Just released, on Game Pass.
Basically a cyberpunk twin stick shooting Diablo.

I just put an hour or into it.
Kind of fun so far, but all the systems and info they throw at you right away is kind of overwhelming.
I don't think I like how the map works.
I can't get past the second "boss" (two big guys with hammers).

Put another 2 hours in or so.

I have a better understanding of the upgrade system.
The map is still annoying but I can find my way around now.
Figured out that you need to find side quests yourself, so started doing those.
I am getting a better grasp on combat, but it's still pretty difficult playing alone, guess I need to squad up with some people.

I have concluded that I like this game.

Load times are ridiculous though. Granted I am playing on an OG XBONE, but you ride an elevator sometimes and the ride is legit 3 times as long as any Mass Effect elevator right. It's insane.

I'm trying to like it, feels a bit clunky, not sure what it is. Seems like a lot of bullet contact detection is off, like a lot of my bullets are right on target and just flat out misses the enemy. I'm also in a major gaming rut right now and I could just be bitter because I can't get into anything right now.

I turned the auto aim to high, seemed to help hit stuff more. To me it seems like the aiming is too responsive, like if you move it a tiny bit you are now off your target.

I'm gonna try that, thanks. Glad it's not only me that noticed it. I think I have it off or on low.

Played for an hour or two Thursday. They really nailed the cyberpubk aesthetics. But yeah I felt a little overwhelmed with how much they just kind of dump on you out of the gate without much explanation.

I got absolutely merked by the first enemies I came across with guns <_<. So I called it a night there. Will probably put in some more hours later this week.

My biggest gripe so far is that the map is almost completely useless dog shit. The on screen objective marker is a saving grace but it'd still be nice to have a decent map for finding items and stuff. The menus in general aren't great tbh.

Other than that I'm enjoying it so far

I really wish you could drop a pin on the map then have the in game effect guide you there. That would be awesome.

I also just unlocked fast travel which is nice.

Yeah, custom markers or an overlay map option would be nice.

Surprised there isn't more buzz around this game, it's a pretty solid a-rpg. Can't believe it was developed by only a dozen people, super impressive

I feel like there is a decent amount of buzz for such a small game, mainly cause it's on Game Pass.
Of course I could be biased cause I usually pay close attention to all new Game Pass games.

Just hit a hard wall in the Data Miner mission. I feel like I'm gonna have to eventually co-op to get through some harder stuff.

Over 8 hours in, level 16 currently.

Some bugs are starting to become annoying. The cyberdeck is broken and needs to be patched. I had the upgrade to open ice level 1 chests, picked up a new plug and now I can't open locked chests anymore. Some people on reddit have reported completely losing their cyberdeck after playing co op mode.
