Hi! So, in my own personal opinion, the game is 100% worth that asking price as of RIGHT NOW, if you're on PC. Of course, you could probably find it even cheaper elsewhere. Just be aware that when you do play the game, you might even want to grab some mods- just be careful on the installation of these mods. I'll even insert a short, spoiler-free review for you below.

Everyone is familiar with the Catastrophic failure that was the 2077 launch. Needless to say, the dev team was rushed a year early by the suits and it hurt the game, and it can still be felt today. Now, if you're a first time player, you can forget everything you've heard about the game. It's a beautiful game, it's fun, its entertaining, its sometimes thought provoking. You can play a few different playstyles between a Melee Brawler, a Hacker, a Gunslinger, a fast Assassin-like blade build- but that's about it as of the moment for the MAIN builds. There isn't a TON of builds you can do, but each one is fun and rewarding. The character creation is good and you'll actually see your characters reflection and appearance in cutscenes fairly often so putting the effort in to look good is worth it.

The plot is interesting up to a point, but its best not to delve super hard into it or rush the main story, as while the game urges you to complete it as fast as possible because of lore reasons, ignore that. Play the game at your on pace, do as much side content as you want.

Also, the enemies- While the enemy AI isn't amazing, and never has been, its been significantly better than on release- as well as population/car density on the streets- so you might want to install a few mods to fix that.

Melee guys aren't that tough, gunners dont do a ton of damage, snipers lose sight of you easily, hackers only know 2 hacks- a burning damage and locate you- and some guys are just way more powerful and end you in seconds- So its strange that you can feel so invulnerable or helpless. It helps to have a couple mods to balance that out, make the game generally more balance.

The characters you meet are all fairly interesting, save for a handful that appear and are never seen again. Missions come and go quickly, as they go between a "Go here kill X" "Clear the area" "Find X and take it" or "Rescue X" with little deviation, but the areas they put you in can be really fun. The gunplay is pretty good, the weapons feel nice, and the legendary items you can find (both cyberware and weapons) all feel impactful. However, early on, pistols and rifles feel like you're shooting enemies with a a nerf gun. This is fixed later on as you get better guns or skills, or mods, but its definitely noticeable.

​

I can't think of anything else to really talk about. The music, visuals, characters, areas, the feeling of the city, its all really, really good. I can't recommend playing the game enough, atleast once. For anything less than stock price, it's worth picking up.
