A good character is defined by perspective, ordeals, strengths and weaknesses, laurels and flaws, their objectives, the key moment(s) that drove them to where they are, how far they're willing to go to get things done, their moral ground and what its worth, etc. Once you start looking into all of that and more, you'll find yourself connecting with the character regardless of differing physiological or physical attributes. This isn't the author "forcing" you into a role, rather, this is the author encouraging you to broaden your perspective, appreciate the uniqueness of a character who is their own, to be introspective and find common ground. Both the Witcher 3 and Deus Ex handled all of that very well in my opinion, so the protagonists' sex is never a good determinant of basically anything. Cyberpunk has one feature Deus Ex and even Witcher 3 did not have and why I buy Cyberpunk. Not being forced to play a male.
