It's kinda mid. It's not bad, it has enjoyable moments, the main quest is more cliffhanger than story telling, but it's still fun. A good chunk of the "how"s and "why"s are explained in the postgame.

Might update depending on the raid. For right now? Wait for a sale, do some catchup. It's not a bad expansion, but I can't put a "Meh" vote. Not as bad as Shadowkeep, but don't rush to buy Lightfall.

This is a game that kept getting hyped about for years after release and having played it from start to finish.

I don't see why. The gameplay is as generic as it gets for a cover-shooter with nothing standing out outside of it's story.

It's REALLY hard to feel bad for committing war crimes when the game, flat out refuses to progress unless you hit the "Kill Civilians" button. "Oh, but that's the point! You choose to play a game where you commit war crimes instead of something else", and having beaten it, I plan to. There is no option to save a falling enemy combatant, there is no way to avoid using the warcrime mortar, it's "Get tried at Geneva, or uninstall".

Sadly, as much as I want to listen to the game and refund it, I cannot. It's laughably short campaign took long enough to get past Valve's refund policy.

Having only played Bioshock Infinite prior to playing this for the first time, I was surprised to see how much I enjoyed this game. Clear mechanics with an overwhelming amount of gameplay choices, it's hard to forget this is a linear game. All kinds of sidepaths and distractions to pursue that mostly reward the player for exploration. Any issues with it's gunplay can easily be handwaved for the age of the game, as combat is still fluid enough to enjoy the encounters.

On the technical side, only suffered one crash that really set me back, and the game runs beautifully on a 2070, as it should. There is a lack of graphics options to tweak, but otherwise, it holds up much better than it's sequel.

Sadly, 2K failed to make a solid improvement on the past game, instead, choosing to focus on the weaker points of the first game. The guns are reskins at best, downgrades at worst compared to their Bioshock counterparts. The story is failing to draw me in, made worse by it's technical performance.

Which is the dealbreaker for this game. Audio bugs that were present in the original release are still present in the remaster, Crashes for no reason every half-hour or so, with no way to reproduce them in order to dial down a fix. Sure, when it's working, a 2070 is having no issues with the game, but the constant crashing and mediocre nature of the game, this is gonna be a "No" from me.

I can't pretend Cyberpunk launched in a good state, but a series of patches, time, patience has come a long way. There's charm in the streets of Night City, new weapons improved variety, there are still cosmetic glitches and bugs, but few crashes and performance dips. If your PC is up to snuff, and you see this on sale? I think it's a good purchase.

Hope the DLC is good.

There really isn't much of substance to this DLC. In my co-op play through, quests would break, dialogue would not play, music would play over dialogue despite having a low music volume set. The side quests were short at best, broken and unfunny at worst. The main story is forgettable and does not do Krieg justice. Even with hotfixes, this DLC really served nothing more as a couple of neat guns and a level cap increase.

In short, this DLC is 100% safe to skip.

This game is by all means fun, it's an absolute blast. The real killer is this game's piss poor anti-cheat. I am absolutely done with this game until there is a serious update to the anti-cheat measures.

WAIT before purchasing.

Don't get me wrong, having beaten the main game, I got a good feel for the game. The story and characters are fantastic, the world is filled with events and there is always something new to find.

But let me get this straight. The game needed another 2 months before the PC port was released. Audio crackles and pops, the game crashes at least once a day, sometimes props like tables don't load at all despite items that should be on the table loading and acting fine. FPS is fairly smooth, but don't come at me with that "Oh, Rockstar wanted to future proof the game for future graphics cards". The idea there is outright pretentious.

Long story short, fantastic game. Yet, a bad port.

Good game for the steam sale. You can make your money back EZ.

TL;DR Don't waste your money. Go get a full complete game with the money instead.

I got the season pass way before they said they were going to bump the price up. I felt like the money was worth it.

I don't know what world Bethesda is living in where they think any of this would be worth 45$, none the less 70 freaking bucks for this trite. All of the DLC for this game have deal-breaking flaws in one way or another.

Fallout 4 is hardly a game I would recommend to most. The DLC? Get Far Harbor and maybe Automatron on a sale. Maybe Nuka-World if it is going for stupid cheap.
