I played Cyberpunk at launch and while I had some bugs, I generally really enjoyed it and did each of the missions in the game,

I decided to replay it since it’s been updated a lot and I’ve found that I’m just bored when playing it. I think I spend about half the time just skipping dialog and the other half shooting.

The combat sections seem to pass too quickly just to have a bunch of story to wade through.

Maybe I’m just in the mood for a different kind of game.

I'm no fan of the 2077, but thinking of it solely as a shooter is doing it a bit of a disservice given that you usually* have different approaches to in-game situations.

You can build around hacking, engineering, speech checks, melee combat, stealth cyberwarfare etc.

I felt that the projectile mechanics were sort of neat but I will agree that I don't think the game really has legs when merely thought of as a FPS. Perhaps it had some potential in the past, part of their PL govt funding agreement was to release a multiplayer mode as well. I'd imagine that'd focus a little more on gunplay, and slightly less on QuickTime interactions involving hacking and such, but who knows.

*there are situations which require direct combat iirc
