Came back to it at the beginning of 2024 for the DLC. In my first playthrough, my experience was a bit tempered with bugs and myself not deciding on any particular skill tree. Even ignoring the DLC, I had lot more fun this time around.
The main storylines keep you busy, and almost all the side missions are no less fun with well fleshed out characters. Even the small gigs usually have some kind of unique twist or character to them, so it doesn't just feel like a chore going through them all - I wish more games dealt with them like that. The music is great as well.
In general, the world and characters around you feel much more alive than say GTA, though Cyberpunk of course had the advantage of being released much later. Unfortunately, the random npcs that aren't delibaretely placed, e.g. ones just walking along streets, are nothing but annoying.
If only most cars didn't feel like you are driving with input delay on icey roads. A few smaller points of interest/random interactions scattered across the world would have been nice as well. Occasionally there's also the awkward pause between lines
In general just a well made game with an array of lively characters and an engaging story. If you want a 5 star adventure on top of that, I'd recommend the Phantom Liberty expansion.
