Have you played it? Aside from the horrible buggy condition it launched in (most of which is fixed now), it's still an absolutely fantastic game. The story, the music, the character development, are all spectacular, IMO. Honestly, it's in the top 5 for me.

I thought it was really shallow. Nothing seemed to matter, the city was supposed to be one of the main protagonists, but it was just cery shallow, driving is the least fun i've ever had in a game like that, to the point that i never drove anywhere, npc's where a joke, so was the police. Most of the time it was just a Bethesda like "collect garbage and shut up" game. The music and artstyle i found fantastic, the sound design in general was very memeroble, but the game felt shallow and dead.

It feels exactly like Witcher 3 with cars, guns, and less janky combat. There's a lot of people who think Witcher 3 is the best game ever made. I think CP2077 is better than Witcher 3. Of course, I'm that guy who doesn't really love Witcher 3.

Of course, my favorite games are Bethesda "collect garbage and shut up" games. I play them for the story (feel like I'm getting judged for reading Playboy now)

The bugs aren’t even the main problem. The problem was that the game was marketed as “every single decision you make could have massive impacts on the story” and it turns out there’s only one mission near the beginning that can change depending on what you do leading up to it and that’s it. You can make the game completely bug free and it wouldn’t change that the game did not live up to the promises.

That being said, I did enjoy kinda enjoy the game once I accepted it for what it was. Someday, I hope to play the game they were talking about when they were promoting this one.

I must admit I abandoned it after a few hours (bought on launch). I do want to give it another crack soon
