This Visual Novel with a kick has a decent RPG side that suffices enough, but may prove a bit too long for the average player.

It isn't super challenging, but it's also nothing to scoff at. Especially in hard mode.
Art is pretty, not overly simplistic, while having its own charm.
Screenwriting is definitely ok, especially if you consider this to be a 11 years old game.

Waiting to see the sequel to this day and possibly play some spin-offs.

Finally finished after 10 years of this sitting in my Steam account and enjoyed a lot the LorenXElenor romance. Definitely heartwarming.

I'm trying to log this as if I played it years and years ago. For various reasons, including but not limited to the controversial attitude of Bioware towards same-sex romances in the game, and including Tari voice actor being "uncomfortable" in Tali being Bisexual, I always kept the whole ME trilogy away.

Finished this, I've found it aged horribly, but still amazing for 2007. It drags on and most secondary missions are just copy/pasted, cutscenes are super static and combat isn't exactly thrilling... yet, it kept me intrigued. The story is indeed some fine space opera and I enjoyed the game, even if not without issues.

Plagued with glitches, at hotfix 1.63 the game stands as "kinda stable". Can't play it on an HDD, play it on a SSD if you don't want to drown into bugs.

The game itself isn't super amazing: it starts off as a superb RPG, but the more it nears the end, the more it becomes a generic FPS with abilities.

What saved the game for me, though, wasn't the main story, but the details put in the world building and the writing of secondary missions, romances and anything pertaining your "friends". I was absolutely sucked in and eventually enjoyed my time in Night City more than I'll be able to admit.

Wanted to log this now, so that when I buy Phantom Liberty + 2.0 I'll do a log of that alone.
