Considered 3 stars purely because the bugs are so funny, but ultimately decided against it. Any real fun this game has at the moment (finding random portals into the underworld, freerunning bugs, slipping between the cracks of buildings to get into half finished interiors, etc.) will be "fixed" within the year, while all of the terrible and unsatisfying stat based leveling, mediocre and repetitive missions, vaguely passable but terribly paced story, useless options like dialogue choices and background, and the shockingly braindead AI will likely stick around. Feels less like an RPG and more like a looter shooter, the dildo you find on the ground is probably better than whatever sword you grinded 4 hours to craft.

Have to give a special shoutout to the astoundingly self cannibalizing and needlessly finnicky upgrade paths consisting of armor, armor mods, body mods, weapon classes, weapon mods, hacking mods, stat upgrades, skill upgrades AND perks often but not exclusively tied to the previously mentioned stat upgrades and skill upgrades. There's 30 different ways to get 0.03% damage from firing a gun, and all of them feel equally useless and unsatisfying.
