Game is sublime, unpolished, unfinished
We are being really unfair with CRProject on this issue. Yes, game is buggy, yes it works terrible on XBOX One, ONE S and PS4. Works bad to "Okay" on PS4 PRO and Xbox One X, works bad in some PCs... all this will be fixed, not considering performance some of these consoles are from 2013 by all the gods...
Game has amazing timing on decisions, amazing mood all over, superb arts, politically incorrect topics, dark topics, a good gun play and combat (but a so so AI) it makes me feel I am in "Strange Days" movie or Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, the characters progress is pretty good, the story is catchy, Night City is a place to visit that reminds me of big asian cities I lived on like Shanghai, Hong Kong or Taipei.
CD Project is not Rockstar, they tried to make 9 "sku" all over by themselves, a big too much. They though they could manage it, it was too much, but I know will be fixed.
This is a DIFFERENT game, out of many many stupid new trends... a game that dares to be dark in times all need to be despotically luminous, with games full of violence that explodes in "flowers" of colours all over... critizicing the work of this team is closing the door to someone that dared to do something really different.
Yes, they did some things wrong, but is not like they will not fix it, think about THE WITCHER, the 3 of them. I absolutely recommend to buy this game, maybe not on vanilla PS4 or ONE, but we can also use it later on next gen... I am enjoying it on XBOX SERIES X and I cannot be more happy with it.
I don´t give it 5 stars just because of the mess is the game in aspects for now, but I bet it will deserve 5 stars in less than half a year.
Best of luck for CD PROJECT team, and I really wish you find the strength and time to fix this unpolished diamond.
