I didn't expect to love the story and the characters so much what a great surprise! I love the Cyberpunk atmosphere and how you're always reminded of the setting. The side quests are as interesting as the main story in my opinion. I actually really enjoy doing the side quests. The ability to mod the game is incredible, I could customize so much things I didn't like in the game that's really a nice addition. For example I didn't like how much weapons you could shoot at someone before he dies so I installed a "realism" mod and this is a whole new game to me. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because of its current state. I only encountered a small amount of minor bugs so that's not the issue for me. The issue is the missing features. It really feels like there could be so much more in the game. Simple example: 5 Maelstrom members are attacking a business owner so I'll kill them to help him, which is something rare in Night City! Then once it's done the NPC I just saved won't move, do anything or even say anything (he won't even say thank you). This is a simple interaction that gives so much importance to what you're doing. Overall it doesn't feel like you can leave your mark on the world. You could kill thousands of people in several gangs without having to fear being chased or not being able to come back to your home because of how much police is looking for you! I really hope the game will have some features added because it could be so much more with such simple features added. Hoping for the best.
TLDR: Buy the game on sale and try to give yourself some challenges if you think the game is too easy. » Pros - The visuals and the atmosphere are great (the music really adds to the game) - The gameplay is simple but feels great - The game's difficulty is decent. Hard if you don't play games a lot, normal if you're an average gamer (could be really easy for hardcore gamers) » Cons - The game is too short for a 30$ game (maybe we'll have content updates in the future?) » Mixed - The replayability isn't really great as you only have the main story to follow and maybe find the collectibles you don't have yet. On the other hand you can challenge yourself by not using any ability or any upgrade.
