The show had more time to flesh out David's relationship with his crew, especially Maine which is what they should've done with V and Jackie in the game. The game should've let you run through the jobs they did together and all the antics they got up to instead of just giving you some 1 minute flashy cut scene - you're basically given the final missions you'd have together and it missed that emotional impact you'd have had if CDPR wasn't so obsessed with Keanu Reeves.
I enjoyed Edgerunners, but that's because I enjoyed 2077. If you've played through 2077 then you know it's never going to end well for the main character and it's basically a ticking timebomb before Night City consumes you. They did a good job with this. The David Martinez drink at The Afterlife makes sense now.
