whole Keanu story arc feels completely unnecessary and artificial. I'd rather play a complete nobody and create my own character, get immersed in the world, than interact with a goofy Keanu sitting on my shoulder, giving of edgy comments in every quest. Budget could've been spent better. Just beware if you buy.
