It's been two years and they still haven't delivered in their promises, just because a game is 5% less buggy or you have the hots for someoen in the anime doesn't mean they've redeemed themselves with this game. If you like the anime, disassociate your like of that for this game, otherwise you'll be disappointed.
As others have mentioned, it looks great and sounds great, but what's the point when the gameplay is bogus; At the end of the day, that's what a game is, and it's just not here.
A ton of the recent changes are really cringe as well; feels political / ""inclusive"" at times.
I've played the game for around 10 hours and it is awesome. The game does have some minor visuals bug but that's all I've found. The controls take some time to figure out but the gunfights are fun and exciting. The melee combat is on point. The stealth is difficult but realistic. It's a visually stunning game. Great role-playing experience. There are times when you need to have a quick response and there are other times when you can think about what you want to say. The weapons are interesting different sights, firing rates, recoil, and damage. You can play the missions however you want and end up with different outcomes. I played the TTRPG and the spirit of that game is here the feel the emotions.
What I see is a small group of people who dislike the game for reasons other than the game. They jump on here and other platforms to push their political ideology into everything and frankly, the majority of people are getting sick of this bullshit.
I mean sure, I encountered some bugs. Not that many as I expected based on some reviews though. But hey, this game is stunning. With it's overwhelming open world and all the details, all the things you can do and explore - wow.
