It's got a great starting point with bits of other games mashed together. I like what the dev team is trying to do, I just do not think this is ready, yet. After playing over ten hours and trying multiple times to enjoy a campaign, something happens that isn't explained well, if at all. The game declares war with several of my neighbors suddenly joining against me. Why? Who knows. Did I cause it or did something happen in the world that I wasn't aware of? The UI doesn't explain what happened. I feel like the devs can fix this stuff, and I will be cheering them on to do so because there's a good start to a historical strategy game hidden here, I think. I wish this was in Early Access and I will update my review if the devs solve the many issues.
I love it even more now. Hello Games just keeps on giving to the player-base! If you've doubted, try it out; you won't be disappointed.
I believe any developers out there about to work on a new game should play The Witcher 3 (at least through the Baron quest line!) before venturing forth on their endeavors. It would inspire them to greatness and give them confidence that amazing things can be done - AND be profitable. * DLC that is more than extra game assets (though they have that, too) and doesn't feel as if it was ripped from the timeline just to make more money * Side quests that are involving and interesting * Adult content that is handled tastefully and adds to the story * technology that is leagues beyond what other dev teams are putting out, this gen and the next (from what we've seen from other AAA companies) Just about everything CDPR has done over the years has been friendly to the PC gaming community, as well as redefining the genre of the cRPG; TW3 is an amazing game on top of CDPR's treatment of us PC gamers. Hats off to CDPR and heres to their next effort, Cyberpunk 2077!
