Turns out, it probably isn't. Half a year ago I wrote a post about Watchdogs, a game not totally unlike Cyberpunk 2077, and how I couldn't play it because of my difficulties driving a virtual car in a game like this. So I was immediately struck by the video reviews I saw of Cyberpunk 2077, where the reviewers not only spent a good amount of time in a car, but also visibly and repeatedly bumped into stuff while driving that car. Look, if a professional video game reviewer can't take an exit on a highway without scratching his car, I'm pretty sure that I won't be able to control those cars well. And as there are apparently quests where you need to race somebody to fulfil the quest, I am now wary of this part of the game.

Also, one of the reviews I watched was from Gamespot, and it was a lot more critical than other reviews. It mentioned one point which has bugged me before in other games: The game allows you to build your character as you wish, for example making him/her a hacker instead of a fighter, but then the main story forces you into a boss fight, where you regret not having put your skill points into fighting skills.

I don't think I will buy Cyberpunk 2077. I think I would like the RPG part of it. But ultimately what a game is depends mostly on what activity you are doing most of the time in it. And as far as I can see, in Cyberpunk 2077 that would be shooting and driving. I'm not really attracted by that.
