When the game works and is firing from all cylinders, it's truly a blast.
The game itself is great and I enjoy it very much.

But currently, I can't recommend it due to various issues.
Among log-in issues, which I can live with, they managed to kill my performance one patch at a time.
The game ran beautifully, barely dipping below my capped FPS of 75, with the launch version and patch 1.000.004. I had medium CPU usage and high GPU usage, as it should be.
Every patch after, meaning 1.000.005 (which they even had to roll back), my CPU and GPU usage switched places, literally did a 180° and therefore I ended up with degraded performance.
There was no visual or performance gain from these questionable optimizations/changes, quite the contrary, whatever they were doing to fix it for others, they were killing it for me.
I often look at permanent 80-100% CPU usage now and at most 6-50% GPU usage, the latter highly fluctuating but generally suspiciously low in around the 10-20s.

CPU: i9 9900K @ Stock
MB: ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XI HERO
RAM: 16GB Corsair Dominator 3200
GPU: ASUS STRIX 3080
PSU: 850W Corsair HX850i
SSD: Samsung SSD 970 EVO 500GB NVME m.2 and Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB SATA
HDD: None
Display: 27" 1440p 144hz LG 27GL850 (GSync compatible)

I'll change my recommendation as soon as these issues are leviated and they clearly can be because they were caused by the patches.

We're currently at version 1.000.12 and the issue still stands.
