As the title says the game is great. Since the release day I could not get enough of the game. Now let's get this out at the start, yes the game has more than a few bugs. But personally from my 40 hour play through I have not had any crashes, only minor glitches that a quick reload promptly solved. Yes the game could have had better optimisation and a better control scheme but personally it did not effect me that much in on my GTX 1660 TI max-Q laptop graphics card. Yeah I could not play the game at 60 fps (mostly drove at 30fps) but the story was so engaging that I did not mind at all. As for the story of the game I cannot get tired of saying how great it is. I haven't been so moved by a story since the Mass Effect Trilogy(minus the ending). Since the beginning the story is engaging and keeps you fixed to you chair waiting for what's next. Now the side quests are a bit of a mixed bag. There are loads of gigs of quests that one can see on the minimap which are the usual fetch quest, which are great for level farming and making some quick cash. Then there are the side quests which affect the main story and are usually tiered and very engaging. The latter side quests tend to offer an insight on the history of the characters that you encounter in the main quest. Now the combat was really great, the gunplay felt just right with ricochetting bullets, tech bullets which pass through walls, hacking, cucumber chopping hands and Rocky fist fighting. Could not get enough of the combat. You need to keep in mind that enemies do not scale with you though. I really do not know what else I could say except that I really enjoyed this game very much and after I finish this I will go ahead and start my second playthrough as a corpo.
