I'm no fan of the 2077, but thinking of it solely as a shooter is doing it a bit of a disservice given that you usually* have different approaches to in-game situations.

You can build around hacking, engineering, speech checks, melee combat, stealth cyberwarfare etc.

I felt that the projectile mechanics were sort of neat but I will agree that I don't think the game really has legs when merely thought of as a FPS. Perhaps it had some potential in the past, part of their PL govt funding agreement was to release a multiplayer mode as well. I'd imagine that'd focus a little more on gunplay, and slightly less on QuickTime interactions involving hacking and such, but who knows.

*there are situations which require direct combat iirc

I recommend giving it another try if your only experience was the game on release. It really received a labour of love and has very fun gameplay options. I went for a throwing knife slow mo grenade build and had a blast throughout the whole playthrough
