Cyberpunk 2077 is a shadow of what it was supposed to be with to potential of filling it's expectations. Slowly over time the game has improved, performance and game play wise and has many quests and areas of the map to complete.

It can be immersive at times however the NPC interactions are non-existent and the Police are one of the worst implementations of Police in a game. With the lack of NPC interactions, the game feels very empty, dead and very lonely at times. A perfect word would be "Hollow".

Perks and Skills are really cool but it's a shame you can't max Perks out, which can block alternative options in the game. Hacking is very satisfying and the gun play is diverse. Haven't tried out every gun since some just completely suck. Driving is smooth and customisation for your character is great.

Apart from the main game, quests and map missons, the game lacks minigames or some other form of infinite entertainment around the map. Most if not all great open world RPGs have minigames or something to kill time. Once you complete everything in Cyberpunk, there's not a whole lot to do. You can definitely see where people come from when they say that the game is "half baked" or "incomplete".

Graphics are incredible and performance has definitely improved since Day 1. I've probably come across 4 big bugs in the game, with one had me thinking the bug was intentional. I've played through the game to completion a few times and rarely came across many bugs when I played through it again and again.

Story is decent and isn't breathtaking, the 3 character options you get at the start don't do much bar a different opening ~20 minutes of the game and dialogue options throughout the game. Soundtrack is amazing and fits the game perfectly. Voice acting is also pretty good.

Hopefully CDPR have got a good look in the mirror after this horrendous launch. CP2077 is a clear example of a troubled development leading to a buggy and problematic outcome.

Final say: It has it's ups and downs like most games and it's launch was rock bottom however the game has definitely improved performance wise and I would recommend this game. Since it still lacks features that feel necessary for a game, I wouldn't buy this game at full price, $30 is the max amount I would pay now after playing it and that's stretching it. Maybe $20 like The Witcher 3. The game is not a must play but during a sale it wouldn't be a bad purchase.
