This game isn't ready for PC or consoles and requires at least another year of development time. The A.I for NPCs is clearly rushed, offering no depth to the world and the number of glitches is simply staggering. The A.I cannot respond to the world and the player to anywhere near close to a convincing manner, which is a shame as this has been done to a better standard in games from 2 decades ago. There are times when this game looks fantastic but character animations are stiff and jarring on the whole, including facial animations (we're talking comparisons to Mass Effect Andromeda here). The gunplay is great, but all of this comes crashing down all too regularly. Characters are one-dimensional and inspire very little empathy or consideration from the player (apart from Jackie). There were many points in the story where I was left asking 'why do I care?' which is in stark contrast to something like The Witcher. Beyond the technical problems the bigger problem is the writing - it isn't good and will not be fixed in any patches. It seems at times like a kid has written the dialogue trying to make it edgy but it just falls flat and most of the time makes you cringe - this could definitely be my own personal preference though. It simply isn't ready and reeks of mismanagement. A huge shame but hey, this is what happens to companies sometimes. They really have a lot to prove in 2021 and I imagine they will have to pencil in a lot of improvements for 2022 as well, because none of the technical issues are quick fixes. Good luck CDPR!
