Single completionist playthrough 124.2 hours. I think the low reviews are pretty unfair for what is a large and atomspheric world with some excellent story telling. Pros: Played on a high end PC the world looks amazing. Just driving around night city or sitting in a car ride is amazing. I didn't skip any car rides the whole game. The story writing and characters are strong. After over a hundred hours invested I felt pretty moved by the ending. Sound track is really excellent. Refused did a great job as Samurai in particular. Cons: Graphical glitches are annoying. All my video calls had half the person missing. Johnny's flickering shroud often didn't cover all of him. Randomly stand up with arms streched out while riding motobike. Floating gun in jackies head in a moving scene. Mechanics bugs. Some things just don't work properly eg thrown knives are single use. Component crafting is nearly useless without disabling craftting times. Mechanical enemies drop components that you can't pick up. Some sections are rail roaded and force you into combat no matter how stealthy a netrunner you are. Overall, I really liked it and would say its the best game I played in 2020. I think if CDPR had stopped releasing unrealistic release dates and done better QA this would have been game of the year in 2021 but as it is its still a stong game. 8/10.

Quite a fun old school game, reminds me of some custom ultima online shards I used to play on in that there is quite a lot of crafting. Only 8 hours in to game so far. Pros: Crafting system is cool Magic is fun Skill books give an incentive to explore Atmosphere of the setting is good (at 8 hours anyway) Cons: Graphics dated Crafting system (combine system in particular) is poorly explained and not very intuitive No skill reset and unclear what skills do before purchasng

Just finished the game and I really enjoyed it. The story is good, the skill system is fun (the person who said there were only a few useful skills clearly does not understand how useful some of the skills are), the battles are pretty varied and frantic with unique interactive maps (outside of the couple stealth ones which quite frankly ****). The side quests tend to be quite fun as well. My only gripe (outside of the stealth maps) would be that there was no way to reset skill points spent. It would have been nice to have that feature.
