I forced myself through it expecting to be surprised at some point and it fell flat.
Some stuff is clever but parts of the story are terrible.
The character development is atrocious, in a single mission a character goes from "feelings aren't allowed" to "the mission doesn't matter I will literally die for you".
Also it’s not particularly impressive technically, it looks like a launch Xbox 360 game so it’s not surprising that it runs on Switch.
I know people love this game but it seems to be a marmite experience.
Nobody tell them
You might call that problem with the format but the reason for that was explained later on. It's "oh, that's why the thing few hours earlier happened!" moment
I'm sorry, this is an incorrect reading of the situation on your part. If you finish the game, there is nothing incongruous there, aside from the localization making 2B a bit more curt than in the source material.
I know the average gamer wants MORE content for the same price, but I don't feel the same way, especially about story based games. TLOU and even Halo: Reach had great stories without being annoying long.
The game isn't over until the end of Ending E, and I think it is incredibly worth it.
The endings are endings, because of the game's idea of cyclic nature of events. It's hinted that the events of the game aren't happening for the first time, but in fact, are a repeat of history.
That is, you are replaying the game as part of that cyclic nature. It's perfectly fine to stop the game at the first "ending" - but you will miss the total message of the game imho.
Yeah I'm actually thankful Cyberpunk doesn't take a billion hours to complete if I just want to focus on the main story, just don't have time for that
I did go to youtube to explore all the endings and there's where I realized they got clever with them but I just threw the towel.
the game was definitely not for me.
It's good only in that it provides a handy indicator that I should disregard recommendations from people who enjoyed it.
