Deliberately didn't play this at launch for obvious reasons, but now that I finally had the chance to check this out, I enjoyed it quite a bit for what it was
The pros of the game are definitely it's characters and it's story. There's a great mission variety for an open world game and even doing run of the mill stuff like the fixer missions never got boring. The game also has great progression. You've of course got your skill trees which can alter the way you can play but the ability to also level up your character with implants really helped to make you feel like a badass
The main problem with the game and what drops it below elite standard in my eyes is how 'on rails' everything feels. The best open world games have loads of organic occurrences in it's world and there's pretty much none of this in 'Cyberpunk'. The game at times could also feel clunky as hell - especially the driving and despite definitely being more polished than what it was when released, there are still annoying bugs (mainly with the UI) and I did suffer a couple of hard crashes
