I was thinking a bit about this this morning, Cyberpunk reminds me a lot of the first Witcher game, there is a lot of stuff in it that is unpolished and it has antiquated answers to issues that other games have solved, the disappearing cars when you look away and then back again being a good example of this. It also made me think a bit more about the Witcher 3 and what I enjoyed about that game, it was the characters and the story, the combat and the gameplay elements were not that great but I put up with them because I loved the world and characters so much.
Cyberpunk I don't have that same connection with the characters, some of that is because I haven't built up a relationship with them over two previous games but another part of it is the fact the main character is first person and is more of a character that you are moulding and all the interactions feel different. Because of this the story doesn't have quite the same impact and it is left to the rest of the game to do a bit more heavy lifting than in the Witcher 3 and unfortunately in this regard it is only really good enough.
