Loved the story, world, combat, and voice acting, which really is the essential part. The biggest flaw for me was the level design. It didn't really stop me from enjoying the points above, which is why i'm hesitant to remove a full point, but if I could half a point would have quite deserved. It's not that they're ugly, they just feel way too much like video game levels. It's probably partly due to how the game sits somewhere between open world and old school 1level/quest format. I don't miss that old school aspect I guess. Like I said, didn't hurt my enjoyment that much, but it's the one thing I'd like to see improve if a sequel comes out.
Technically well made, most bugs have probably been solved at this point because the few I've seen were minor, and fixed with a quickload/quicksave (F4/F9). It must have been a bit too ambitious considering the noise when it came out. The city feels very busy, civilians can get chaotic in a panic which can be funny. Bikes are the best with this amount of traffic. There's lots of gigs and jobs to do, builds to try. I liked the skill and tech trees, in normal difficulty it's easy enough you can manage even if you spread out and try different things. The melee in particular was very decent, which is rare for a fps: I'm usually extremely disappointed because most pale in comparison to vermintide. It's tough in the beginning, but I particularly loved going monowire or baseball bat. The story is great, although a bit of a downer, which does fit the general theme of the cyberpunk world. Side quests were great, brought a lot to the table imo. Feels like i've finished a good book. I definitely expected a lot less, glad to be proven wrong.
