I am actually surprised how good that game is. Honestly. I mean, i knew the N64 version and i knew the reputation of the game in general. But thinking of all the new retro games like Wrath etc. that simulate the old Quake stuff - Daikatana actually plays and feel like those. And it's fun. The cutscenes, the ambience and sound, the world's style: if not a hidden gem, it feels a little underrated by now at least.
To be honest, the ungratefulness for games like that even being made, makes me sick. The immersion of the world is more than the usual mainstream-content-overkill since Skyrim. You have to discover it. Plus, it is all one, no separeted cineastic parts with no connection to each other. The world has a history you can discover everywhere, own style (and history of that style), factions making sense and characters behaving logically in the boundaries of their faction and background. In that point Cyberpunk is way more MORRORWIND than GTA. Anyone complaining about bugs and glitches in the PC version (!) just dont have anything to complain anymore i guess. There are no game-breaking bugs in that version. Remembering all the quests in Skyrim you could only finish with console commands? I had ONE little side mission at a building i could not complete and that's it. The glitches are nothing to what you experience in other games of that size. It is a finished game. Besides, everyone knows, you have to save often in RPGs, especially in open-world ones. Two things that mock me are: 1) missing sounds and 2) just things in detail they could have been done better with more time in the whole quality process. But to be honest, im glad they released it. At the end of the day you want to earn money with the game. Eventually, i cant stop admiring the whole artwork of it. Just LOOK at this world, really use your eyes. It is an amazing work. If you can't even notice and appreciate it, then go on playing arcade games. Sorry for saying that. Let's not forget about the policy on releasing the consoles version. But talking about PC, it is a great RPG with so many different pathways and conclusions you only experience after a long time playing it. I would give 4/5 points, because the games has so much potentiall you just want to have it better in many ways. But because of the unfair and highly irrational critics i decided to honor the attempts of RP and give 5. Thank you!
