What are some things this game, in your opinion, did extremely well?
For me it's:
First person:
Really well done, not a fan of FP games at all but it really brings out some amazing shots. As I said in some other thread it's clear CDPR intentionally composed a lot of shots in dialogues like a painting, with a tonne of cool stuff and a billion little details going on in the background.
Animations when entering cars, having a drink, sitting down etc were all very well done.
Really feels like its' own thing rather than an easy way out of having to animate your character.
Parkour:
Really not mentioned often enough, wasn't advertised or marketed so hard, but you can climb damn near anything and it feels so nice and fluid exploring Night City vertically.
Car design:
Driving feels kinda clunky but I have so much appreciation for how well and elaborate all the cars in Night City are.
World design:
Absolutely insane and so far unmatched by any other game for me. The amount of detail and care that went into Night City is insane.
NPC design:
I appreciate how much care they've put into NPCs - main characters rolling their eyes as if they were recollecting something when appropriate, all the different walks and mannerisms between NPCs. Even the generic NPCs all have these very interesting unique looks and are very fun to observe.
