after all the fixes, pretty great. even before the big 2.0 fix I was all-in, had like 8 hours clocked before even going back to Jackie to finish the prolog

there's a lot of fun side stories, great acting all around (especially Keanu playing against type and clearly enjoying the hell out of his role), and plenty of minor diversions.

there's still glitchiness - i've seen cops clip thru the ground a lot, the last couple gigs never spawned, I had a main quest from Phantom Liberty reappear in my quest log, etc.

the difficulty collapses in on itself when you figure out a good build but its still fun to mess around with different weapon types. i basically only used pistols, shotguns, and katanas but they were all satisfying in their own way. chaining headshots with a revolver or dashing in to obliterate someone with a heavy shotgun rocks.

there was stuff i didnt really like - the game trying to push kerry and river as romance options on me when judy is already in my apartment or panam's stoyline in general - but the highs were enough for me to not care.
