I played this on release and boy was it some hot garbage. I'm happy to see it's grown into what everyone wanted it to be. It wasn't perfect. There was way too much pointless content. So many gigs. Some of the main story quests felt pointless too. A lot of dead ends that didn't amount to anything. Where this game excels though is in it's world building and character connections. I've never wanted to live in a place more than I do Night City. And given how much of a cesspit it is that's a big compliment.
