I look at this game in two different ways.
1. Story and gameplay.

-8/10 Story The main story will keep you hooked, you won't be able to guess out the endings. You'll want to play it through and maybe make a new character and get a different ending. Most of us will just load a save point and try to get all the different endings. I did basically every sidequest I saw, Some poor people being mugged? yeah i stopped and saved them. Oh a relationship quest? sure, lets have some fun.
-7/10 gameplay was fine, if your after a shooter looter, with some melee elements, then yeah its fun. The story, the sidequests, the perks, they add up to a pretty fun game. Abilties are a ton of fun, get the right perks and cyberdeck and you can clear out a building of enemies through walls completely undetected, in several ways. Tired of cyber hacking enemies? well you can physically hack at them with mantis blades or a katana.
2. The World.
-5/10 The World. The world just seems hollow. You got a big ole city buildings all rendered, world all mapped out, buildings everywhere, but 90% of the buildings are inaccessible, there are plenty of areas that are clearly removed due to lack of time or budget cuts. Skyscrapers and apartment buildings everywhere but none of it is accessible. One of the biggest problems with games is that its in a city, I understand the huge amount of work it would take to make all the buildings have something, but the problem here is? 90% of the city is just filler. You walk down the street and the street is just there to be there. Map is huge, but there is only a few areas in the huge world thats actually used in a meaningful way. Most of it is just there to be a background for when you drive around.
My problem with it is basically, 90% of the buildings in cyberpunk 2077 is equivalent to the trees in the witcher 3. The only purpose they serve, is to make the place feel less empty.
If you expected a witcher 3 world, with buildings with random stuff inside, don't.
