  I personally wouldn’t say “gameplay is the most important feature”, but it’s intertwined.

  A game is a piece of art, and a piece of art passes a message or a sentiment to the end user.

  Some don’t need gameplay at all, like the novel-like games with eventual quick time events like Until Dawn, just nice graphics and an appealing story are enough to pass on what the creator wants.

  Other games require heavy focus on gameplay, remembering enemiew behaviors and learning a plethora of items and skills so the player can even experience thee world around him, a good example would the Souls series.

  There’s even games in between, like Cyberpunk, where the graphics and storytelling are the most important aspect, and the gameplay is there but is not important enough to pass on the message. And vice versa.

  The worst a game can be is “meh”, or leave you uninterested on any of its aspects. Haven’t played this SW game, but if I compare to the the SW works, the focus should be either good action (like Jedi Academy game) or a deep and interesting story and world building (like the Andor series). If the only thing It has is graphics, then I can see how uninteresting it can be.

  I’d argue It is heavily inspired, and not copied.

  The game has been in development for some years now, you can even find some early ads for It. And the lack of action by Nintendo, in all this time, tells me there’s no bases for any legal action.

  I’ve seen comparisons for all the pals and the “look alike” pokemons, and honestly, some are inspired by pokemons and some are similar just because they are based on the same animal, I haven’t seen any blatant copies.

  the dlc is really good, albeit short, it feels really long

  all the characters are well written and it’s hard to straight up hate/like them, the gray area is real

  also, theres 4 more ending added if I’m not mistaken, give It a shot

  the faulty console launch aside, cp77 came as a really good game, one of the best story and characters I’ve seen in a while
