Cyberpunk, at it's core, has promise. Unfortunately, the completely unfinished state it was released in is questionable at best, and potential class action lawsuit material at worst. The story is interesting, but is held back by CDPR syndrome: Protagonist is a gruff tough guy (TM) who only speaks in sentence fragments; The world stands on the merits of someone else's worldbuilding and source material; the underpin of 'eurojank' (low polish, low level of writing, low level of scaling) spoils the engaging nature of the world; AI is atrocious, and borderline painful in how pathological it's decision-making is. Other characters are interesting, and are capable of full sentences. The world is interesting, and deserves areas/groups other than nomads to be fully fleshed out. The conclusion is satisfying, if a bit trite. There is a complete lack of late game activities - at level 40, all activities are trivially easy, and not much is left to do. Full price for the game, you'll get maybe 50h out of it. That's decent, but not great given that it could be so much more. At it's core, this game rides on previous goodwill from other CDPR projects. Wait for serious sales and serious patches and expansions. 50% GotY material.
