There is alot to like about this game , even if there are some parts I would love to see expanded on. Still there are very few things that I really dislike or think is bad. Still I willstart with the bad things. Beside perhaps that by the end of the game at least on a normal difficulty you will get quiet op. You will probably one hit about everything, witch I guess in a way is great since it gives stealth as a good options. However when you get can get into firefights with multiple people and you firstly can take alot of damage , but you also hits alot with your shotgun, sniper, pistol etc in the head like is about nothing. Yeah the balance is a little weird, but then again I am not to bothered.

So for the gameplay overall. I think it works. I think is quiet alot better then witcher 3 in this regard or atleast regarding is combat. And yes I have around 500 Hrs in w3 on my ps4. There is alot of way to build you characters, like to you want to go melee, stealth with pistol or melee weapon, do you want to hack you way trough alot of stuff. Do you want to go gun blazing or something in between. Is quiet good. I also feel there is enough variety in weapons and equipment. Same with that most mini games in this game is simple enough even if there could be some more like dart or billards or something.

The cyberware is also a fun aspect witch can be used to tailor you character to a more speciality or more jack of all trades if you want , this also count for the skill system. With alot of different and good skils. I also like that you cant have every skill.

With that said I kind of wished you could have played it in third person

The character creator for it being their first time is quiet good. And there is portion of it that I kind of wish more games did or had, especially an option that makes sense for a female characters or at least to some extent, and to some extent more then if you playing a boy/male character. Now I still wish more games this one included when it came to dialogue etc , that characteres reacted a little more to how you looked, dressed, your body build etc at least to some more extent. To take account of all variables would be near impossible or at least hard, but that it would take to account some of them would be a litt bit good.

For the quest I think most is again good , there are some that are quiet basic like kill that guy or hack that computer. But, there also some quest chain that is partof multiple side quests. However to bad at least one of those are a little incomplete. Most quest let you solve them in sort of different way regarding is gameplay and some has multiple choises regarding dialogue. And alot of the major side quest is just good either to level design, the story for the quest, the characters involved. There is also some single quest here that is just excellent.

For the dialogue I find the dialogue overall good and if there is only one thing I would like more of , then is some more dialogue with the potintal romance interest. Like more options or more dialogue with them when they are staying at your place. I played mostly without mods and the only mods i used in the later part of the game was two mods regarding Judy romance, not essensial, but helps a little. I also liked it regarding the phone and message system to, at a little bit more of interactivity.

So regarding expanded on. It would be a little more reactivity to perhaps your apperance, how you look, clothes, that some characters reacts especially if you suddently switch outfits alot. And perhaps even more messages ,especially from you love interest ( helps a little with a mod tough). I would also like that they joined you on mission, if you needed help or were in a tough sitatuion that sometimes they would actually come to your aid. Or that the waited outsided with a car. All of these are minor

The story is good, especially for this genre. With alot of different themes. The characters are overall good. The game is quiet dark. Is not a happy game. Still does have some emotinal moments, and the ending I got was somewhat happy I guess. The character arcs is quiet good. The game isnt afraid to show dark things or showing that their are no happy endings.

I really liked the games setting, atmosphere. Travelling around the city. The city itself is great.
The music I also quiet good. And the song I Really Want to Stay at Your House has to be among my all time favs.

Highly recommended.
