This is a solid entry in the open world RPG genre, with it's greatest strengths being its well-written quests and narratives, memorable characters, and detailed yet organic worldbuilding. Most of the main quest and larger side questlines follow a couple of key characters, and I really felt like I got to know them on a personal level - something that no other game has really done for me.

Certainly, the game has flaws and missed potential - combat/enemy AI is just okay, driving controls are pretty janky, customization options are a little limited (skill tree is mostly pretty boring, also no way to change appearance/haircut in game), etc. I also had my fair share of bugs, but nothing game-breaking and the worst of which could be easily fixed by reloading a save.

Overall, this was one of the most immersive games I've played, and I'd definitely recommend it. While it isn't the groundbreaking RPG that it was hyped up to be, it's still a very solid and enjoyable game. Here's hoping that CDPR will continue to fix bugs, add features, and implement quality-of-life improvements to make it even better.
