The world is still shallow as hell, with nothing really going on in the background as you progress through it. No gang wars, corps fighting each other, NCPD being overwhelmed or anything like that. Yeah there's some instances where the gangs fight each other or the NCPD but they just feel like MMO encounters to me and don't feel dynamic at all which is a shame. Bugs are still a thing, even two years in and cars being stuck in the floor or flying still happens from time to time, not game breaking but seriously killed my immersion in some cases. Hell i played this on the Xbox one s on release, even back then before the patches and the sub 30 frame rate this game was beautiful and you can tell how much effort went into the detail of the city even if it is for show mostly. Now playing on my gaming laptop at ultra settings and man this game is eye candy to me, like i spent way too much time staring into puddles and reflective surfaces with RT on when i was playing round with the graphical settings and it's just gorgeous. Art style, lighting, particle effects etc everything just feels right. Went with the ultra settings with RT off though, still gorgeous just with a better frame rate. So, yeah i think anyone who wants to experience a fairly emotional story with interesting and compelling characters and some really decent side quests i think this a game for you. Had some crashes but that was because the overlay on GOG was turned on and i don't know if that was a driver issue or a game issue so i hope they fix that. This also plays great on my Series S so honestly performance shouldn't be an issue, still a demanding game though in places like jig jig and the aptly named stutter street but other than that I've had an above 60fps experience 95% of the time. I enjoyed it and i got my moneys worth, wish they didn't cut the story in half though :l
