30-odd hours into the game and I think I'm your unicorn on this topic. It's not a bad, un-fun game, and a lot of the aesthetics are great, but there are enough rough edges and sharp bits sticking out of all layers (performance, bugs, game mechanic design choices/failures, and plotlines) that while I think it's a decent enough game and don't want to demand my money back I am also not putting this into my personal top 10 games. Which, since I was greatly looking forward to it previously, is a let down. Honestly the best quick summary I can think of for the game is 'unfinished'. So many potential systems, plotlines, features, etc. are started or hinted at and just lead to nothing that it's pretty obvious this game crashed into its deadline hard.

That said, CDPR has been known to push out fixes and updates, and some meaty no extra cost DLCs, with earlier titles so we'll see where things stand in 6 to 12 months.

I will say that I can fully see why this game is running like trash on aged consoles. My rig is older but still usually capable (i7-6700K, 32 GB RAM, Crucial SATA SSDs, GTX 1080 GPU) and I get some issues now and again, all while the game hammers my CPU and GPU. XBox One and PS4 are running older AMD CPU and GPU chips which were a bit underpowered when those consoles were released, let alone now, so it's frankly a miracle no one's console has burst into flames trying to run this thing yet.
