Well I definitely recommend it now. Per my original review: I would change it after they improved it. They sure did too. Runs stable. Far less frustrating. The additional hours don't lie. Spent a lot more time experimenting with builds and guns and actually started memorizing streets in the city. Realized I should probably take a break.

The Good list:
• You can now craft multiple items in stacks instead of one at a time.
• Clothing is more diverse in styles.
• Great selection of guns.
• Improved rewards from fixers that seem more appropriate to their personality.
• The DLC is amazing for story/mechanics.

The Bad list:
• I think the DLC has been out long enough that I can get away with a small spoiler. At a certain part at a certain story path, it turns into a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Outlast clone and I'm not a fan.
• Pop-ins
• Cut scene models out of place
• Being aggro'd by enemies from behind walls and well outside of their sight range
• T-posing
• Acrobatic corpses that perform flips in place long after dying
• Bloom drowning out everything after un-pausing the game
• Guns flickering
• Color of guns in menu not reflecting their in-game models once equipped
• The game outright crashing

I don't recommend it, I would be open to "buy it when it's on sale" being the real judgement.
Sometimes the game is fun, but I'm not sure how after a year of updates and patches, the game runs even worse for me.

This is a year later. A year of supposed development and polish to sort out the bugs. No changes to my hardware. The only changes would be OS updates to Windows 11 and that doesn't justify that I am effectively playing a less reliable game than when it was initially released.
