It was straight broken garbage when it came out.

On older consoles, yes, absolutely. But people really shouldn't let their saltiness from 5 years ago stop them from enjoying what has since become one of the better games of the past decade.

I thought it was a decent 20 hour game squeezed into a 100 hour open world slog, that completely ruins the urgent nature of the plot.

Phantom Liberty was pretty great though. The confined nature of it let the story develop with pace.

CDPR should just stop trying to force everything into open worlds because their games are still good in spite of them, not because of them.

It doesn't matter if it became that, the question is what was it the year it's released. That's what this list is for. That year.
