The combat is terrible. Aiming is terrible. Stealth is terrible. The puzzles are terrible. Dialogue is 90% of the game. I know this is an old game. But it is not worthy of all the praise I'm seeing everywhere. I was expecting Spec Ops: The Line, I don't know what this is. A terrible experience all around.
The story is well written and acted out expertly. There's suspense, intrigue, and a little bit of sorrow to be had. Interactions are real and timed perfectly. 9.5 out of 10. The gameplay is good. Sometimes you don't get bullet reg, and when leaning you're bullets can hit the corner you're on. Even though there's nothing there. The double tap to dash needs to go. It's terrible. I've died from falling so many times because of it. Police will randomly shoot you and if you shoot back, the world is after you. I was chased for about 20 minutes. More cops than cars and people combined. Nothing worked to evade them. They popped up everywhere. After about fifteen minutes, I gave up and just stood by a dumpster. They circled me for another five minutes before they left. That had to be bugged. The cops have always been bad, but that was extreme. 6.5 out of 10. The graphics ares good. I've encountered more bugs out of phantom liberty than I did with the original game. I had to turn off raytracing and a few other things. Performance was too bad. 8 fps most of the time. I have a Ryzen 7 5800x, a 3070 gpu, 32 gb of ram, and 1000 watt power supply. The game still looks great with those settings off, but I'm not getting the true experience. Optimization, 6 out of 10. My biggest complaints are the talk to Bill mission is bugged, a lot of original mission are highlighted for me to replay, and the poor performance with Ray tracing on. All in all, I've really enjoyed Cyberpunk 2077. Phantom Liberty just made it better.
I didn't see anything that suggest this is an escape room type of game before I purchased. You wake up in a room and have to find hidden items and read through all of this irritating dialogue. These type of games are terrible. I was expecting a resident evil style game, but with pixel graphics. This game isn't worth $5 let alone $20.
Terrible game. A disservice to Resdent Evil. Not scary, not fun, not worth your time.
This is a great game held back by bugs. It's like Far Cry in the Cyberpunk world. The story live up to the hype imo but the bugs make it unbearable at times. Now that I've beat the game I wish there was more to do.
