Main plotline is rather short and presented in a way that actively discourages from enjoying it. Instead of an open world RPG you'll get a horrible, scripted rail shooter with constant screen flickering, character tumbling, falling over, and that a barrage of dialogue you often can't skip, not to mention often lack of choices. If the game wants you to go somewhere in a scripted manner, then by God you'll go there, listening to some dialogue written by a thirteen year old girl. The whole plotline might have taken around 12 hours and I swear, around 2 - 3 of those felt like Virtua Cop - although in Virtua Cop you could always shoot at something. The plot itself is very good, but the way you're supposed to go though the whole thing - I'd rather eat my own beard than re-live that experience. I actually hate Keanu Reeves now. With that said, the open world side is hugely enjoyable, side missions and plotlines are fun (in fact way more enjoyable then the main one), characters are well written and believable, and the game is good at utilising its cyberpunk premise. Combat and character/stats development offer multiple way to approach challenges and almost everyone will find something that suits his/her unique way of playing There's one bad thing though and that's the vehicle mechanics - no matter what you'll drive, it will always feel like a box filled with potatoes. NFS Hot Pursuit had more enjoyable driving, and that game is as old as the mullet haircut. Don't even compare that to the 3D GTA games. Overall not something I'd enjoy going through again, but I'll probably come back a few times just to get rid of another bunch of criminals in a creative fashion.
