Started playing this game in 2023 due to the bad review upon release, that and this game being first person, had a PS5 back then and hate playing first person in this game and fov was locked for PS5.
Fast forward 3 years got a rig with an 13600k and 3090.
The good:
- Great story, multiple branching choices, deep and impactfull and the side quests are up there.
- Great cimematography, the cutscenes take place in places and the set pieces are set up so that the lighting and the atmosphere is just right, sometimes you'll have to skip time just to start a quest.
- Great combat, mele, guns, quickhacks, implants, choose your weapon and go forward, can go stealth or guns blazing, or a combination, example sneak up on enemies quckhack them with contagion and self detonate grenade then quickly jump in and finish them off, sneak and improved tendons/anckles really open up a new verticality to the game you littealy feel like the Predator
- Game is hard, tying it in to the Predator feeling, the game is hard, I only played in hard and legendary but the game qickly kicks your ass, so progressing really scales up nicely keeping the dificulty and also making you feel awesome, just remember kickback is your friend spam it
- Graphics , need I say more ?
- Sound, amazing !
- Customization and misc, Night city offers a huge variaty of things to do, buy cars, apartments, clothing, weapons, just a hint , keep your money for cars and apartments or implants, weapon and armor you'll find. Gigs, cyberpsycos and police gigs are markers and on the minimap and offer a great oportunity to farm money and increase your level, Found the gigs to be the best , you can aproach them however you want.
Cons:
- Bugs! you'll had at least 6 times the game totaly broke on me, didn't knoiw what to do, searched the net, thankfully reloading a save game worked everytime. Small bugs like clipping , invisible characters were few
- Game crashed a lot especially in the item menu, undercloking the gpu fixed it
