I bought this game day 1, put about 20 hours in and set it down.

Picked it up again three months ago and have not set it back down. Best game I have ever played. I’m a sucker for lore and mission content and this game just does not fail to deliver.

I know it had a rough launch and I don’t want that to be acceptable, but god damn this game is just so good. Like, so fucking good. Despite the launch I have to give it to them, they fixed it and it is just endlessly amazing

It's outstanding, but even right now at its best it still isn't perfect.

I'm very, very much looking forward to what they can eventually do using UE5 as the base in an era with generative AI to fill out the edges.

When the polish (pun intended) is there, the game is beyond everything else. But when you end up just a bit past the edges of where it holds your hand, it quickly loses the veneer, which is the key difference vs something like a Rockstar open world (but also very different budgets and aims).

There's a handful of studios I think will adapt especially well to the future of game development, and CDPR is one of them.

Because it is going to be possible to have CP 2077 main scenario style interactions across an entire open world within the next decade. And who better to curate that experience than the people delivering it in a diagonal slice?
