Initially, I was put off due to the disastrous launch 2 years ago. I was pleasantly surprised that I only encountered minor bugs and no performace issues at all. What makes this game great is the combat, theme and open world level design. The story is good, although the dialog options appear to have little impact overall and feels like you're being spoon fed. It's good, yes, but I agree with other reviewers, the story has too much dialog and cut scenes to the point it can be like watching a film. This really impacts the game's pacing, slowing everything down especially in the more duller parts. The game is very heavy on the sexualization, almost to absurdity which spoiled the experience for me a little. If you can accept those flaws and a few minor bugs then it should be worth your time.
I've heard and read a lot about this being an RPG, it's not an RPG in the sense of a normal computer RPG but in the sense of a tabletop RPG where you "roleplay" a character. This is how it stands out from a traditional point and click adventure game where the character is usually predefined. One caveat, your character must be a mentally unstable alcoholic cop, which is interesting especially with the internal monologue. All point and click adventures have dynamic dialogue and free choice to a degree, I don't agree this is unique or clever at all. This may definitely be a 4 or 5 star point and click adventure game if you enjoy that genre. However, being defined as a RPG, turn based fantasy is misleading and in the case of being turn based, has nothing to do with that genre.
