After the dabacle of a launch I really wasn't too keen on trying this game but, after I finally got around to the Witcher I was interested in trying something else. I'd also seen a bunch of people praising the state of the game now so I decided to give it a shot. And I'd dare to say its one of the best games I've ever played. Truly interesting characters with proper development and good dialouge. And the setting of a futuristic stylized take on the west coast is pretty cool. So I guess to start the story is really quite something. Without spoiling it, it really has some of the best writing in gaming IMO. It really does just sound and feel like you're talking to someone real. I even noticed characters overlap dialouge when arguing and not waiting their turn for their line. Something small but, really adds to the experience. And relationships really progress and you learn their strengths and flaws and can affect dialouge choices which is nice. I'd say the biggest disapointment with the story is probably the length. I mean I put 40 hours into my save but, I was always scrounging for more. I really wanted more missions and stuff with these characters. However dumb as it may sound I even started to care for them. Moving onto the general gameplay was actually pretty solid. At first I though the game had really bullet spongey enemies but, after a bit and realizing that the Reflex skill tree is like essential if you want to do damage. I'd recommend perking into Handguns cause, I noticed that most of the time you get more legendary handguns than you do anything else. Another thing I wish to touch on is skills. Now in Cyberpunk 2077 you have a skill tree. It's sperarted in the same vien as something like Dungeons & Dragons or any other boardgame (I'd assume that this is the same for Cyberpunk 2020.) Almost all of these skill trees affects dialouge in some way but, it's usually just an alternate path to the same ending from what I've seen. Well there's the word limit, CYA.
