I love point and click adventure games. I love David Lynch. I even like some gameplay-lite games like Edith Finch, Gone Home, Firewatch and oxenfree. This is awful pretentious claptrap. One of the worst games I’ve ever played. Nothing happens. It’s just hours of meaningless text that reads like someone wrote it after 2 bags of mushrooms. If this is what gaming journalists think of when they reference “games as art” the medium is doomed. I would avoid at all costs. I wasted 15 bucks and feel like a total schmuck for it.

Bar none one of the worst games I’ve ever played. Pretentious annoying claptrap that could be forgiven if there was any gameplay to speak of. Horrible

I pre-ordered this game in June 2019. I loved Witcher 3. This was probably my most anticipated title of the last 5 years. And I was astounded at how bad it was. Not since Skyrim on the PS3 have I encountered a game this broken that actually made it on to store shelves. Returned the game after 5 hours of playtime. The game was stuttering in the intro before I even pushed start. I could barely see anything in the tutorial (no amount of gamma adjustment fixed it). Every NPC, Enemy, Hackable, and loot pickup was a blurry mess until you got about 2 feet and even then some things wouldn't clear up. And then when you finally get to the actual game world? Sweet mother of mercy. Anything that isn't scripted almost always breaks. The AI in top down sprite based RPGs from the Super Nintendo era was more intuitive. The crashes start soon after you get into Night City proper. Its bad. Its really really bad. I fully recognize that this game was going to perform better on PC vs last gen consoles. But there is no excuse for what happened here when you have open world titles like Horizon, Spider-Man, and RDR2 that look and play very well on the PS4. There is a gulf of difference between a performance downgrade and this disaster. This developer (CDPR) and publisher (WB) have squatted and delivered the fecal icing on the 2020 cake. Avoid at all costs.
