I wish I could recommend this game, but I can't. Even after all the updates – which did fix a great number of problems – the core of the game hasn't changed. The world still feels ... dead. Artificial. I want to go to a club and dance. I want to sit in a bar and order copious amounts of dubious-looking liquids. I want to get my hair done at a barber and get tattoos in a tattoo shop. I want to ride on a train or take a sky taxi, join a gang and beat up some rando who didn't pay his bills.

But you can't do any of these things. You can count on one hand the number of places where you can actually interact with the game world. The rest of the time you're just going through the motions, doing what feels like the same missions over and over, just in different locales.

This game is not an RPG. It's an open-world shooter. If you're looking for the chance to immerse yourself in a cyberpunk world, you'll need to look elsewhere.
