I build rail networks and cities in most of the games I play. There's something cathartic about building that's different from the catharsis of destroying or stealing.
As for CP2077, I actually like that they included cars because it's a dystopia. If cars, stroads and limited access motorways are the worst transport system ever, which they very much are, use them exclusively in dystopian future worlds and you've basically driven home the point easily. Of course, the fact that there's a metro system in Night City would cut into that, but clearly the people there have bought into carbrain like nothing we see in real life, judging by the disdain going on a date by train gets and the description of how the saying in Cyberpunk's world is de facto "Bread, Circuses and Automobiles" since the 1950s.
If anything, their over reliance on cars is a very anti-car artistic statement.
Maniac (2023) is a series you might like. Despite the name, its more of a cassette futurism cyberpunk world with a scary amount of dystopian parallels to our own.
