So, has anyone played? How is it? Keeps crashing? Now I can't trust the developers at their word. It's better to return the game when it really is normal.
I put some hours into 1.5 on my PS5 and it finally seems to be fixed. No more crashes, no more glitches, nice performance. Go for the patch my friend! And enjoy.
I started with the free trial and bought the full game before I finished the 5 hours, free of issues on PS5.
After I bought it I had the first chrash in about 3 hours, and roughly a crash every other day after that. Please note that imho the PS5's system software is not free of issues since I had other games crash as well while still running perfect on the old PS4 Pro.
NPC's sometimes still T-pose for a second (training mission) or seem stuck in each other in a way Sony might find indecent

The dual-sense controler sometimes start clicking the R2, this seems only to happen in this game so far. Strange enough the og controler does it always after about an hour but the additional (black, I can't mix them up) almost never.
At times the game loses all controler input except thumbsticks when returning from a hack or inventory menu to the world.
On other occasoins reflections and shadows oddly are replaced by random textures.
During the ripperdoc dialogue it crashed after a cutscene and the autosave made it start in a way it was stuck between a previous cutscene and next dialogue.
Perfect? No, far from that but sofar nothing that was not solved by saving and re-starting that save. At first I restarted the whole game but now I'm lazy and just restart the last save.
Playable? ABSOLUTELY! I love the city with all the noises and radio stations
