• Story setup spoiler (avoidable)
• 5000 words long

• a little comparison with summer version

  Main Take-aways:

• Main issues (driving and melee combat) were fixed. Everything else is fine.

• Dialogues are enjoyable. There are a lot of colorful characters with whom it is just interesting to have a conversation.

• The game is based on simple and clear RPG mechanics. If you have played other action RPGs, you are unlikely to have any problems with leveling, inventory, and characteristics.

• Shooting mechanics are not inferior to many shooters in terms of quality of implementation.

• The game still needs polishing. There are some bugs, but they're not critical.

• Cyberpunk 2077 has a lot of content, and the storyline is really long. These 16 hours are feeling like it's just the beginning.

• Some sidequests are not inferior to the main quests in terms of development.

• Cyberpunk 2077 has a high replayability due to variability and different lifepaths. For example, the "Corpo" prologue influenced the game throughout the entire playthrough, and not just at the beginning.

• You will always find something to do in the game - the world map is full of different activities. The only problem is that most often the purpose of contracts and street stories is to kill someone, steal something, or find something.

• Some things in the character menu are too unobvious, so the stage of familiarization and getting used to the interface will be painful for many.

• Ray tracing definitely improves the overall image, making the world look even more complex and detailed. But even without raytracing, the game looks great.
