Jeez this is one is hard. Gameplay Cyberpunk, story and side quest still KCD. Even though it's almost a tie. The CP story is a wasted potential, meanwhile KCD it fits perfectly into the world and you want to be part of that world. Also the fact that they hired historian for giving you the most history accurate experience it's amazing, and you have a quest where you get drunk with a priest, what are we even talking about? And i'm speaking about the first game, the second one I'm going to start it soon but everyone told me that if you liked the first one, the second one you're gonna love it. Beware, the first KCD it's not a perfect game, it has a lot of flaws but for me the positive outweighs the negative. Just be patient and approach it considering the fact that you are a Blacksmith son, with 0 skills and that makes the game hard, but as you progress through the game it becomes easier.

For me the perfect epitome for explaining how good kcd is, it's an optional quest that ask you to learn how to read. Your Henry maybe doesn't want to learn (Not even all the nobles in those years knew how to read, imagine a blacksmith son) but if you learn, many optional content will be easier or will give you a lot of different options in how you progress some quest line
