The graphics are amazing if you don't move, and nothing else moves on screen. However, the story, and the way you interact with it is truly a mess. Disregarding all bugs (CDPR will eventually fix all of these). The story is by far, one of the worst things written in 20 years. After 50 hours and on act 2 I give up. All endings are dreadful and pointlessly dark. First they present your character, and then your partner. Which you are supposed to bond over in a short time lapse "montage", instead of actual gameplay (why would anyone approve of this?). Next you become somebody completely different, removing all interest you have vested in the player. From here on nothing is interesting, and the "fun" in game comes from -not- doing the main quests. Johnny Silver hand parts are VERY out of place. It almost like they came up with the character after the game was finished, and just injected him here and there. Every time there is a chance to get involved in the story, this guy just shows up and ruins it. The inventory is a chore, and the UI inefficient. Driving is so bad, I basically just walked everywhere. The effects that some pore people are getting seizures from, are truly annoying, and they come often! The romance-missions are so delicate, easy to miss. Had to reaload hours and hours of gameplay, and still fail. A single missed entry will cost you the romance. When a conversation prompt shows on screen, there is a timer for added effect (dyslexia?). Also the player doesn't say what is written on-screen. When you choose a line, the audio and story is completely different. This removes you completely from the player. What I enjoyed: Sidemissions that varied from each other, however, most where "fetch this", or "kill these". The City is beautifully designed! The various non main story line characters are interesting, and nicely done. The possible romancing options are fun. The cars look good and sound great. The number of weapons and clothes are equally good!
