I approached this game trying to play fresh without preconceived notions. . I played on PC with an i5 9600k and 1080ti on ultra and it was very smooth. This is the first game I have played more than a few hrs after the witcher 3 which should indicate how good it is, yes its not perfect but its pretty damn good. Firstly - the graphics are amazing, the level design superb, just driving around looking at the flyovers and buildings is rewarding, if you like the eye candy. The city looks real with loads of NPCs around and the level design is superb. The story and progression drew me in, and I enjoyed playing through the main and most of the side quests. I think most of the detractors were expecting witcher 3 in a cyberpunk universe, but this is unrealistic - this is a great game but the quests/side quests arent on the same level. It is still very good - 'the hunt' I would class as one of the best missions I've done, the content is disturbing but the writers arent afraid to touch on these issues. Overall I would say - ignore the hype and the youtube negativity - this is an excellent game
