Cyberpunk 2077

A mediocre experience

This is a game that sets you up for disappointment. Not because it's bad and you're disappointed that you wasted your money on it, but because it's so good you can't help but feel disappointed at the fact that you could have had a better game if it wasn't so short. The different lifepaths idea feels unfulfilled. It doesn't have much of an impact apart from the start of the game. Sure, you'll have a few different lines with characters depending on which lifepath you started with, but that's it. It doesn't give you content exclusive to the lifepaths you choose. The "Braindance" thing is annoying because it sounds fascinating, but it ends up as an underdeveloped concept.It only appears a few times during certain missions. The way it was used feels as if it existed solely for plot convenience. You carry around a headset everywhere, but you don't ever use it apart from the few instances where you are asked to use it for a mission. Customisation in the game is practically non-existent. When creating your character at the start, I was surprised at how limited it was, given the way it was marketed. I was not allowed to customise V's home, nor get new ones by myself (apart from getting new apartments via Judy/Panam/River, where their apartments became mine as well) You cannot customise the cars that you bought either. The game's main story, and world is the most disappointing part. The world, while pretty to look at, feels very empty. The enemy AI is really dumb. The main story feels very abrupt at times, (you get introduced to Jackie, undergo a time skip, suddenly the 2 of you are best buds, then he dies.) The game tells you that you have a choice, but you don't, not really. You just get to choose how you get from point A to point B. I loved the side quests, but there is very little side quests for you to do. I hate that I get attached to characters easily because the game either kills them off, or isn't long enough for you to really get to know them.
