This isn't a linear game, it's a seamless open world with no loading times that's attempting to implement a variety of art styles, mechanics, play-styles, destructible environments (Limited but it's there) within a massive city that has 6 unique districts + a fairly large wasteland outside of the city called the badlands.
3 distinct Lifepaths offering 3 unique introductions to the game with roleplay opportunities that can meaningfully impact the game, multiple endings. There's the Net/Cyberspace which we've only seen a glimpse of. There are even rumors of going to space, sure there's more I'm forgetting and they haven't revealed yet.
I'm not sure what people expected? IMO, this game looks great technically and artistically. Hard to judge until we actually play it, but the gameplay looks good as well.
We'll see in a few months how it all turns out, so far it's looking even better than I could've hoped for. Compare the recent footage to 2019's Deep Dive video, the game if anything has been upgraded.

although Cyberpunk is denser, it's smaller in scale and with wall-running discarded it's unlikely that we'll get much verticality.
in all honesty I hate their engine, the specs the game asked for TW3 and now this are totally unjustified
