I've been playing this game since launch, and despite the issues people reported at launch, it was my opinion that this game was always a work of art. It is my all-time favourite game and I cannot wait for more content from the Cyberpunk universe.
I've played plenty of single-player action RPGs, my original favourite would be the Mass Effect trilogy, but this has surpassed all my expectations. The NPCs may not be as well developed as GTA V, but this game is the best game I've ever played. The largest, most detailed environment, with the biggest scale I've ever seen. It feels like a living city. I pre-ordered it for PC, started playing on launch day and have amassed 1605 hours in the game. Despite the early glitch or two, this game is far better than people are giving it credit for. The updates we've seen and the dedication from the dev team to fix the issues the community has shared is commendable and has been successful. There has never been a better time to play this game. Now for my criticisms: 1) The life paths only give you about 15 minutes of introductory play and then for the rest of the game the only thing they impact is a few non-essential conversation options, they don't have much weight, with a few small exceptions when choosing the corpo start and corpo end in congruence. You'll see. 2) There are a few in game items that you can pick up in game that seem to suggest some quest importance that do not have a corresponding quest. Indicating that the quest they corresponded to was cut from development. 3) My biggest pet peeve is the lack of clothing options for V compared to the clothing the NPCs are wearing. This seems like a superficial gripe, but there's nothing worse to me than seeing an amazing outfit on an NPC and searching all over the city to find the same item only to find out it's not available. Especially for female V. Female V's clothes are so man-ish. Very few feminine options. 4) On the same note, the clothing stores in game, you never know where to find anything you want and have to search the whole city and fast forward time over and over to review their whole stock. Overall my gripes are small. This is my favourite game and I'll buy all upcoming DLC.
