Been playing for a week or so. At first, feels like a very clumsy game. The graphics are well below par - especially the landscapes. The characters aren't that great either.
Narrative is poorly written (and dull) and the story is stunted by the stop start flow of everything being broken down into chunks (missions) and having book ends with points awarded - similar to Devil May Cry 1. That was ok over 5 years ago, but not now. Really silly thing to do IMO - just stops any flow the game could have.
Once you get past the very low production values (on pretty much all fronts), there is a half decent game trying to get out.
Combat is it's best attribute and apart from being a little too complex, it's a decent enough system and tech.
The two things that kill the game for me though are:
1. VERY low production values - looks like a last gen game.
2. My God it's dull. Dialogue, story - I got bored very quickly just by the game presenting itself in a dull way!
Current metacritic average rating: 46.
