almost all of the cyberpunk and almost all of not romance focused games incorporate a complex world building and the concept of introduction of a specific technical terms, planet names, dimensions and etc. is common (at least of what I have seen and played on itch and steam). It is a quite some amount of info to go through at the beginning, but these details are what makes story more alive, readers more invested. soo...I cannot agree with you on that part
Maybe try to get into the mood for the story (it is not a dating sim where things happening around MC and love interest and focused on their relationships 70% of the time), and try to play with a game, make this choice and that, and just to experiment =)
