Another terrible sonic game. Except this one is somehow worse than the others

The Good: They included some good mechanics from Legends Arceus. Pokemon look pretty good actually. The Bad: Same exact gameplay and story as every other game from the past 20 years. The Ugly: This game is ugly as sin. There is absolutely no excuse why this looks like an N64 game. It's not because the Switch is weak because BOTW and Xenoblade look incredible. Constant pop-in 10 meters in front of you, any npc beyond 10 meters has their animations reduced to 5-10fps, lighting is flat, mesh work looks like Super Mario 64, textures are really low resolution. At least Legends Arceus had a good art style, this is a complete mess of an art style. Somehow even with all the non-existent draw distance, the game still has trouble running at 30fps! ...Yet somehow this game has outsold God of War Ragnarok, quite possibly the biggest contender for GOTY (as well as Elden Ring). If that's not the saddest thing you've ever heard, I don't know what is.... Makes me sad that one of my favorite franchises growing up has stayed stuck in the early 2000s both in technology and gameplay wise.

My favorite game of all time. Still playing it 10 years later thanks to the modding community

CDPR should be proud of their hard work here. Cyberpunk 2077 is absolutely glorious in all its spectacle and whenever I enter the game, my breath is taken away. Very impressed with the motion capture they've done. The animations are very natural and fit seamlessly within the game world making the NPCs feel alive. Voice acting seems excellent so far, and the soundtrack is pretty good, although I wish we had some more Bladerunner influence in it. That being said, I've encountered several visual bugs; the worst of which was two NPCs sitting in the same chair clipping through each other, but absolutely nothing game breaking of any kind. Performance seems alright, but even on a RTX 3090 at 3440x1440p with ultra RT and DLSS Performance mode, I've seen the fps dip into the mid 40's several times. It sucks, but I'll end up turning down some settings anyway. It's always possible that the ultra settings are more of a future proof just like Rockstar did with the RDR2 PC port. Once they iron out the visual bugs and optimize the performance a little more, this will be one of the best open world games ever created. Bugs can be fixed, but bad gameplay cannot. (Although it looks like the base PS4 and Xbox One got screwed over...yikes!) EDIT: After playing the game further, I have decided to take off a star mainly for the AI, or the lack thereof. At surface level, the game feels very alive and dense, but once you hone in on the NPCs in the world, you'll discover that all they do is just wonder around aimlessly. Disappointing since CDPR kept playing up the NPC schedules and the day and night cycle. I don't think the NPCs in cars even have AI...seems like they're literally just driving a predetermined path... That and there are other things where they clearly cut corners like the apartment having no utility, no way to customize your character after the beginning, can't interact with most things in the world, and the lifepath not mattering as much as they made it seem. Thankfully, most of this can be fixed, so for now it's a 3.5 out of 5.

This game was awful. Constant reused areas and concepts. Same bosses over and over. Story was decent though

They completely butchered Dimash's performances by cutting it to 1 minute and 30 seconds even though he actually performed the whole song there. RuPaul's comment on why Dimash dropped out is one of the most disrespectful things I've seen on live TV. Not to mention eliminating the TNT Boys because of maturity. Disgraceful show
