The game itself is truly stunning, the visuals and the general atmosphere of the game is on point. The action can take a little while to warm up to but when you do it feels fun and allows for some chaos. That being said it also allows for different types of play, hacking stealth etc. Which is always a fun take. I think it's important here to highlight that the game does still have bugs. That being said, i can't name a single game in the past four years that hasn't come out and had bugs like this. This doesn't excuse the fact that there are bugs here and they need fixing. Software development takes time though and I can only imagine the staff are already starting to burn out slightly. A lot of the criticism seems to be centered around either bugs or "not living up the the hype" the latter was always going to be an issue. The Witcher 3 was a masterpiece (again not without its own bugs and problems) so we obviously expected something of this scale in a different universe. I don't think that it is fair to make this comparison personally. The game itself is a gem and had it been released by a different studio, I wonder if it would have gotten the same criticism. TL:DR - The game is visually fantastic and a lot of fun but it is a video game. Not a world you're going to be living in. Once you come to terms with it being just that, it is probably one of the funnest games i have had the privilege to play.
