Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
186 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But if you do the story is excellent and as deep and well written as you'd expect it from a good cyberpunk novel but rarely find in a game.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
110 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You can save at almost anytime now here (when not moving & not in combat) here, which can be helpful - and trust me, you will need to.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
99 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
++Gameplay: Information gathering between missions and NPC characters are nice, although interactions are very limited.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
+character customization - extensive build options, leveling and attributes; weapon, cyberwear and armor options.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals are also very decent, only bit that aged are the 3D models (it's not big deal, it doesn't look terrible or anything like that), but other than that, the game looks very good and will age like fine wine.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is also very memorable, albeit maybe a little too repetitive at times.
