This game is certainly not what everyone expected, so it got the controversy it did, among other issues. But I love it, because it feels alive and rewarding and keeps calling me back, more than the Witcher did. I have longed for a game with a city that feels alive, and boy did Fallout 4 disappoint me in that regard, just to make a comparison. Night City is a beast of a place, the anime certainly helped, and the music in this game really adds to the feeling, especially since some of the pieces have some lore interaction etc. But this city feels alive, (yeah, dont look to closely, technical stuff, but if you glance over it and just focus on your own thing while playing, you will see what I mean). I want to be there, i really feel like i am in a heartless metropolis. Small little stories everywhere around me, dirt, violence, jokes, blasts of music from every direction.... The perk and attribute system is nice, and in itself offers replayability value, on my 3rd run right now just to punch people in the face with gorilla arms. And boy does it feel funny to blast someone across 5 meters with a shotgun and see them flopping on the ground :) The issue with the story is a big one. It's short. Some people might argue thats its simple and nothing new, but i loved being in it, and i just wish there was more. You are very free in this game also, even on my third playthrough, where ive been thourough on every one, i still find new ways to tackle "enemy camps" and find new details i never noticed before. So despite all the hate and controversy, i thank the people who made this game, i really see the love put into this one.
