I still do not think i can recomend this game. Visually its perfect, good graphics, cool vibes, unmatched atmosphere of dystopian cyberpunk, good immersive soundtrack. The artstyle is incredibly on point, this game has a style. But gameplay wise its bad, sometimes horrible. Controls are clunky, dash mechanic is stubborn, a lot of vusial noise, sometimes unfair enemy placements. Not to say you dont know how much damage you doing, how much your weapons supposed to do, coldowns on abilities are weird, no handoff on what abilities do to certain enemy types, can of worms about bosses and on and on. So you are on rollercoaster of "this game feels great" to "this expirience is truly miserable" Also there is still some inconsistencies. Like some visual bugs, inconsistent cutscenes and bandaids Buy on your own risk, i reccomend to firstly play on easy and normal. Only move to hard and NG+ when you have enough expirience with game and its skillset.

This is one of those games that will age slowly for two reasons: art direction and music. Gameplay will have its followers, as well as those who’ll say they’ve seen it all before. However, what’s undeniable is that the game has a strong magnetism from the very first few minutes, thanks to the atmosphere it creates. Other than that there is a story but simply just go out there and massacre your enemies as you please. Woof!
