It's honestly a pretty good game, speaking as someone who didn't follow any of the hype or coverage before release and went in blind, with no expectations other than it being a crpg (I should also note that I'm playing on PC). The main quests are good. On the other hand, I fully agree that it should have been delayed a few more months. The traffic AI is the biggest issue imo.
I GM both CP2020 and Red. 2077 is a pretty good adaption of the tabletop game (the combat has become super videogamey and simplified though). Cyberpunk as ttrpg isnt for everyone, it very thoroughly rebukes the idea that history is shaped by individuals and a lot of people dont like playing games like that.
2077 also has the weirdness of trying to be like the ttrpgs and also being a modern openworld game. The best parts of the game are the half hour conversations you have with people, but then you drive around and get screamed at constantly as you zip past the million gang hideouts. The game thrives in subtlety, characters hands shaking when they're nervous or having a rough time of things, subtle eye contact.
