There was so much hype around this game that that was bound to be some disappointment. That being said, there is a lot to be disappointed about. This was supposed to be a bold, immersive cyberpunk RPG. A playground for your custom tailored character with lots impactful choices and replay-ability. What we got was what you'd expect if you'd ask Paul Verhoeven to do an installment of Grand Theft Auto. Don't get me wrong, in that respect it's enjoyable enough. I played the game through for what it was, and had an okay time with it. But it really doesn't fulfill the expectations I had of it. So what's wrong with this game? Well, for one, I don't think it has any meaningful choices or replay-ability at all. This due to the fact that you don't actually have any choices in this game at all. You're just railroaded through the story, and the only choice you have is who you ask to help you when it's time for the finale. The story itself is actually quite enjoyable, but it's not worth going through a second time. Then there's the cyberpunk world itself. It can be pretty and awe inspiring in how large it is, I'll give it that, but it also feels empty and artificial; filled with NPC's that you can barely interact with, walking and driving around aimlessly with no sense of purpose. This whole aspect could have received a lot more love. Then there's the gameplay. I mean, it's passable; I enjoy GTA as much as the next man. But it's not what I expected from a Cyberpunk RPG. With some love from the devs hopefully the bugs in the game will be squashed and maybe they'll even be able to blow some life into the streets as well. When they do, I do think it will be worth picking up then (preferably with a bit of a price drop). The story itself is worth visiting. It has some real moments and it's worth the experience. But if you buy this game sold on the hype, you're going to be in for a disappointment.
