It's better than anything rockstar had made in the past two decades and likely will still be better than gta 6 when it drops.

Horrible launch amazing revival if it launched in the condition the game is in now it would have been heralded as one of the greats of the genre

Game that found success be it critical,sales or public reception well after their release.

Pic related was generally agreed to be trash basically nonfunctional and unbalanced. A few years later it hits a 35 dollar price point during steam sales with dlc included. Boom everyone flips suddenly this shit is a master piece an amazing action game with rpg elements. They were right too to this day nothing really comes close to double jump dashing around night city and slaming in the middle of a gang of thugs and ripping them apart with nothing but your chrome. Also the unique magic system in cyber hacking is fun as fuck in concept and pretty much any play style is viable in the hardest difficulty.

Just a lot of stuff to love under the hood of a game that to this day is one of the peak in visual fidelity. I do consider the rpg portion of the game to be its weakest and it may have benefited from a 3rd person mode considering all the focus on customization. But for what it was the game basically pulled a 180 via patches.
