So I made it as far as I can get to with the story part as of this date, and its pretty solid. I really did feel that we departed from the 50s. I even just played the SNES reboot before this one, and had a nice little smile at certain parts. The random encounters are many, and that was nice having to be careful while exploring the maps; especially since I like playing squishy mage builds. I really wanted to get to the bottom of what happened, it was a great start and the story telling made me think I was playing the base campaign in some parts.

I didn't like not being able to slot items on my runners the way you normally could. I don't know if you were going for the immersion of "Yeah new decade" But it was frustrating that I had to pay nuyen to access my stash, and not even put items on runners. I don't want to have to dismiss them, and reinstate them. Now if in later builds, where if the runners don't stick around. That's fine, but from Yak ambush to Royal apts was frustrating in particular because I had an abundance of fetishes for Mouse.

Slaag had a tendency of falling way behind, I zoom and sometimes stray to far ahead of my group. The other runners are still in the fight. There was a couple times where he is just so far out of the battle.

I love Rapido, I wanted to run with him all the way, but he was too much of a setback. I think a little bit of a buff in his melee would be great, maybe make him even tankier too. At least make him hit more and hit a little harder Its crazy how much a step up Cane is to Rapido in both combat and decking. I was getting crits from long range with Cane. I played it normal mode though, I don't know how it would be in higher difficulties. Its just crazy that we went from a guy that can barely hit the side of a barn with a baseball bat to a pistol sniper.

That being said, I do like the options of other runners. I didn't mess with them all, but I liked Julia and that elf samurai you meet at Bob's Beer Factory. Grace seemed amazing, its just that the three I picked meshed well. I saw the Dwarf Rigger late.

I don't know if I missed something, but I couldn't do the side runs from Milky. I saw you updated all this, and stuff. I might have not updated. But I was getting the "I don't know you well enough yet." Then he was all like, "You can do some of *MY* Runs" But he went with the "You're too much of a big timer for me." Soon after. I can't give any feedback.

Also, about the runs. I don't know, the ghoul bounty was cool and the decking runs were okay. But the runs in the Industrial park were the same thing, didn't matter if it was Erin or Moon Man. I just assumed you haven't gotten to making more of them yet. I'm not going to lie though, it was pretty tough to stay interested in them. Especially since I got to blow up the waste disposal units three times in a row. I dipped once I got the spells, and gear I wanted.

The main runs however were ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing. Couple things though. In the Royal Apartments run where you go undergound to get the access. If you don't kill the pervy Dwarf, and go in the room where he shot the person. He blocks you in the room and you have to reload. Someone might be a doofus like me, and let him live then regret it. Also in the Royal apts: The game kind of freezes if you mess with the stash thing near the matrix locked door. I know it confuses the game if you access drone things it without a Rigger sometimes in the base game, but this kind of stops working at this point.

That's all I can think of right now, I know this is really early so I understand a lot of the things are still in the works but I loved exploring the maps.
