Update .... another 100 hours with this game, just couldn't redeem it.
I think a chunk of time here was also menu paused as real life happened.

The game lacks polish, depth & re play ability for me
Main storyline is good, but really after that & some Gigs, it just lacks ALL the stuff they promised us; all the incredible next gen open world ideas, smart NPC's, attention to detail, immersive gameplay.

I said below, that I hope one day we find out what really happened.
I don't anymore. They appear to have lied to us, plain & simple.

I have little motivation to continue the game, maybe DLC may draw me in, but honestly it's been a pretty disappointing result overall.

I have rarely written reviews, but after 90+ hours playing 2077, I had to share.

Bottom Line
WAIT for the game (on PC for now) to drop in price if you really wanna play it.
Otherwise give it a miss and wait and see if it gets fixed and mods are developed that make it a far more robust game. There is little next gen experience.

Yes there is some fun to be had, but nothing like promoted or promised.

CPR was the last developer I trusted with games & was happy to pre-order. But unfortunately, this has now changed. It’s so sad to see CPR and the staff, who appeared to work so hard on this, fall so short. I hope one day we get to understand what on Earth really happened.

Currently:

NPC's Broken
No intelligence, no promised routines or interactions

Driving broken
Poor controls, poor AI, disappointing mechanics

Police broken
Overpowered

Shops/buying poor
Basic, no real interactions

Main story is good
Interesting & very well produced

Gameplay OK (non main story)
Some fun here with play-style and skill tree tweaks
Some great weapons to discover
Complex random encounters with enemies are not what they seem, little depth, rinse repeat
Immersion in the world of the game is lacking
Not enough variety to keep a person interested

Looting
You can loot anything with no repercussions, which is fine, but is not the NPC AI we were promised

Crafting Broken
Can create extra raw materials from other items out of thin air, values don't match

Bugs
A plenty

Now it's on PC, I can see what all the fuss is about.
SIngle player is great fun, but as an online sandbox it's a blast! Find a crew and get out there.
