If you like shooters and cyberpunk stories: Yes.
The shooting is great, the world is cool as fuck to explore, and the story is on point for the genre.
If you don't like shooters or cyberpunk/sci-fi as a genre it probably won't change your mind. The gameplay isn't mind-blowing; it's pretty average though the combat somewhat reminds me of Dishonored except without teleportation and time manipulation other than bullet time. The story is mostly well-written, but there's one jarring plot hole about half-way through the main story, and the pacing is a little weird when it comes to interacting with Johnny because of the open-world nature; the dialogue, though, is good throughout.
As an RPG it's very light. You have choices, and they matter and some of those choices you make by leaving dialogue and just doing something (like shooting a machine or just leaving the area). But you don't get these all the time, and when you do you have like 3 or 4 options. The skill tree is big, but it's also a mess (even now after it's been reworked twice.) I always find myself overwhelmed by how many options there are, but underwhelmed by what they actually give.
What's the plot hole again? It's been a while since I played.
