It's not the game everyone hoped to be but it's very good when including the expansion Phantom Liberty. You should give that one a try. It's probably the best expansion CDPR has made so far, or at least on par with W3 Blood & Wine (I'm still not sure, but I have to give credit for their huge effort with Phantom Liberty). It (alongside the 2.x patches) was CDPRs genuine effort to save the game and their reputation, and I think they succeeded. The base game without the expansion can get very boring in the second half of the game which is why I consider PL to be mandatory. A good time to start Phantom Liberty is just before going to Embers to meet Hanako. If you haven't played it for a long time, you should play it again with PL, it's really well made.
