Truly amazing game. Does not hold your hand! Anti Yellow Paint...

This game is amazing. The graphics, the amount of content, the fighting, boss battles, all of the mini games and smaller things you can do spending time in the game are incredible. The game is so detailed, and there are so many things to do, I think you could spend over 200 hours in this game and still have tons to do. Yes, this game is difficult, No this game does not hold your hand and give you 100 tutorials on how to do every single thing in the game. This has been described as the Anti Yellow Paint game, and I agree. There are a crazy number of things you can do in this game, and a lot of stuff is not fully explained, but you learn through testing and trial and error. The environment and the game in general is so responsive and just works so well with everything you do I can't even describe it all. If you loved Skyrim, The Witcher, RDR, Zelda, or any other big open world detailed, puzzle solving, epic fighting games, then you'll love this game. If you want an easy hand holding game, that guides you through every thing, has a tutorial for everything, has an easy difficulty setting so the game isn't challenging or testing, then you probably won't like this game.

BORING AS.

Waited for months for this garbage, it is slow, boring, no main story, character is awful, accents are stereotypical characteurs, side quests are a waste of time, like the bounties, mini games are terrible, deleted after 20 hours, just sooooo boring.

Has Cyberpunk potential

The game is solid and has a lot of potential, but they have to fix a lot of annoying things like the camera that literally flies around when you’re in combat. Don’t get me started on how the game instantly crashes once you open the map, and this has happened to multiple PS5 users too so it’s not a me problem. Fix your game.
