Good: +Main story is compelling +Some narratively involving sidequests +Gunplay, guns and combat +Throwbacks to 2020 and RED tabletop game +Stunning graphics +City is interesting +Major character models look good (V, Jackie, Judy etc.) +Interesting philosophical pondering at times about humanity and technology Bad: -Character customization (needs more depth, feels shallow with only premade options) -Cars and traffic · You can buy cars but you have no way of customizing them · Traffic clogs up if you park at the middle of the road · Cars keep disappearing in the distance -Minimap makes navigating routes and planning turns really difficult -Glitches and bugs needs fixing (too many to list here) -Side activities · This games desperately needs some minigames and small, non-combat activities to do. The extra bad: - CLOTHING: "Style over substance"- is one of the core tenents of this universe. Before the release CDPR showed those different stylistic choices (entropism, kitsch, neomilitarism and neokitsch) but the clothes belonging to those styles aren't consistently found within the game world. You have stores around the city but there's no indication what store sells what and their inventory is really lackluster. See that cool jacket on the rack or that pair of shoes on the shelf? Too bad, they're just a prop. Same goes for NPC clothing as well. The NPC's are wearing so much cool stuff but you don't get to wear any of that. - ROMANCES: (WARNING, SPOILERS) After you've banged your romantic interest, there's no follow up. You get no meaningful opportunities to keep in touch or go on a date or even bang again. I couldn't even sleep at River's or Judy's house after the romance questline was over. Sure River texts that: "we should do it again, got a few new tricks to show you" but this doesn't lead to anything. -AI: See video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IPRjzrHvak Cannot recommend this game in this state, even though it had some memorable moments.
