… so, I do it here
The graphics do show their age, but maybe I raise the bar a bit too high. Maybe.
One issue are the characters. They are forgettable and it's very hard to build a relationship with them, with few exceptions. 'V' has that terrible brutforced voice over "please like me". 'V' should have been from the get-go on par with Adam Jensen from Deus Ex, or Joel Badass from the Last of us. Why to create such a weak protagonist is beyond me.
The tremarkable open world of Night City is a gem and leaves you hours of exploring the dark and wicked parts of this Cyberpunk environment. CD Red dit a fantastic job. 100%
The controls feel solid. The interasctions and button combos don't make sense at time and can be frustratingly overcomplicated especially for people with motoric disabilities. This makes Cyberpunk to the most unfriendly game and should be played by people without any disabilities. A game pad can help, but not everyone does have a gamepad or can use one. Big MINUS
The Story is only a bonus and feels detached. I personally got more story out of Mass Effect, Deus Ex and the Last of us. I thought I get something similar with Cyberpunk.
Cyberpunk remains a disappointment.
