Less people randomly walking in every direction and more people just randomly sitting on broken down cardboard boxes.

Cyberpunk 2077's Cyberpunk was entirely aesthetic. I have zero faith in the devs being able to actually address those issues in a meaningful way.
Which is a shame because the genera's whole purpose was to criticize how capitalism would subvert potentially utopian technologies to make everything worse.
