Would be kind of pointless because this is the type of game you play for the pretty graphics, not the story or gameplay. I wouldn't even bother with Cyberpunk unless you have a GPU that can do full path tracing. The story is boring and the gameplay is repetitive. All you do the entire game is just grab the fun with the highest DPS and shoot anything hostile. There's no reason to even waste time with the hacking and stealth elements.

I couldn't disagree more. I played through as a 100℅ hacking corpo my first run and it was great (120 hours total give or take). I only used guns when necessitated by the mission at hand.

To double check it wasn't a design issue, I played full melee / gorilla arms after the 2.0 update and am having a blast at around 40 or so hours in.

These play through were on literally every possible platform (Stadia, Xbox 1 & Series X, PS5, Steam Deck, GeForce Now, desktop 3080 and recently 4080 mobile) so graphics weren't always the primary draw.

If you choose not to engage with the world or systems, that's a choice but it certainly isn't a failing of the game. There's an incredible world and cast of characters in Cyberpunk.

thats sorta funny for me as I tend to play hack/stealth.
