Great story, unpolished implementation
The good. The story and the characters are the true highlight of this game. The story is engaging and after the intro it drags you on until the very end. Some complain that the story puts too much pressure on the player and distracts from exploring the Night City, but I think this is not a bad thing - you are supposed to feel the pressure in the situation the main character got into. And it should be noted that you aren't on a real time limit either, you can explore the city as long as you wish to. The characters are authentic and well written, especially Johnny. They truly grew on me, and I found myself deeply caring for them towards the end. Most of the side characters that appear in side quests are not simple dummies either, they have a background that you uncover through dialogs and texts found throughout the game. Some appear in the final credits to indicate the results of your choices. The bad. The common sentiment is that the game feels incomplete and lacking in content, balancing and polish. Lots of bugs in this game, and they are still present in version 1.23, 8 months after release. Luckily, most of them aren't fatal. Large sections of the city are empty, as if the devs didn't have the time to fill them with content. There is a single hacking minigame, which you will be doing a lot. Brawling is completely broken - the hitboxes are insane, evading is next impossible. There aren't many weapons and their leveling is arbitrary. Character skill tree has many useless skills and not too many interesting ones. Crafting is pointless since you find a lot of good stuff in the world. Bottom line, even with my complaints above, I feel that a lot of bad reputation this game gets is overrated. Yes, the downsides are real, but when I ask myself if I liked the game, the answer is a definite yes. I enjoyed the story and characters and that overweighted all the downsides for me. If you are also looking for a good dystopian cyberpunk story then this game is for you.
