Came back to this for the 2.0 update and DLC. It's fixed and it's incredible. Easily the most fun I've had with a game this year outside of Baldur's Gate.
I am a massive fan of the Witcher franchise, including CDPR's game series. I think CDPR did a fantastic job adapting the books to the game format and exploring some bold narrative spaces within the fantasy genre. So I was hyped for their take on the cyberpunk genre.
There's a long list of things I like about this game but a slightly longer list of things I don't like. There are moments of utter brilliance but I come away feeling like there's a ton of wasted potential here. I think the biggest bummer for me is that they don't take advantage of the narrative possibilities of cyberpunk at all. They settle for a pretty generic narrative arc for V. They build intricate and beautiful scenery that feels empty once you look closer.
Ultimately, I think it's a good game with some serious flaws that I had some fun with. However, I'm looking for more right now and I just don't care to see it through. I'll return to it at some point.
