    Has anyone played it yet and would you recommend it?

    I seem to be reading a lot of mixed opinions on it - some are bemoaning the very boring gameplay whereas others are saying its very atmospheric. I'm considering purchasing it and it's selling for around £18 which is almost a tenner cheaper than most new PC games.

    For a good average opinion on the game i would check Metacritic.com. Which it says its averaging about a C right now.

    Metacritic has 3 reviews. One from Eurogamer whose opinions I generally don't pay much attention to (though I have read it), and the other two from Russian and Czech publications respectively. I was just asking here hoping to get a more personal first hand opinion from soneone on these forums.

    I don't really care much for other peoples opinions on games, me personally I'll def be picking up this game once I build a good PC rig, the mechanics of the game look quite simple and I love that in games.

    Of course I can't guarantee if the game will be any good but from the looks of it it looks really promising, and everyone has they're own tastes.

    To be honest I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a pile of steaming crap before purchasing it. I went ahead and ordered it last night anyway; at worst it will be something to make use of my new hardware - at best it will actually be a good game, so I guess it's a win-win situation ;)
