This cyberpunk spy thriller is classic CD Projekt Red at the top of their storytelling game, though some of the gameplay additions feel superfluous.
had a... difficult launch, if we’re being generous. A consequence of a hype train out of control, some terrible PR decisions, and a game littered with game-breaking bugs meant that when it dropped in late 2020 it was met with fan outrage and mixed reviews.
The main story is a rollercoaster of spy thriller cliches that manages to hold itself on the right side of absurdity most of the time. V receives a call from a mysterious stranger called Songbird, who offers a cure for the Relic in exchange for a small favor – rescuing the president whose plane is about to crash into Dogtown, a militarised ghetto bolted onto the side of Night City. Songbird stops just short of saying,"The president has been kidnapped by ninjas.
There are a couple of screeching halts in the pacing along the way when it asks you to bum around town for a day or two, presumably to help the campaign mesh into the main story more, but these are easily skipped by just resting. Alongside the new layout, a lot of abilities have been tweaked. Some useless skills have been removed, while new skills have also been added. This makes leveling up feel a bit more meaningful, though it comes with the downside of feeling more limiting. There are also new Relic skills, which theoretically offer more substantial buffs, but the points needed for this tree can only be found in a few locations, not via regular leveling up.
Combat in general feels great. How much of that comes from the 2.0 patch and how much of it came in preceding updates is hard to tell, but I never regretted my decision to go run and gun on this playthrough. Between enhancements, perks, weapons, and mobility options, there are plenty of ways to approach every combat encounter. At the same time, enemies seem a little more intelligent in how they attack you.
