I don’t claim to know much about this but I guess it pulled a No Man’s Sky and patched in everything that needed to be fixed or added. And it’s half off on steam right now so I’m considering pulling the trigger. Should I?
Yes you should. It is indeed good, fun to play. I caught it on a previous sale, and have been enjoying it on the Steam Deck.
I think it depends on your opinion of what was “wrong” with Cyberpunk to begin with. If your issue was the bugs, it’s a lot more stable now. If your issue was that the story was unengaging and player actions lacked weight and consequence, adding more of the same isn’t going to do much good.
Much like your No Man’s Sky example - if you thought the core gameplay loop was lacking before, you probably haven’t changed your mind no matter how many little goodies the devs have added since launch.
Adding a post here to encourage people who haven’t played it yet to wait until Phantom Liberty drops. It looks like it’s going to massively improve a lot of the base game. That’s what I am going to do.
Bugs aside, Cyberpunk 2077 was always a good game with an excellent story, but they haven’t put in everything they teased originally yet. It got a lot of bug fixes and QoL changes. For 50% off, it’s super worth it.
With the next dlc it seems like some further reworks to AI and perks are coming so it should get even better.

(On PC).
it ran like absolute shit on PS4 and Xbox One, but on current gen and PC the game has always been great. The backlash was overblown and was mostly from people who didn’t play it.
Was there bugs? Yes. People clipped into walls and cars flipped suddenly, but no worse than your average Bethesda game. I didn’t have a single game breaking bug my entire playthrough. Just some funny ones.
While some elements were deeply overblown, a lot of it was pretty bad and deserved. Don’t downplay what happened, the game was delayed and then delayed again. Only the final release date had been for after current gen hardware and they obfuscated the awful performance. Early eviews of the game had also required stock footage. And that’s just from the fiasco around launch.
