Maybe finisher distance matters. But it happened to me on 2.13 as well.
Maybe you should try yet for a while?

Hmmm, maybe they removed that one animation?
What version did you start your playthrough?
No, zero mods. I just downgraded cyberpunk to 2.0 and 2.1.
And you are clearly confusing finisher animations because there are several of them.
That bugged one doesn't appear in your video.
I checked on version 2.0 and it worked PERFECTLY then. Now it looks lame and dumb because the blade just hits the body with no effects.
This is not how the head should react after being hit by a blade. Before it looked so cool and gory.
After 2.0 (How it should look like):
After 2.1...
Okay, let me get this straight.
The game still has a lot of serious and annoying issues and CDPR wants you to enjoy it and refuses to fix it?
Now it's all up to the modders, right?
I mean, it's already 2024 and the game is still buggy as hell. They could at least release a redkit for cyberpunk. This would help modders fix this mess a lot.
