I finally got around to beating this game with the extra days off and it was fun to play. It is a good but not great game IMHO but you might want to wait to catch it on sale somewhere first. I am surprised that I haven't really seen it on sale anywhere outside of placed like Best Buy and Gamestop selling it for $39.99.
 
Thanks, never heard of this game before. Bought on ebay and received it today. Can't wait to play!
 
I just finished this game today on the PC and I can easily recommend this to FPS fans that want a good single player experience.

Easily worth the $25 I spent during that last Steam sale and then some. It started out slow and I was underwhelmed but then suddenly the story takes off and so does the level design. Yes, it salutes other FPS's like Bioshock, Fear, and no it doesn't break any new ground but somehow it just all comes together with its own unique spin on the whole thing. Fun time travel story and gameplay concept as well. A good romp.

I liked it. I'll even call it a dark horse/sleeper hit for the year 2010.
 
I finished it recently and had mixed feelings about it. The plot in general got more interesting close to the end.

I felt that the overall gameplay was way too 'hand-holdy'. One specific example is early on there's a sequence where you're running from the bad guys and a 'mysterious female voice' suddenly starts talking to you and she basically says "just run through the open doors" - and that's literally what you do. If that wasn't easy enough, she periodically chimes in and tells you to 'turn left' or 'turn right'... makes the whole experience feel like they're trying to guide a retard to the finish line.

There are countless scripted events where you're just a spectator. For example when one of the bad guys crawls along the wall to 'creep you out?', if you shoot it nothing happens - not even a blood spurt reaction. I learned to just ignore what was going on around me if I wasn't engaged in a fight because honestly none of it mattered. So many of the 'moments' felt so scripted, it really took the immersion out of them. There were a few scenes where they even give you an infinite ammo gun to shoot at the specific spot they want you to shoot at - aka, hold down the trigger and spray around your screen regardless of what gun you had equipped before. What a let down.

The ending was interesting and the overall gunplay was alright.
 
I just wish they had somehow incorporated more of the past into the plot. I thought the game looked a lot better while playing in the past, when everything was new and shiny. But yeah, a lot better than what I expected.

I would probably put this on my sleep hit list of 2010 also. That list includes: Two Worlds Two, Just Cause Two, and I have to say Metro 2033, a game which I knew nothing about, but loved (I actually finished it).
 
I started playing the game today. Completed the first 3 chapters, which it turns out is half the game. However, the FOV is so low that my eyes start hurting after playing for a while and I had a headache after playing. Apparently there's no fix for the FOV either :(

The game seems decent enough but the FOV is really killing it for me.
 
I pretty much agree with the last three posts. I would have loved to pull that FOV back a little bit.

I wouldn't have minded more time jumping and time spent in the past, either.

The game starts out really slow and unimpressive. I also agree there are a few too many scripted bystander moments where I would have simply preferred to keep the gameplay going but hardly atrocious offenses. I definitely agree with too much hand holding as well.

If I'd had bought this game at full price I'd feel "ok" about it since I've wasted money on worse games in just the past year at full price like Kane and Lynch 2 for example.

At full price I wouldn't give this game a glowing endorsement. I'd be like "If you have money to blow for nothing and desperately just need a single player FPS fix...*shrugs* You could do worse."

For the sale prices of $30 or less it's a lot easier to recommend to people. I'd give it a 3.5/5 stars overall.

There are three endings depending on that choice you have to make.

One, or the other, or even both. People that have played the game know what I mean. ;)
