Cyberpunk 2077

Great but missing depth beyond the story

I'm on PC and I really enjoy this game (84 hours at the time of this writing). I didn't start playing until patch 1.04 was released so I missed most of the bugs. The issues that don't affect my rating: 1) Driving is a bit messy on keyboard/mouse, especially with the higher-end vehicles as hitting the 'w' key causes the car the peel out and if you have to hit left or right as you accelerate, you can easily begin fish-tailing. Seems like it was designed for a controller with smooth acceleration capabilities. 2) The gear. There are a lot of different looks you can have for your character but if you want good gear you have to skip 95% of what's available so you really don't have the ability to customize your outfit. It seems unfortunate that the devs designed so much variety but it basically all either gets sold or broken down for parts. 3) It's insanely easy. Very early on hard/very hard it has a few challenging parts but once you start getting lvl 20+, the game, even on very hard, becomes very easy. Later on I stopped having to really try at all, I just walk in and kill people without ever having to worry about my health. At high levels you almost become god-like. Why 4 stars: Outside the main story, there is very little depth. I love the npc's, they are all well-written and a few npc's have quest lines but because the quests are spread out in game over time, it seems more like the same person hires you a few different times. There's no time to get invested in their stories. I would have loved to see more in-depth side stories, even if some of the one-offs had to be dropped. Quality of quantity. As it stands now, you can just run from job to job, one after another, killing and/or stealing then moving on to the next, it feels more like a day job, making deliveries (of death), instead of going on an adventure. What's good: Basically everything not listed above. If the side-quest world was more fleshed out, this game would be amazing.
