On top of all the balancing issues, nonexistent A-life, terrible performance, and braindead AI you've already seen in other reviews the main story is just so ridden with hard and soft lock bugs that it is genuinely unplayable in its current state. Once you reach a certain point in the story, entire settlements on the map start to get wiped out due to bugs preventing you from doing the quest to save them, quest vital characters are locked behind doors that are bugged shut, and the game crashes incessantly. Up until about halfway through the story the game is mostly bug-free and it's painfully obvious exactly where in the development they ran out of time/budget to properly test and QA. In its current state it's half of a functioning game sold at full price.
-Nonexistent or extremely basic NPC AI for navigation through the city/reacting to combat/player interaction -Really dated, boring "higher level, number go up" gear progression. -Extremely clunky first person movement that feels more like the optional first person mode in a primarily third person game. -Absolutely NO customization of your character or vehicle outside of clothing (which are tied to stats further limiting your choice) or just buying a different model of car. -Boring skill trees of which 85% are just passive stat increases with certain gear Came in with tempered expectations but almost everything in this game feels like a half-baked placeholder or something thrown in haphazardly to provide another talking point during a press release.
