First of all I want to say this game is amazing! The level of lore and thought involved in this game is outstanding, I highly recommend reading and taking your time as you play, look around, read shards and computer messages. My review is of current patch 1.06. My system is i7 5700HQ GTX 970m I run it on a custom graphics setting. Mostly medium, some shadow settings on Low and textures on High. I get around 40-50 fps. Gameplay - 9/10 Gameplay is a lot of fun, there is many ways to play, stealth, Mele weapons, hand to hand, Pistol, Rifle/Assault weapons. I recommend changing your controller/ mouse setting to your preferences. Eg sensitivity. Guns feel great, I mainly use a pistol build personally but have tried them all. Weapons have a unique feel and sound and offer different gameplay depending on Tech or Power weapons. Smart weapons are different and personally, I use them only in trouble as I prefer to aim. Perks and Attributes, Mods and Cyberwear 8/10 Perks offer a range of ability to play your own style. There is many paths and all seam to be fun. You can combine Cyberwear and Mods to enhance your style you chose to play. Visuals 7-10 I gave this a slightly lower rating and you can say it's due to my system, but after seeing many others that play it's a common occurrence. There are some glitches in the game, some with visuals, eg cutscene glitches, weapons disappearing, lighting issues. But overall this game is amazing! Driving 6/10 Driving, like many games aren't perfect, in fact is some ways and this happens a lot. GTAV still has some of the best open-world driving mechanics. Small issues here affecting it. Effects such as Tyres blowing up on burnouts/ shooting them should be added and different animation when hit by a vehicle. Overall 8/10 I would class this as a pre-build. I highly recommend this game, the gameplay is a lot of fun, lots of stuff to do, great story, awesome characters in the world. Visual effects will only get better with patches.
