Why do I only see people talking about the graphics but either never mention gameplay or say it's too mundane or dull and not worth the hours to get through it?

I see it a lot used as a benchmark but no or very little mention of replay value.

Personally, I adored the gameplay. I put maybe 60 hours in and still had the energy to start a second playthrough (though never got far in it). That's rare for me with such long games. Usually by the time I finish the game, I'm like "yup, I've had enough". The story is fantastic and the gameplay is super open. Can go in guns a blazing (with all sorts of weapons, including "smart guns" with target seeking bullets), be stealthy, slow time and get up close and personal, keep your distance and use hacks that can even spread from enemy to enemy, and more. The romantic interests are great and also feel realistic. The plot is dark and doesn't shy away from what I envision a dystopian sci-fi reality being like.

And yeah, it is a beautiful world, too. I found it highly immersive because of that.

It's not perfect. Civilian, police, and driving AI is by far its weakest point. The world feels vibrant and interesting, but don't expect much from civilian interactions, drivers are basically on rails, and police teleport to you. But those issues were fairly minor to me. I'd give it a 9/10. Obligatory mention that I played on PC. I've heard older consoles were buggy, but I didn't see much for bugs on PC.

(Typing this up made me wanna play it again, but I gotta wait for the DLC.)

i think its because the gameplay is the weakest point. tho cdpr has been constantly trying to make it better

ive beaten it like 3 times at this point so its not like its bad but the world they built, broken as it may be (but they are fixing it), is just so slick and great to just exist in.

gameplay is still real fun, but you still around for Silverhand and all the other side quests imo
