This game is cutting-edge... It's a nice break from dark FPS's, and it shows how to use light and darkness effectivelly in a game.

Doom3, take some lessons.

I loved the flashlight, and the action sequences are only about 7 times more exciting than in Doom 3. It's kinda like Crusader: No Regret/No Remorse... Only in 3d and with much better atmosphere.

The character animations are a little funky, but overall, the game is very atmospheric. The weapons feel very powerfull and the upgrade system is easy to use.

The fixed camera is kinda cool - in a retro sort of way. It sure focuses the action. Where in an FPS you would be flailing the mouse like a madman, here you have better overview and you can move coherently, especially when multiple monsters attack.

Kudos to the developer, I am preordering this one. PC gaming is not dead (although this would make a nice console port :))
