Stayed up way too late playing this game last night.<br><br>As you say, it's a wonderful immersive world to get lost in. <br><br>I really hope the performance related review bombing doesn't hurt it too much because it's very special and a lot of people will love it if they only try.

I was really hoping that you'd cover Nivalis. Thank you for talking about it. Great 'stream of consciousness' as always!

Glad to be here for your character development as a reviewer! 😂 Genuinely cool that this game found you appreciating world building / immersive sim gameplay. I love that you can find staff while out and about and hire them to your noodle bar. I’ve got a cook that constantly asks me about buying top of the line, overpriced cooking equipment. Great flavor while helping out with the understaffed morning lul ( I’m pitching in while my very new server levels up their skills)

I'm very willing to wait for the performance stuff to get worked out b/c of how dense it is

Ah, I was waiting for this video to drop! Like someone else in the comments, I was up way too late last night due to playing Nivalis Nights, and I’m so glad to hear that you’ve been as entranced with the world as I have. <br><br>The only reason lace where I’ve had performance issues was in one of the busier districts with more NPCa and and things going on around me than usual, but it wasn’t enough of an issue to be anything more than a, “yeah, this area could use a little more optimization.” <br><br>I love that your AI companion, Ava, has a very calming, almost ASMR voice and tone.Too often these types of built-in “companions” who are primarily there to tutorials you and help with world building, become annoying really quickly. But I have not been annoyed by her at all, and I think Ava helps a lot.

Night City, aside from maybe Hong Kong in Sleepy Doggies, is my fave game city/location ever. <br>Most of my almost 70hrs in CP77 is honestly just walking around exploring the alleyways, out of the way spots, and soaking in the ambience of what felt like a real place. <br>Only reason I stopped playing it is because Keanu showed up in my apartment drinking and smoking and I had recently quit both lol. <br>I didn't need him negging me at that point so I dipped but I looooooved that city. <br>Great review, I loved the city vibe in their other cab driving game so I'll def check this out. <br>Hope you and your loved ones are well.

Important note for anybody wanting to play: Managers are bugged in 1.0 release. They massively overbuy ingredients because they buy the full list of igrnedient from every vendor that stocks them. They are unusable in its current form and I find it wild that the game shipped with such a massive bug. There is a mod that fixes it until the game hopefully patches it soon.<br>Its also a bit wild that I havent really seen anybody in the previews pointing out how managers are unusable. The only thing I saw was that someone in another video said they "didnt like using them" ...but after even one day of using them it will be obvious they are ruining you.

Well done. Excellent review. Considering you have created this without a script and spoken from your heart - you have a very good articulate, well paced balanced reflection of how the game "feels and operates". Keep it up, you are a great reviewer. I also like how you switch up the methods and styles. I vaguely remember that failed one where you gave a score out of 10 or 100, and then modified as other games entered the system and you adjusted to suit. I saw that as being too over complicated - and I noticed you dropped that format after a few months. This is a good sign of learning and adapting. Chiseling away at production formats until one sits well. Cheers from AUS downunder. QLD here.
