Until they optimise it for PC I wouldn't remotely recommend it. There is undoubtedly a fun game to be experienced but right now, the performance seems absolutely abysmal.

Will re-review when they sort this out, but given the fact they allowed it to be released in this state. I'm not remotely convinced that is even possible.

Update: I've managed to wrangle reasonable performance out of the game running in 1920x1080 with largely high settings (though shadows on low) and with all the motion blur etc turned off as well as V-sync (though enabled in the Nvidia Panel) on a i7 9700K 32GB RAM and 3070ti GPU. Which has reduced the frame hitching to some degree. However, with that said. I've had the game hard lock on me three times now during cut scenes in Koboh with there being no option of than to shut the game down in Task manager and then restart. If you are going to play, make sure you save regularly before story points.

Update further to patch (23.05.01). Definitely much improved performance for me with the patch, running at 1440p with everything set to Epic save shadows (high) motion blur disabled, Raytracing off, FSR set to performance. Generally getting 55-60 FPS for the most part.
