Seems easy to see why it sold well - The Witcher 3 was very successful and then they attached Keanu Reeves to it.
As for the game itself, it told some petty good stories, had some excellent characters, and managed to do this while still feeling like a game, not an interactive movie. It delivered well enough on the setting as well.

I disagree here. The side quests and atmosphere are great. FemV nailed the voice acting. It has a lot of fun, bitingly memorable characters I still think of, sometumes.
The gameplay is satisfying… if, and only if, you mod it to not be bullet spongey and so grindy.
I’m not a 2077 apologist. Does it run well? Nope. Was it absolutely unacceptable at launch? An understatement.
But (in 2025/2026), it finally deserves the praise it gets, IMO. There’s a very good game in there.

The mods sound interesting - any you recommend? I find the whole thing a grind to be honest. And I hate watching a 40 minute cut scene to play for 5 minutes with guns that feel like they don’t actually do anything.
