The writing and the art are both effortlessly fun, funny, charming, inclusive, thoughtful and empathetic. And there's all kinds of porn, too, if you care about such things :P "Kinetic Novel"? Well, the gameplay is essentially "click to read text and look at pictures". Like a visual novel, with less emphasis on choice-based gameplay, and a fixed, non-variable ending. In "Opportunity" you'll sometimes get to make a little choice for the sake of narrative flavour, and sometimes your choices just decide in what order you read certain text sections. Most often you "just" read. You are here to experience, not influence, the story. Can be read for plot and/or "art appreciation" reasons alike.
Bugs and technical difficulties is unavoidable when it comes to open-world games in general, and complex worlds of this ambition level in particular. That is fixable, and something I can live with. What I will dock points for is the things that are (probably) not going to get fixed: the writing. Story, characters, mission types, dialogues... they are nowhere near the quality of The Witcher 3. I want to care about the world and it's inhabitants, and there is very little there to convince me to do that in Cyberpunk 2077. As for the gameplay: The shooting is alright, the driving is awful and the conversations are of varying levels of quality. I regret my pre-order for this, and will not repeat that mistake again. Next time I'll wait a minimum of 1 year (and for a hefty sale) before I pay for another "AAA" game.
