I am unsure about this game, Cyberpunk is at its heart an alright game, but there are several factors that I think are problematic
- The game design feels dated, like something made in the early 2010's, with some sections reminding
me of Assassin's creed, mainly with the Gigs; multiple go in and steal/kill/hack said object and leave
area.
- PC controls are "interesting", there isn't anything inherently wrong with them, however having
double tap movement key for dash, no dedicated holster button or the skip button being the same
as the crouch button can get quite frustrating.
- There are too many gameplay affecting bugs, I have encountered a bug where I can't use any
motorbikes because the front wheel clips through the ground, I can't tell you how many floating
phones, T-posing civs and immortal enemies I have encountered in the first 5 hours.
- The game includes a stealth tree, however the stealth in this game is almost non existent, it seems
like enemies have a 180 degree cone of visibility and anything outside that cone doesn't exist,
simple and not effective
I don't believe that these issues are from overhyped expectations, rather it is from a rushed development cycle, I think about what the initial promises were back when the game was first announced and how much they have had to cut back since then, I would argue that instead of spending time and money into putting Keanu in the game, more time and money should of been used for QA or keep the more complex ideas in the game and take more time developing it.
I will continue to play this game until I have finished it, but for newcomers I would recommend you wait around a year after launch, most bugs and issues will be solved by then, just like the Witcher 3.
