- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

The initial play through was too boring for me. There’s probably still more tutorials and mechanics I haven’t got to yet but it got to be a slog with me feeling the same, too much story (that I just wasn’t feeling) and not enough action for it be fun.
I guess, the first play through was much better as it was during pandemic/lockdown and I had tons of free time.
My, now, wife was staying with her parents and I was in the condo alone.
But now I’m just too busy to listen to the story to play a little bit of a shooter.
I think having a wife actually is part of it for me. I’m one of those introverted guys and burn most of that social battery at my full time job. I haven’t been able to ‘feel’ relationship ties with in-game characters for years. Ive given it thought before and landed on the fact that those feelings are reserved for my wife and close friends. That along with my taste pivoting from first to third person games just made CyberPunk a bad purchase. I don’t blame the game though, CDPR seems to have done an amazing job and it looks great now.
