That game has a lot of potential. Let's start with the good part: - I really love the story, it's honestly amazing. The end is a bit... questionable. Without spoiling you, I wish it could've been a bit more than what we got. Feels like the story writers couldn't come up with more and left it at that. - characters and voice acting - the open world is also very nice Negative aspects: - weapons are boring: you get new weapons all the time but the weapon model and icon in your inventory stays the same, just the DPS and other stats improve - illusion of choice regarding the story: as others mentioned, your dialogue options have ABSOLUTELY ZERO IMPACT on the story and what occurs -> it feels like you're playing a visual novel where your decisions don't matter - as of patch 1.6 this game got a lot better but if you look at comparison videos on YouTube that compare 1.6 with the release version you see that a lot didn't improve: car physics are awful, NPCs still have a very weird behavior, and cops are a damn joke: I expected something like in GTA V where cop chases were a huge part of the game but in Cyberpunk 2077 it's enough to hop into your car, drive about kilometer and that's it. As of 1.6 cops still don't enter the vehicle to chase you, they just start shooting you and if you're out of sight, that's it. - though you have multiple choices when it comes to approaching objectives (melee, shotguns, assault rifles, hacking or maybe just talking to someone) I feel like the game unconsciously encourages you to approach missions using the "take-your-weapon-and-storm-in" approach. I barely ever felt like hacking someone because using your rifle always seemed like the easier option Summarized, the story is amazing and reason enough to play the game but the rest is just... meh. Thanks to Cyberpunk Edgerunners I was motivated enough to replay the game but it gets boring real quick if you don't play it for the first time. I'm excited about the DLCs and online mode, though!
