The combination of incredible stories, decision-making, gameplay, voice acting, and emotion in this game is phenomenal. Everything you do in Night City impacts how you finish the story. The relationship you have with characters depends on your decision-making which is why you feel so invested with the outcomes of each character. Not to spoil anything, but this game is pretty dark as you're living in a dystopian society. Although the story is dark, the creators do a great job of bringing substance and bittersweet moments through friendships/relationships in an environment that is setup to be quite the opposite. Yeah the initial release to this game was quite bad, but after many bug fixes and updates this game is a 10/10 in my book. Do yourself a solid and just play this game.
