I'd be lying if I said I wasn't expecting a lot more. The game is not terrible, but it also isn't great. The story line is the main saving grace of this title, that I'd give 4/5 stars. However, the rest of the game is medicore. The 'Living World' is like a 2D image, it lacks depth. Turn 180 degrees, then back again and the people/cars all change and respawm - breaking any immersion. However, apart from getting in your way they serve no purpose. The world is boring. Perhaps we're spoilt with titles like GTA V or RDR2, but in those games you could actually watch some pretty entertaining situations with NPCs, or provoke them into something cool. This just isn't there in this game, they are like gold fish, some might enjoy watching them move randomly - I find it utterly boring. Cars handle in some weird way, I know it's set in 2077 but it seems friction laws change in the future. Trying to drive without bouncing of every thing in sit is certainly a required skill, but even when you get better it never feels 'Fun'. In GTA is was great to drift around a corner, or skim betweens cars. And when you messed up, some NPC might get out of this wrecked car and lay you out - don't expect this in CP77, they just drive on like nothing happened. Also, the sense of speed is just not there. Doing 50mph or 160mph, both feel slow and uninteresting. Others have mentioned, but not being able to re-bind keys - common....The 'X' and 'C' keys should be further apart for the role they play in combat. Gun play - its 'ok' - but there is nothing new here. It feels less refined than most 'shooter' games. The melee isn't anything amazing either - I'd almost say Mount and Blade feels more satifying swinging a sword. Performance / Stability - Lets just say this game needs more time to 'bake'. I'm sure CDPR will get it fixed, but come back in 6-9 months if you don't want stupid shit (or crashes) to ruin your experience.
