I fully enjoyed the story and many of the sometimes long side missions. Close to the Witcher 3 in detail, length and immersion. The character and NPC animations are the best ever seen. Music is spot on for the theme, love the 80's/90's synth music feel, some of it is a bit DOOM Eternal'ish, not a bad thing. People rave about Fallout New Vegas, great in its day, but that seriously does not even come close to this except perhaps in more meaninful dialog choices. Combat is OK but after a while you stop caring about weapons and crafting and just use the best guns you've collected. NPCs are a bit too much 'bullet sponge' Vehicles look fantastic, sound good, but driving them is kinda frustrating, maybe its because the handling doesn't really match the game, and the minimap needs to auto zoom out while driving. GTA5 certainly does driving better. Keyboard mapping is a disaster though. F to interact ?. Bad idea to use double tapping direction keys for dodging (causes quite a few offended characters). No ability to walk at a leasurely pace unless using controller, you are basically jogging everywhere. What do I mean by hollow world? - Well crowds of NPC's in the streets are great and all but they are just eye candy. You can barely interact with them. There reactions are dull, often plain stupid. Would be great to have more interesting ;) interactions with them as they do look good. Would like them to feel more alive, have better AI. Also need to be randomized better. If you can create your character why are the NPC's all just presets and not with randomised hair, augmentations, face, body skin etc. ? With the adult theme of the game it really needs more in depth romance and.. cough! adult ;) options. I thought it would be better than Witcher 3, but sadly not. So I will give this a decent score only because I'm sure in time (that CDPR still needed) things will be improved on many of these fronts, as they did with Witcher after release. Chrome fingers crossed.
