I beat it, 100%, and did all endings.
-Main quest is great, and all the endings are really well done. It is pretty linear though, no real big "branching" points until the last hour or so.

I guess saving Takemura kinda counts as it is hidden, but doesn't seem to have a huge impact aside from the Arasaka end mission
-I think
every side quest is worth playing (except the boxing one which I cba to do). I'm not sure I got to the end of the Peralez/mayor one though because I

told the guy he was being spied on and that his wife knew
. It is stupid that for some side-quest chains you have to keep skipping 24 hour periods to get the next quest with no warning as such. Like, at least send a text saying "I'll get in touch in a few days" or whatever.
-Of the "tickbox" quests, the "assaults in progress" are pure filler, but the gigs are much more fun.
-The world, the aesthetics
-Driving still sucks even with bikes / 3rd person. They've really got to fix this shit.
-The game needs New Game+, preferably a "everything is scaled to lvl 50 and encounters are tweaked". It kinda sucks that now I have good gear and good perks I've already completed all the things.
-I think the skill levels are kinda borked. I never hit (or got close to hitting) level 20 on anything through 100%ing the game. Instead I had to craft a lot of shit. On a related note they need to add in more $$ to the game.
-I encountered bugs, but most were clipping bugs or the occasional UI/sound fuckery (stuck subtitles, stuck in scan mode, stuck phone call, etc)
Overall, I award the game a 98 Metacritic and the "Cyberpunk as fuck" award.
