It certainly is a game of all time.

I now have a zombie werechild trapped in my walls that won't die.

Just finished playing through the game again (first time was at launch) and I gotta say it feels a lot smoother and a bit more fleshed out for sure, but still seems like a game 2/3 of the way complete.

The main story is incredibly short. The main story missions are fantastic and are real experiences, but the game has a hard cut-off - the "Meet Hanako at Embers" quest that will lock every side mission out. However, MANY of the best side missions like the ending of the companions quest lines only trigger once you have the option to end the game.

This lead me to spend a bunch of time skipping time/sleeping/just running around waiting to get the phone calls to complete these. I ended up missing a bunch of the best missions outside of the main story on my original play through.

Outside of that, there are still tons of bugs: invisible cars running you over, having to reload saves to get quests to work properly, people holding guns in cutscenes, ect. This leads to you having to look up fixes for some of these issues while in the middle of an otherwise immersive mission. The bugs that remain are more annoying than game-breaking, unlike at launch. There are other issues like the driving that can be fixed with mods, but that is more a minor issue to me.

Cyberpunk is a game that seems to be missing a large chunk of content towards the end, and is still littered with minor bugs, but is still well worth the time spent, especially for the higher quality missions. I'd recommend getting it on sale if anything just to try it out :)

If this game had a crypto miner in the files for some narrative reason I probably couldn't be too mad
