The game is actually fine from a technical perspective. My complaint is that the art direction is bad. Really bad. There's been a few frames that I thought were inspired, but the overwhelming majority of this game is depressingly bland, boring, and uninspired in design.

I loved The Witcher series and thought that CDPR did an admirable job of putting a unique artistic identity on a genre that has been done to death - the medieval fantasy. So what happened here? How did a genre with far less competition turn out so hopelessly generic? What happened to the artists that were able to breathe life into the super stale medieval fantasy genre? Why does this game seek to ape Syd Mead so freaking hard without managing to achieve any of his sense of style?

Edit: CDPR should have hired the artists from Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Mankind Divided. They achieved a far, far more interesting take on cyberpunk.
