I'm surprised we've had such a different experience. Have you been doing the side quests?

I want to add that Deus Ex is hands down my favourite franchise, I've played every installment multiple times (except Invisible War). So I didn't make the comparison lightly. I'm not suggesting it's exactly like Deus Ex, but I think calling it a luke warm copy isn't doing Cyberpunk any justice either. It's got elements from Deus Ex, but it is a very unique game with it's own approach to the genre.
