I'll be the first to admit that I have some bias when it comes to Cyberpunk and CD Project RED as I have enjoyed Cyberpunk 2077 even before it entered its present optimized and feature-complete state, so take this with a grain of salt:
It was a witch hunt turned to 11. I have finished the game from start to finish on a base PS4 in its 1.0 version, some weeks after release (although patching was very frequent so hard to say if it was still 1.0 by the time I finished it). Were there bugs? Yeah, sure. Was the game unplayable? Hell no.
The game is immensely better now and it should have been in this form from the start but the narrative that was pushed online conflicted with my personal experience 8 out of 10 times (when I didn't have cars flying through buildings, I guess).
