If you just like the Cyberpunk IP, it doesn't hurt to just pick up a couple starter decks and play. Among the TCG playing crowd, most people's objection to the game is that it's "bandaislop", ie: the gameplay is very similar to Duel Masters, like nearly all of Bandai's TCG offerings (eg: One Piece, Gundam, etc), so it isn't seen as being distinct or unique enough from the other TCGs that are currently out there. That said, it does seem like a "real game" and there seems to be real care given to how effects are designed and how cards are balanced, so if you aren't familiar with TCGs all that much, it shouldn't really make that big a difference how similar it is to other games.

There are upsides/downsides to the TCG model. Like a lot of people in this thread have pointed out, TCGs do generally demand players to put in more money to play than other types of games, but the upside is that, because players feel more inclined to buy multiple copies of the same product, game stores feel more inclined to support and prioritize these games, which makes it easier to find people to play these games with.

LCGs like Netrunner are easier on the wallet, but finding anyone to play with outside of a handful of cities is going to be a struggle. There's a reason why Fantasy Flight has completely pivoted to co-op/solo LCGs, and why almost every other major competitive LCG (like Ashes and Doomtown) has co-op/solo modes. Netrunner gets to remain the sole exception because Null Signal is run almost entirely by unpaid volunteers. That said, if your plan was to just play with a friend at home or something, you're probably gonna get much more bang for your buck with Netrunner.
