While I enjoyed this game, and put in well over 100 hours in the first week, I can't recommend this game for anyone who doesn't have a decently beefy PC setup. Nothing top of the line, just assume that the default recommended settings for each "Tier" of graphical quality are one higher than they say they are to get 60fps *most* of the time. There are a bunch of unoptimized zones in the game that you WILL notice when driving past or walking around, and some of these areas are nonsensical for the most part until you put in the time like I did, as most of the performace issue areas are just multiple quest zones nearby each other, so the simple AI they use for civilians to keep chugging down when around too many of them doesn't work as intended to pull the veil, so to speak.

If you have a decent computer, some decent money to burn and you're willing to wait for the game to eventually be, and I say this with a healthy palm of salt, a great game. I personally believe that at it's current point of polish, it isn't worth the AAA premium video game price tag. Especially since the last generation console version was literally unplayable to most people, and that doesn't reflect well on expectations for what CDPR was intending to do, which is focus on the PC version ratings and downplay the issues on console to try and make a little extra money from people who weren't well informed (Which is an issue caused by CDPR by not allowing reviewers to complain about bugs and performance issues during the pre-release time frame and disallowing the use of any screenshots that aren't by them. This is a behavioural detail about the company you should keep in mind, as they did actually make a good game before. That just went to their heads, and they started huffing their own farts so they didn't have to tell the truth to anyone as with all corpo scum.

TL;DR CDPR has been outed as being scummy, do your research. Corporate greed doesn't translate into corporate profits. Don't buy this game unless you're ready to deal with all this as an owner of the game. I leave this as recommended because it will get the most visibility, not because this game is currently worth the price of admission.
