Cyberpunk 2077

Despite all bugs & issues... GOTY?

None of the bugs I encountered were game breaking, just annoying. I want to make it clear here. Oddly enough the true star of CP2077 is not its story, which alone is very good, if a bit short - a balancing act of struggle between V's own survival and helping others. The real stars shining on Night City's sky are the city itself and main characters that occupy it. The design of the megacity is just stunning and rather than being wide and flat as in most other productions it shoots up through the multiple levels of vertical climb where not once I got lost between the levels trying to find my way around it. It feels natural - just like the dark crime infested city of the far future should. It's the characters however that give life to the monolith of this place. They are varied, interesting and most of all give off that hard to explain but easy to feel when experienced vibe of fitting in. And no, I'm not talking about flat random NPCs but those that V has real interactions with. They can range from being rough and tough gang members to insecure, delicate and wounded angels amongst depravity of the dark city - in short they seem real. The side quests design seems similar to that of Witcher 3, you find something or someone somewhere and it opens up a chain of interactions that may vary from few minutes long activities to long, couple of in-game days or weeks chains of tasks and events. I really liked the fact that most of those could be completed in various ways either through talking, fighting, stealth or hacking. It promotes different character builds for different outcomes. Random quests are not as good but they seem to be there just for the level grind. They're not bad but nothing to write home about. The only thing that really grinded my gears was the police that seemed to posses the magical ability to appear out of nowhere behind your back and was much bigger issue taking me out of the in-game World than the bugs ever did. 9/10 - WILL play again.
