Flawed but fun.

This game has a fun combat system that lets you live your power fantasies. A proper build and some cyberware will let you destroy any encounter even with the highest difficulty turned on.

The story and characters are OKAY. There are a lot of forced cinematic car chases and walk/talk scenes. However, the other characters somewhat make up for the insane amount of downtime.

Additionally, Johnny Silverhand has been a very divisive character in the fan base since he takes over the importance of the plot over V.

This game misses out on a lot of opportunities to interact with the cyberpunk genre. The trauma team is only relevant in two scenes, Cyberpsychosis doesn't exist for V, and late-stage capitalism rhetoric is missing.

Definitely, a fun game to live out your power fantasies with the background being an oppressive and unforgiving city.
