I never got the chance to play the original so I can't comment om how faithful it is to that. However, I will say that the game is absolutley beautiful. With great story and characters aswell as certified spooky™ I highly recommend playing with a high quality controller. (Xbox Series X controller, PS5 controller or 8Bitdo Ultimate 2 for example) The game makes very good use of the controller, especially the vibration/haptic feedback. If you like horror that's more than just lazy jumpscares, then this is for you.
10/10. There aren't enough words in the English language to describe how amazing this game is. This is pure joy and fun in video game form. Extremley talented and hardworking devs, everyone who worked on this game did their absolute best and it shows!
A controller is a must for this game yet it doesn't have controller support, even though the store page says so. Controller input works on Steam and on Epic Games Store but not on gog. Neither Quantic Dream or GOG has done anything about this issue and blatant lie.
I absolutely love everything about this. The story, characters, UI and graphics are all just perfect. Classic CD PROJECT RED quality. The main issues I currently have is that the controls feel a bit awkward, just random mishaps here and there. Like when the game sometimes just decides that I'm not allowed to crouch even though I'm in the middle of a fight. I also don't like that you double tap WASD to dodge, I often find myself dodging on accident. It's early in the game's life. CD Project fixed the Witcher 3 with a lot of patches that made the PC port much much better, like introducing an alternative movement mode that fits more with WASD controls and I'm sure that they will do the same kinds of patches to Cyberpunk after all the feedback. Highly Recommended!
You want an Amnesia game that forgets about everything that the first one did right? You want an Amnesia game where the main character constantly talks and completely ruins the emersion? Then this is for you. The characters are boring and the game constantly and consistently interrupts the game with flashbacks to interactions you had with these other characters that you have no reason at all to care about. The gameplay is there, yes. But the immersion is completely non-existing, might as well play without headphones in a well-lit room. I genuinely can't believe Frictional Game is behind this, they of all people should know what makes Amnesia great. This game is unfortunately a total miss.
You can download the game drm-free with the gog downloader. Multiplayer still needs the gog galaxy servers though but that's just for online. You can still play local multiplayer. Point is, you NEED the gog servers to play online. How else would you play it? But the game is still drm-free if you download it through the gog downloader.
This game is extremley good. Amazing music, great gameplay and it has a really nice atmosphere to it. The only thing that's kinda... Off, is the learning curve. The game get's way to hard way to fast... Or maybe I'm just terrible at the game. It doesn't really matter, buy this game. It comes with Rayman 1 (ofcourse), a level editor and extra levels. It's a really great deal.
