But in all seriousness I think people came down way too hard on this game. The writing is mad good- (like only Disco Elysium and NV really compare to it good) and I love wandering around a cool cyberpunk city as my Skin Diamond lookalike mercenary

    It's a cRPG based on Cyberpunk, which I've been told was the first tabletop-game set in cyberpunk genre, followed by Shadowrun like a year after.

    The game itself is like if you combine Borderlands 3 combat, with Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines rpg mechanics with Witcher 3 writing and top it off with GTA 4ish driving mechanics. It was also released a year too early.

    edit: so what I'm trying to say with all these comparisons is that the game isnt really unique, but there isnt a good one to one comparison. Like it's compared a lot to GTA5 because of marketing and the expectations that set, but it's nothing like GTA5. The closest comparison would probably be VtMB with driving and better combat.

          It's Skyrim with future guns with 10% the content and done with 100x less skill and polish than a Bethesda release. Truly a feat of achievement in and of itself.

      That's trying to do too much a once. Like that dude Forest Gump. That guy lived a life, but you can't do all that in one day.

        Maybe, but it works really well together, after you get over the "I just put a bullet in this dudes head but he didnt die." from the beginning.

        By late game I had a revolver that killed almost everyone even if I shot them in the toe.
