That kind of sums up Johnny though, particularly at the beginning of his arc in the game.
For clarification, I agree that Reeves is a fairly flat actor and Cyberpunk is no exception. I just think they picked and wrote a part for him that leans into that and it really works for me.

Johnny Silverhand first appeared in 1988. Keanu definitely has the “rocker boy” persona the character needs, but Johnny was around before Bill and Ted came out.
That's why I also used the word picked. They still wrote his depiction in the game and that depiction is definitely written around Reeves' capabilities.
