One of the things that keeps me just pottering about inside GTA V is just how good Rockstar's map is. It's a brilliant piece of design and tonally perfect too, whereas I'd say something like Night City is well designed but the wrong kind of cyberpunk.

The wrong kind? That's a bold claim. It was developed with the design oversight of Mike Pondsmith; based on lore, maps and art from his original source material.

  Doesn't mean it's a good map for a game.

    Good thing it's a good map for other reasons, then.

        It reviews positively among users on Steam, now. Release problems have long since been patched, and the game is fun.

        I'm not saying it's a bad game, I have it and did like it, I just thought it was a missed opportunity in many regards.
