so RD2 is in the same boat then as cyberpunk?

I heard it was story heavy so thats why but yea GGTA isnt my cup of tea

Gameplay-wise there is a level of similarity between Cyberpunk and RD2. Those, however, mostly stem from a similar kind of feel in the systems that most western RPGs use (sort of like how if you say "JRPG" there are a lot of systems that you can expect to see).

In any case it is far closer to GTA than RD2 though depending on what you like/dislike about either game can determine how much you might like Cyberpunk. For instance, the story is fairly different than either of the other two, but I would compare it more to RD2 in that it's not actually a complete joke. While there are problems with Cyberpunk's story the idea of thinking that GTA's story is anything more than a vehicle to keep the ball rolling is laughable to me. RD2, by comparison, actually has a story worth caring about at all. Inversely, Cyberpunk has a post-modern aesthetic which puts it closer to GTA in terms of its visuals/general feel (ie. both RD2 and GTA have guns, but it's very much a modern versus retro sort of appeal). Thus depending on which exact things you like can move it in either direction of whether or not you'd like it.

That said, for $10 (or less) Cyberpunk is pretty worth it. Even if it doesn't click with you I suspect you would still sink quite a few hours into it before deciding you didn't like it. As much as people like to decry it for being a "lifeless world" there is kind of a lot to do once you leave the tutorial, and the tutorial itself is one of the more engrossing segments in a game.
