An amazing update that completely overhauls so many of the games mechanics and adds so much more replay value to me.

The perk system has been vastly overhauled so now you actually get cool new abilities for different builds, rather than the boring passives you used to get. Investing in Technical lets you get more and more cyberware, investing in Body lets you throw enemies when they're weakened from being hit with melee, etc.

Vehicle combat has been added to the game as well, it's pretty jank, but I appreciate the inclusion anyways.

Johnny's face model also got upgraded so it doesn't look like his beard was drawn with crayons.

Performance wise, the game runs so much better than before, I get consistent 60 fps in anywhere that isn't Dogtown and that's much better than the drops to 40 I'd sometimes get.

Overall, I feel the update improved this game from something I felt was a guilty pleasure of mine into something I can proudly boast about. Mostly. As long as it isn't online.
