Amazing game! They have taken the good from the first game and made it better, and then they took the less good things (which were not many to begin with) and made them better. The game is amazing, love it!

I just love this game!

Amazing game, love the demo and cant wait for the full release!

Hands down one of the best games I've played the past 10 years, its up there with Valheim.
And its still in ea, its just sick!

Amazing combat with really nice graphics, but thats about it.
Super grindy and the game does basicly have not customization (if you arent ready to pay real cash) to the sickening extent that no matter the class or level, all your characters will look the same.

I have played this game a few hundred hours now and I still can't really recommend the game.
Even if you get it at a discounted price.

The game is littered with game breaking bugs around every corner, map design is generally bad, respawn mechanics is bad, weapon balancing is bad, TTK is wierd and wonky. Crossplay cant be disabled (for PC players) so you will always match with controler players with Activision approved aimbot (aimassist) and there is nothing you can do about it.

Anyway, here is a list of bugs that have basicly been in the game since launch and nothing have been fixed. Its just a cashcow until MW3 is released.

Only reason for all my hours is that its kinda fun with friends on discord.

And now I can update this review and tell you not to buy it at all, MW3 is just a even worde cashgrab. Its funny how I can continue to write the same review for this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ "NEW" game even though I have never owned it.

Kinda nice, probably suck if you dont have a VR-headset.

So, ive spent 30 hours in the game and I do love it for alot of reasons. I love the story, I love the characters I meat in the game and I really did get the feeling of meaningfull relations with the story characters.
I wish the story would be even longer, because I never wanted it to end. With that said, I will have to replay the game to see if my choices makes a differences on how the story ends.

There is a few bugs but they are far from gamebreakring and I do recommend the game, the prices is fair for the story alone!
But with that said I do have a few complaints that sadly made it hard for me to choose between recommending the game at the current pricing. The game becomes clearly bleak and empety as soon as you have cleard a few side missions and the main story and you realize that there aint much to do in this HUGE beutifull city, you can not even order food from 99,99% of the foodstands. As far as I can remember I have not even ONCE found a store that you acctually walk into and the game feels rushed and empety.

Major issues I have with the game, after clearing the main story:
- Very few interactive NPCs outside of missions with meaningful dialogue.
- Can't hangout with friends you meet later via storymode. This is really bothersome, apparently I have this realationtionship with a girl, but I can only talk about the same 2 topics over and over agan.
- Lack of gameplay events in the world. Random cop car chases, bank robberies, etc. All the ones that do exist is prescripted and once you clear them all, there wont be any new ones.
- No ownership of items, I can do whatever I want. Noone cares if I take their parked car right in front of you.
- Cant use braindances except in story missions.
- Basicly no ability to interact with any NPCs, 99,9% of them are just background fillers, not even most of the foodstands is interactable. And outside of story/side missions the ability to talk with ANYONE is basicly NULL.

Minor issues:
- No Vehicle customization.
- No garages to store vehicles, they just magically appear.
- No visual weapon customization
- NPCs barely react to anything and have no awareness to the game world.
- The cops literally spawn near you.
- Unable to customize character once you're in night city. No barbershops, plastic surgeon, etc.

This game is everything I wanted the Tekkit Modpack for Minecraft to be, times 100.
Its so damn complex and I LOVE IT.
I havent really managed to build my own selfreliable base yet but I am slowly getting there xD

So I have now played this game for 40+ hours and feel like its time for a verdict.

I would describe this game as taking the game series Anno 19** and sprinkle it with a dash of Minecraft. And I LOVE it!

Pros:
* Awesome graphics with bumpmapping and lightning+shadows.
* Interesting gameplay with city management, building with blocks and a bit of tower defense to protect your colonies.
* Full? modsupport with steam workshop! <3
* Still only a handfull of mods, but they do bring ALOT of new interesting stuff!
* Multiplayer / Coop / Singleplayer
* You can punch your settlers in the face
* A update post from the devs every friday / Active devs
* Superstable, have not have a single crash even with almost all current available mods installed.

Cons: ( Atleast at the time of writing, I mean it is early access and there is alot of stuff the devs are planing to add. A few of these are things I personaly wish they did add)
* Still only a handfull of mods, but they do bring ALOT of new interesting stuff! (Mod support were released 1ish week ago at the time of writing)
* You are not able to force assign beds for each settler wich beaks immersion a bit ( Not yeat atleast, I mean it is early access)
* No native "melee" soldiers. ( Not yeat atleast, I mean it is early access)
* No native doors or windows, mods can add both and for windows that is just awesome. But as for doors you have 2 mods that kind off solves it. First modd adds real doors that you can open and close BUT the npc's are not able to open/close them. The other mod adds doors you can open and close but NPCs just walk straight trough them.
* No real water dynamics / flowing so forget building ponds unless you use cheat commands / want to risk your world drowning.

So final verdict? Do I recommend this game? Hell yea! 10/10!
