Cyberpunk feels for me like the greatest RPG of the decade. It revolutionizes the mechanics of side quests, character development and without any doubt lays emphasis on ones decisions. One can discover the game anew simply by changing V's origin.
My ratings of individual aspects of the game:
- GAMEPLAY (9/10) - every single main quest is in fact well polished,
unaffectedly making up a piece of the entirety, the immersiveness at this point stands on a high level, but IT IS NOT A GTA SERIES! - that's why one should not expect neither police chases, nor any of those details, which are present in that series, simply because this game does not need it/ originally it was supposed to tell us a story and let us feel it like it concerned us personally! It is not an equal sandbox, sadly gets ruined when interacting with NPC's on the streets (hardly no Artificial Inteligence),
- STORYTELLING (11/10) - that's what CDPR is well known for, IN MY OPINION the best told story in the gaming industry - touching, addictive, etc., everybody should consider coming thourgh it,
- GRAPHICS (10/10) - a truly next-gen look, sadly should get a better optimization, particulary on odler consoles,
- WORLD (10/10) - huge but not lifeless unlike some opinions claim it to be, great looking, climatic both in the city centre and on the outskirts, nearly everywhere one can come across any activity,
Of course, like everything on earth it is not perfect at all. Bugs may be an issue for some time, but as far as I know from my experience, CDPR shows concern for the player and it will make plenty to meet our expectations. My high note refers to the ENTIRETY of the game. The complexity and minuteness of every detail make me feel the climate of Night City and finally enjoy it sooo much.
