Look, I know this is probably surprising considering how many people (my self included) have been absolutely dunking on this game since the moment it was released. However, my experience with this game ended up being a lot more positive than I was anticipating.

Don’t get me wrong, the bugs in this were really annoying, and I think that this is the most a game has ever crashed on me before (a possible tie being New Vegas). Still though, once I settled into the rhythm of the game and updated it a few times, I started having a much better experience. The writing, voice acting and character animations are all top notch, and the quests related to these characters are easily the strongest aspect of the game.

I know there’s a great game buried underneath the clunky mess we ultimately got after 8 long years of waiting, but it’s still a good game and it’s achievements shouldn’t be discounted. I hope the big updates in January and February make an actual difference, and I really hope that if there’s DLC or even a sequel to this that CDPR learn there lesson about the true effects that crunch can have on their workers and ultimately the final product.
