Having completed 4/5 endings and completed 100% of the side-missions in the game, I cannot recommend this until CDPR improves the base playability.

While the story is decent, and can even be quite engaging at times, the amount of bugs are massive, and range from small visual glitches to issues that will require reloads/restarts to resolve.

There comes a point where you start to wonder if wading through the chest-high flood of issues is worth the slog to unwrap the story at all.

Finally, the amount of variation in the options for the endings feels lacking. While the situations and missions do differ in the playstyle and length, the ending options basically always boil down the two familiar options (barring one or two variations).

As a personal gripe, I would also say that a majority of the endings can be rather grim, even if you've really gone out of your way to ensure you've done/seen/resolved all the gigs, side-jobs and missions on the map. The lack of agency in the endings is a bit disappointing considering that some choices you do make throughout the game do have relevant impacts during your play-through.

I won't say that I did not enjoy parts of this game, but it would be better to wait for some patches to come in and resolve the worst of the issues, so that the actual missions and character development can be enjoyed without constant distracting glitches or immersion-breaking bugs.
