Cyberpunk is not Blade Runner.
It's clearly inspired by Blade Runner, but also from Ghost in the Shell (flying hologram fishes), Judge Dredd (megablocks) and probably some other works too. At the end is its own unique thing.Yet Cyberpunk creator Mike Pondsmith has said that back in the 80's when he wrote the Cyberpunk RPG, he basically ripped off Blade Runner and that the movie's aesthetics are essential to the genre.
So let's not pretend that Cyberpunk and Blade Runner don't have clear similarity in style.

Sure. I agree. Especially the mega buildings definitely give off strong Dredd vibes.
I still think that Blade Runner aesthetics (neo-noir vibes, gloomy city lit with neon lights etc.) are kind of a staple for the genre. So I don't think expecting that is unreasonable.
That being said, I'm glad that the game isn't constantly dark and rainy. That would get tedious pretty fast. But looking at the city as is, it just doesn't feel like the polluted hellhole the lore of the game hints at.
ending V and Pam are living large? when what where???
Well it depends, Silverhand's story takes place in 2020 I think? And the city is there already futuristic so in 2077 it could be way more.It's 2077 not 2177, the city looks true to its setting.
yep when it comes to gripes of the open world its definitely the lack of interactivity meanwhile yakuza 0 has 27 unique mini gamesthere is absolutely no interaction with city only 2 JoyToys and the rest of map is kill gangs.

This is one of the gripes i have with the gaming community many people lie to themselves when they fail to mention that many of Cyberpunks issues are problems that have been leaked from the witcher 3I won't direclty compare it to WItcher 3 because the environment is really different
