Yes, he did. But neither the main praise nor criticism of the game was not directed towards him but on the overall buginess and removal of RPG elements from the game.
Ok, what rpg element was removed? I just played it (without dlc), and it's basically first person witcher 3 in cyberpunk setting, including all the faults. Basically true to type with CDPR.
They advertisd heavily on "complex branching storyline" and "every decision will have consequences" so the expectation was at the minimum a bigger Deus Ex Human Revolution, but then what they actually delivered is a worse GTA 5 with neon lights.
Right. But I just played it, and it has nothing to do with GTA. It's literally witcher 3 in first person. Same level of branching, same slightly shallow rpg mechanics and shallow ish combat. It's much more action, though and theoretically stealth is an option unlike witcher.
