This is a very well designed and high production book, and there are some very neat ideas.

Being familiar with DnD 5E, I initially thought that this would be an easy transition into cyberpunk.

While it is partially true and you wil definitely find some familiarity with DnD 5E, unfortunately 5E also starts to show its limits and there are now better systems to play Cyberpunk.

Ultimately, I find the game too tactical and not enough focused on the narrative aspects. I agree this an entirely subjective view but I have grown out of 5E and this will not work for me.

Go for it, if you really want the 5E framework, it will be a nice change out of the fantasy genre into the world of Cyberpunk.

Having seen a number of adaptations of 5E for future settings, GeneFunk 2090 is the vision I find most compelling paired with mechanics my groups have enjoyed. This is a strong follow-up volue to the first and I hope we'll see more.
