In the top 5 games ever made and my personal fav of all time.
I can't really add any new words of praise that haven't already been said by the community. This is truly a masterpiece that deserves all the love it's gotten, not to mention that we can expect the game to improve as they release new updates, features, etc. Definately worth full price If you're like me and enjoy taking advantage of every quest, dialogue, scene, etc. you'll get at least 100-120h of pure bliss out of it. I ended my campaign at about 130h. The only bad sides (in my opinion) are: -Could have stayed in development a bit longer to fix some bugs (especially around dialogue triggers) -The ending (got the good one) was lack luster and definately seemed put togheter last minute both in terms of content and visuals Other than that...spectacular!
Does this game have some great elements in it? Yes, of course. Can it satisfy most goody goody players, yes. Do they give you the illusion of being able to play a believeble evil aligned character? maybe just the illusion of it. the worst 5y old child's magic trick type of illusion, but ya. As it stands, with all the bugs, inconsistent voice acting or lack there of, horible Evil aligned dialog options/basic reactivity from the world to your actions, I can't give it a higher score. I wanted to love it, cherish it, adore it, but it just let me down in some many way. But like I said, if you enjoy playing only good characters, save the world type of heroes, never have a deeper more interesing motivation than "I'm good, cause" type of characters, and never experience deeper reasoning behing evil actions other than "I'm evil, I kill all for no reason", then this is the game for you! GG
After playing the game for over 100h, I can't but feel...cheated. I think that if CDPR would have launched the game on the 10th of Dec as an Early Access build, they would have saved themselves a lot of well deserved headacke. PROs: -Awesome city & great architecture with great potential (although is mostly potential, with not much realized yet) -Great cast of characters with a good, but not great, story -Great voice acting -Cyberpunk...altough this is not something that CDPR created, i'll consider it a win :)) CONS: - Unfinished in its technical, design and physics aspects, which if you search for comparison videos online, you'll see exactly what I mean. Ffs, this game doesn't even have effects for bullets hitting the water. -Bugs are legion -Not an RPG -Story is on rails -Choices don't matter -The loot/gearing system is in conflict with your ability to customize your character -The police system is infuriating and should have been reason enough not to launch this game yet -The perk system is a joke & unbalanced. Most of the "skills" are % multipliers, so everyhing goes out of control once you start stacking some modifiers -Cars feel like they are floating for the most part. Some of the worst car driving mechanics I've ever had the displeasure of playing with, -Horrible, down right atrocious AI. I would have never expected this from an "Nex-Gen" title or CDPR. -Map is full of boaring "events", that are meaningless. -Factions don't matter. Any enemy is pretty much the same as the rest. -There is no reputation system -The Cyberware system is lackluster and is a huge missed opportunity. -No-brainer Quality of Life Features are missing or poorly implemented I could go on and on, but it's not worth the effort, just like this game is not worth your money. Maybe wait for a sale or some patches, although I don't really know if they can fix a lot if this stuff. Very dissapointed in you CDPR! And in myself for pre-ordering. It will not happend again.
