I enjoyed this game much more then the last two entries.
I like Monkey Island but the way you control Guybrush in this game is bad.
It is rather simple but still entertaining. I like the way the story is told
Glad I got this for free
The game look great. That's about it or at least that's the positive thing I have to say about it. I read articles that say that the game was finally in the good graces of gamers at Steam but I can't understand why? Everything this game does was done better by another company that took a crack at an open world game. Even if CDPR planned on making this the best Cyberpunk game they could it feels half-assed even without the shitshow that was their launch. And I wanted this game to be good, more than I care to admit. I loved the Witcher and I loved the third installment (although I never finished it) and I thought that this could be a Red Dead Redemption 2 sort of game from CDPR. But alas it is not. Not even close. Three years after launch, there are still numerous bugs and crashes so much so that I just play the game to get it over with. Just so I feel less stupid for having to spend money on this when it came out. I don't even know why I am writing this review. Ever since this was spewed out of CDPR I feel like there is no more chances that an actual good game can be created that won't be disappointing for one reason or another (be it performance, DLCs or in game purchase bullshit). Even the story is just unloaded onto you, including all the different words that are used in this universe. And if you are like me you'll have a hard time adjusting until you understand what the hell any of it means. I guess my best example is that I didn't understand what "ADS" meant when looking at scopes for guns, until I read in a description of a sniper rifle that this meant aiming down sights. But this wasn't an explanation. It was just flavor text and I accidentally read it. Because ADS was not in the glossary. Go figure. But at least i know what a choom is. Huzzah! So if you would ask me if this game is worth buying, the answer is simple. No. Watch a Let's Play instead and spend your money on something that makes you happy or at least gives you the feeling of a good investment.
I really wanted to like this game because latley I am feeling the need to play a economic sim and this one even had RPG elements. What could go wrong? Well not everything, but too much. First the good part: I liked the atmosphere and the story (from what I have seen) seemed to be interesting. There is a lot to do and a lot to explore and find out. And this is where we drift into the bad. The game does very little to explain what it wants you to do in the campaign mode. There are objectives and some of them are just nor clear and there is no way to find out what you are supposed to do. The building part, while interesting, is just tedious and not fun. Everyhing has to either has to happen through trail and error or by reading forum entries from other players. The localization in german is half assed and sometimes some text pops up in french for some reason. You can't restart a mission since there are no checkpoints. So you either saved befor you did anything or you are screwed. Some people in you tavern sometimes have Quest markers or other markers ovber their heads but clicking on them only moves them around in the tavern and for some missions. Your employees get stuck in conversations, while smoking or in the environment and most of the patrons complain that your service is lackluster no matter how many people you employed to serve them. I know that this review is a little all over the place but I just thought that I'll write this review since it really frustrated me to play this game after I wanted it to be good so badly. But alas, this is not the game that scratches that itch and also I really didn't enjoy myself.
