**UPDATE**
Ok I'm changing my original review regarding how the game played as it seems the problem was actually the nvidia gtx 970 that was causing the stuttering.
So now I have gone back to my 780TI all the problems I listed underneath don't seem to be as bad and the game is more than playable.
It even allowed my to play it with DSR tuned on (A geforce resolution setting) which was a massive no-no with the 970.
Won't comment on the game as of yet, due to me being only a few hours in, but so far its enjoyable.

{{ORIGINAL REVIEW}}
Ok can't really give this a postive review In its current state.
Reason being and probably you've already read this game is broken.
Playing the tutorial everything plays fine, wouldn't say ground breaking graphics but ok.
Then when you step foot into the proper outside enviroment this is where problems start.
It drops frames everywhere for fun and for no reason what so ever, Sound cuts in and out random, Lips are out-of-sync and you get massive pauses when a cut scence kicks in.

Its a case of what nearly all games seem to be these days, bad console ports/rushed out/broken on release.
I mean FFS give out the games to a few selected people with different rigs and let them beta test for you.
This day and age there is no excuse what so ever to release such broken games on release.
Who the hell do they employ to say its ok to release such broken tripe?
If i bought any other product so faulty and broken I could get a refund, This is where laws need to change ASAP why should the law be any different for digital items eh? We pay our monies regardless of it being digital or a phsyical item.
Anyway rant over, hopefully Techland sort this problem out pronto.
I really am losing faith in this industry alltogether with the way we get treated these days.

Yeah I have the exact same issue with a massive frame rate drop when you first take the elevator to the ground floor, but setting the graphical settings to lowest makes it run fine.

Still, though, optimization could be a LOT better considering the graphics aren't amazing and it still lags.

i think its so far only broken for you probly cause you either have a shit system or something in general broke on your comp/game. ive been running the game semi-fine (fps drops cause i have AMD but i can still KINDA play) so idk what your talking about.

i heard a good way to raise fps is to look through one eye drunk wearing an iron maiden..

It's clearly ok to release in this state.

I heard a good way to really raise FPS is to lower the View Distance.
