TLDR: Very fun game with some optimisation issues.

The game itself is very fun, and if you are a completionist expect to spend more than a hundred hours playing. However, the PC version has its quirks. I will list some minor and major issues to consider before buying:

1. If I am in fullscreen mode and I alt+tab to switch processes, the game crashes instantly. I don't know if this is just an issue with my setup, but it is very annoying.
2. While this game has better 21:9 support than most, it still isn't perfect. Menus were clearly designed with 16:9 in mind.
3. Framerate varies wildly depending upon where you are ingame. In a crowded city, I can't manage to hold 60 FPS even on "average" settings despite having a decent computer.
4. As many other people have noted, some objects, hair, and cloth "flicker" and jump around, as if their physics aren't working properly.
5. Camera angles/positions are pretty bad.

Of all of the issues I listed, the framerate is my biggest gripe. It is clear to me that this game isn't optimised very well for PC, seeing microstuttering and frame drops everywhere even on lower settings. If I could give a "mixed" review, I probably would. If you like the series and are eager to try this game out, go for it! Just keep in mind that performance and optimisation is a mixed bag.
