I didn’t follow the hype during development, just bought it because I was fan of the Cyberpunk genre. I am really enjoying this game and so are people I have spoken to. It looks pretty amazing and is expansive, and the main story and some NPC’s and their plot lines are very uniquely engrossing to me. I have found it hard to do look for side gigs and other activities because I really want to keep exploring the main characters and find out what comes next. But, walking though the city I have gotten involved in several local occurrences which did feel like I just happened upon a random event in progress. In reality there are numerous ones mapped out and waiting for you to find but still have a different setting or situation. Even the number of unique appearances and overheard conversations in the city seems be not repetitive and immense.
The dialogue choices feel limited at first compared to other games which have a more obvious illusion of choice with a direct selection = branch. But my fiends have described events that occurred differently in my play through and there’s been a couple times I reloaded and tried an alternate approach to a scene which ended with a different person or location at the end. So I feel like there may be a more subtle decision tree algorithm at work.
I am reminded of the open world gameplay I had in Fallout 4 (which also had some re-occurring glitches) but with the emotional pull of a singular plot like Last of Us or Horizon Zero Dawn. Hopefully the patches will make this stable enough everywhere that the game can stand on the positive aspects.
I am giving 5 stars based on my experience. I don’t discount the result on older consoles that is unfortunately dominating the launch response. But for the most part I feel like this was a well envisioned product that did live up to my expectations.
On my Xbox One X there is an occasional glitch for sure, but still playable if you have any patience with being set back a few minutes once in a few hours or walking by an odd rendering amidst a massively dense and populated cityscape. The combat has always run smooth for me through my 60 hours of play..
One legitimate warning I will give is that it is set in a dark future and is a mature rated game. At times it doesn’t pull its punches in depicting how some people resort to violence and abuse of others with low value placed on humanity. Not only gangs running the streets, but more individually tragic situations. Most of what I am talking about is related to NPCs that you get a look into their life, but if you are offended it may trigger you. I for one am very happy to have a game like this treat me like an adult because reacting to it and interacting with serious storylines can lead to a legitimate emotional experience that I rarely get in a video game. The major plots have not felt thin or hollow to me.
