Genuinely curious, I only played briefly on release, but do people enjoy the combat? It felt a bit clunky when I tried to play before and I'm not sure if I really want to invest time in playing again
There are a fair few clips online, of people doing some pretty impressive stuff with the mantis blades - so it seems that there is a little bit of scope to make the combat a bit more jazzy, but if you're a guns/hacker type, then the combat is pretty repetitive.
Just as an aside.
I'll go back to the game and finish it at some point (a few side quests to do before entering the final mission) - but I cannot help but feel that the entire game was made out to be so much more than what was delivered; they even made a big show of the different gangs and the weapons they used - making you feel like taking on the higher level groups with the best tech would be certain death. The reality was that they just went for the Denisty-esq colour ratings instead, and you didn't really feel like you were progressing through tiers of better tech/weapons.
The whole body modification thing was also really 'meh' - I envisaged actually having to undergo operations, and then seeing the new unlock being grafted to your player - but after the initial installation of eyes - it was just putting better upgrades into slots in your inventory.
Oh well, it is what it is, and although not a patch on Witcher 3; it is still enjoyable enough and the setting is amazing.
