A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I mean admittedly I don't read cyberpunk as a genre, but as an avid reader I find that hard to believe. My two standout sub-stories are the intro heist and the expansion's main story, and while those are awesome, they're not exactly literary masterpieces. The rest of the game's story is... amateurish? But not in a bad way? Like, it's servicable as the thin motivational veneer you expect from an open world game, and doesn't stand out either way, which is more or less what you want from your open world story: To not get in the way. The last few parts are quite bad though and show how much the story must have been cut apart and pieced together to fit a release date.
Is it really outstandingly good comparing other cyberpunk works?
I was mostly talking about Phantom Liberty part - it is much more interesting and better executed than anything in the base game.
Oh yeah definitely. The expansion was such a cool thing, and the limited scope really helps it rather than hurting it.
