If you liked Witcher 3 you'll like this
You've seen it all already. The game is buggy, campaign is a short, dialogue options aren't super intricate. Even so, this is one of the most memorable games because of the setting and the crazy places that allows the story to go. The biggest reason to wait is because of the bugs but tbh the PC version is in decent shape (if it weren’t for COVID I’d be pissed). Whilst I encountered one or two that forced a reload, the rest were simply weird things that should be simple to sort. If you’re really worried about these then wait, based on their track record they will fix the issues but of course that’s yet to have materialised as of writing this. I’ll try update this once that happens (likely when expansions come out). The campaign is much shorter than the Witcher 3 but tbh I’m happy for it. I don't have too much time these days to devote ~80 hrs to one game (how long the Witcher took me) so 40 hrs to complete is nice and makes it more feasible to replay in the future. imo, the campaign is short because there are quite a few story related side missions revolving around other story characters once they drop out of the main campaign. They did this bit quite well because they’ll naturally drop out but you can still do missions for them. There are also loads of side missions that tell their own unique story about life in this terrifying future and you never really know when a mission will have some insane twist that will really make you think. If you are still concerned by the length, then wait for the expansions to come out. I think the point that people really don't like are the dialogue options not really changing the course of the narrative that much and this is completely fair criticism. The only things your choices really impact are standalone side missions and they also change how much a character likes you and that could increase the amount of side missions that character has for you (don't know that for sure but based on the missions it would make sense).
