Pre-ordered (which got me the Day 1 edition, as if that mattered) for the heck of it and played it for a couple of hours today. Fantastic cinematography, graphics, and lighting if only it wouldn't have the dreaded microstuttering that plagues UE games. Surprisingly pedestrian compared to its Dead Space progenitors with many details copied over, right down to the costume and gun designs. The combat system is almost DOA - if it weren't so viscerally fun I would have stopped playing almost immediately because it only really works when you're fighting 1 or 2 enemies at the most or otherwise spamming gravity manipulation until it runs out.

Overall a mixed bag that did live up to the hype in some ways, but I already returned it. Perhaps I'll buy it again when it goes on sale (and has had a few more patches).
