I thought it was really shallow. Nothing seemed to matter, the city was supposed to be one of the main protagonists, but it was just cery shallow, driving is the least fun i've ever had in a game like that, to the point that i never drove anywhere, npc's where a joke, so was the police. Most of the time it was just a Bethesda like "collect garbage and shut up" game. The music and artstyle i found fantastic, the sound design in general was very memeroble, but the game felt shallow and dead.

It feels exactly like Witcher 3 with cars, guns, and less janky combat. There's a lot of people who think Witcher 3 is the best game ever made. I think CP2077 is better than Witcher 3. Of course, I'm that guy who doesn't really love Witcher 3.

Of course, my favorite games are Bethesda "collect garbage and shut up" games. I play them for the story (feel like I'm getting judged for reading Playboy now)

I have tried to play Witcher 3 in several different stages but I just get incredibly bored and drop it. I genuinely cannot understand what people see in it.

Good thing I didn't let that lead me to ignoring CP2077 because I liked it a lot. It does have the pointless crafting grind from Witcher 3 but if I just ignore that it's fine.

Basically me, too. I can do 4 or 5 playthroughs of Skyrim and enjoy the hell out of it and want more, but I only reached "late-ish-game" in Witcher 3 once in 4 or 5 attempts... and even then burn out.

It was on my 4th try I finally liked it after I got over the combat and horse riding mechanics. I think it helped I delved deep into RPGs at the time.

I am just one people, so I only speak for me. What kept me engaged in Witcher 3 was the dark and interesting world and the stories the game tells. I really love that about the game! I recommend playing Witcher 3 and Dragons Dogma back to back: one has this rich and interesting world with so many interesting stories and people in it and the other has this great combat system I'd love if those games had a baby!
