So first of all I bought this game 2,5 years after release in hopes that by now surely all the bugs were ironed out. Oh boy!

The bad:
The game kept crashing on me every 2-3 hours and I'm running a rather high-end setup.
I still encountered a lot of T-posing, clipping, broken quests that I had to restart (e.g. elevators wouldn't turn on and I had to reload so they are operational)
While most keys are customizable, you still have a couple that are hardcoded which is just stupid at this point.

Story-wise it's a cringefest. Feels like the game was written by two high 14-year olds that were trying to one-up each other with the "cool factor".
Most of the time it makes little to no sense - one moment you're yelling at Neo that you will f***ing kill him, cuz he's a virus, the VERY NEXT minute you're best buddies looking for some bootlegs CDs of his concert. Absolute nonsense.
There's a crap ton of scripted events where you have the illusion that your actions matter, but it's all on rails and you have no real agency.
There's a lot of extremely slow-paced moments, where you're sitting in a chair looking at several different cut-scenes glued together in one unending display of writing ineptitude.

The meh:
Most of the sidequests and gigs are just cookie-cutter bs, meant to lengthen the gametime, but they're just not worth bothering. After you've done 3, you've done them all.
The dialogue often makes as much sense as in Fallout 4 - you're being tricked into choosing one of the dialogue options, only to learn that you'll actually say something completely different.
Bullet-sponge enemies and looter-shooter mechanics are not my cup of tea and in my opinion are cheapening the experience, but I understand some folks like it, so they'll probably have a much better time with this than I did.
Driving mechanics feels rather off. It's like you're driving on ice for most of the game, until you get a couple vehicles that actually seem to have some traction.

The good:
Well... the game looks good I guess?
Some of the quests were decent enough, that maybe the two high 14 year olds writers sometimes got some adult supervision. Or maybe they got lucky. Hard to tell.
I would put this game in the "so bad it's good" bin. If you don't take any of it seriously, like stupid writing and can get a chuckle from weird bugs, then you might spite-enjoy it, like I did.

PS:
I just watched a gameranx video about the upcoming DLC and apparently the story is supposed to be as good as in the base game, so it sounds just fantastic.
In my playthrough of the base game I turned out to be a space thief, which was just such a fitting conclusion for this dumpster fire, that you've peaked my interest. As the classic goes - you son of a b****, I'm in.
