You should compare to GTA V to Dwarf Fortress - the systems in Dwarf Fortress are way better. Dwarf Fortress is 18 years old.
I get that people see Cyberpunk and GTA as natural comparisons, but as someone who couldn't get a couple of hours into GTA without being bored but loved the Cyberpunk world, they are very different games.
GTA is an open world sandbox to play in with a linear story tacked on as filler.
Cyberpunk is a collection of small narrative episodes with choice and consequence dropped in an open world as filler.
edit : That said - I do think every game should use Euphoria if they can. That shit is dope.
