CP2077 is genuinely good now, having finished a second playthrough to cover the Phantom Liberty DLC it's shocking how much better the game is compared to the 1.x versions. If you don't have the DLC I would recommend picking it up now, rather than doing what I did and playing through the game a second time for the DLC; It will only serve to enhance your first playthrough and although the base game is in a great state now, I wish my first encounter with CP2077 could have been the 2.1 version with the DLC.
Overall I’m pretty pleased with CP2077 full and latest (steam) version. Started like a month ago and I’m close to 100hrs.
Playing at 3440x1440 high settings + medium RT + FSR2.1 quality. No visual artifacts. Reflections are in a very high level visually.
There are some bugs still here and there, like small objects (weapons mostly) hanging in mid air, but those are rare.

I could recommend the game easily.

I'm still salty about that change during the development 'Sony paid them or whatever', I mean when the game was announced as Project EvE it was a PC game and now its PS 5 exclusive and who knows whent its coming to PC..
Oh well I'm playing their other cultured game 'Nikke' for 1.5 years now and it just had a big update 1+ day ago so I can get my fix there. :laugh: 'At some point we are also getting a Stellar Blade collab so at least I can probably get Eve in that game'

I didn't know in the original one you could create side quests for shop items until I played Forbidden West. So many surprises.
