reinstalled to check out gyro with the steam controller only to realize i was like 5 hours away from finishing the game when i dropped it around this time last year just finished it, here's my review from backloggd

A fantastic and gripping story backed up by incredible performances but unfortunately the surrounding parts are all really weak. Combat is so easy and enemies provide such little challenge that it feels almost pointless in its entirety. About half way through the game I switched to using a throwing knife for like 99% of combat scenarios and it was still unbelievably easy. Night City is beautiful but it's nothing more than a movie set. The city is completely dead and there's no reason to explore and try to discover the city, there's just nothing there. Driving is also really, really bad. Hacking is intially interesting but it quickly reveals itself to be shallow and you'll likely end up just using the same 2-4 hacks for the entirety of the game cause despite the variety of hacks most are pretty much the same in use. The overall presentation, characters and writing are undeniably great but everything else is so underbaked that it took way too much away from the experience for me.

3.5/5

Hmm, "finished" the game after 80 hours....still had a bunch of side quests/with phantom liberty barely scratched the surface

But yk what

F*** it, had V take the easy way out. Idk, this game brings out a certain nihilism to where it's cathartic....until them end credits.

Idk, it dawned on me that I hated Johnny the entire game for being a self righteous prick, only for it to dawn on me is that I'm ripping mfs to shreds with my mantis blades for nothing outside of boredom, money and glory. V is a piece of s*** too.

I know I have a reductive take, I actually did the panam side quest, but man ....

Nigga I swear I was doing the same thing with throwing knives

(Edit: damn ...didn't notice that emote had a literal knife in his head, I was looking for krillin but it worked out better that way)

10 hours in first play through. This is pretty fun I was sleeping

New third person mod is insane, about to download tf out of this

Better than TPP

I need this as an official mode in the sequel. Its a game that feels like I would like it better in third in many cases

okay let me give it more

Same idc if first person looks better in cutscenes

Third person their specialty and a great cover system I would be very in . Feels like so many games are afraid to be third person and have their graphics and animations compared to Kojima/Naughty Dog

Finally finished this playthough of the main story + Phantom Liberty in canon order.

Amazing experience through and through. Ended up with The Sun ending

she's real ?!
