I bought the game at launch, played about 60-seconds of it... ran into a bug, then heard all of my gaming friends complaining about bugs while on Discord... I immediately uninstalled it.
I'm a Cyberpunk super-fan. And a big fan of CDPR. However, I'm not a fool. CDPR dropped the ball and shipped the game *waaaay* too early. I knew they would try to fix the game, and so now like two years later, they've made massive updates to the game, I reloaded it... and now?
Well I'm loving the shit out of the game. I spend a lot of time exploring and while it's not perfect, it is definitely worth playing. I've avoided most spoilers, but I know the lore as well as anyone else, so it was delightful to see the callbacks to the TTRPG (and specifically to some of the printed adventures - some of which you get to play in flashbacks) is really cool.
It's *not* Battlefield in terms of FPS - it's very loosey-goosey bullet-spongey for people that don't like FPS games, although it is lethal if you think you can just go murder-hoboing. If you have the gear and skills, you certainly CAN. Conversely, if you like challenge, you can go stealth and even get through the game without killing people (though this would be really tricky).
So *I* don't know about any of the early bugs or system-issues that initially plagued the game. Right now? This game *seems* to be in a very good place. I feel great knowing I dodged all the drama. Right now, and I'm not even mid-way through the game (I'm a completionist) I'm giving this game a solid 8/10.
Pros - Very much captures the look, the feel of the Cyberpunk world (specifically Night City). Dynamic means of progress in terms of style of play - you can go gun-bunny, stealth, melee etc. Hacking matters, but it's not mandatory. Sidequests are fun and engaging with good rewards and surprisingly good narratives that expand the world in terms of texture. Transmog system is in place so you don't look like a dork all the time*. Mod community is now going wild with CDPR's blessing. The game is beautiful (this depends on your GPU. I'm rocking a 3070ti)
Cons - *I really dislike you can't play in 3rd person. What is the point of having a Transmog system if you can't see your character? No Multiplayer (yet). Combat can be a little spongey. This is a problem only for people that are into FPS games (like me), but for those that aren't - this is not a real issue. I don't *really* think this is a big deal, but it makes the game much more accessible to people that don't like hyperkinetic FPS gameplay, but don't pretend this game won't kill your ass. It's arcadey-vs-realistic which is fine.
Long game - CDPR just announced a full expansion is incoming, and it will have multiplayer (which could be amazing). And there are demands that they put in 3rd-person (but that's a stretch). But this expansion is supposed to be a huge deal... until the sequel drops which will be in Unreal 5, in a few years, so we'll see.
