It was amazing on day 1. It wasn’t perfect, but a diamond in the rough just like every single CDPR game that came before. Put in hundreds of hours and encountered a few visual bugs, a single bug that caused me to load a save from a couple of minutes ago and some peculiar design decisions. Despite that the game was largely a masterpiece.

I understand some console players got completely shafted, though so I get why there was a backlash.
