Comments:

Fully playable including the platinum trophy, BUT...
A lot of pop-in, occasional frame drops, texture flickering in an early cutscene as well as in the open world.
NPC Car AI gets stuck in narrow driveways
After one delivery we were stuck in our car and couldn't move. Fast travel fixed it.
German subtitles and tooltips are dreadful at times. They read like a very bad AI was tasked with a word-by-word translation. For example,
the word "enter" in the tooltip for entering your car was translated with "Eingabe", the German equivalent of the Enter-button on a keyboard.
And there are several examples of this in the first one or two hours already.
Camera during a dialog was pointed towards the wilderness instead of the characters.
Sometimes pressing X doesn't pick up the parcel from your car, but simply shuts the lit again.
During the arcade minigame in the diner THERE IS AN XBOX BUTTON PROMPT. Says "Press A for..."
Toggle for the car's radio stopped working early on in the game.
Sometimes you just can't pick up parcels from car. "X" simply shuts the lit again without taking the parcel out.
During a certain quest you need to choose between fotographs you've shot before, but they are all just black squares.
