Decent overall

Starts out like a horror game focusing on sneaky pistol and melee action. Then it becomes totally submersed in the whole time aspect and the Time-Manipulating Device that grants the player force-like powers.

Edit: I played this from start to finish straight 9-10 hours or so. I probably would've enjoyed it more with separate sessions.

My first impression of this game, when it was unveiled, was it looked to be just another Quake 4 or Wolfenstein–but after playing for a few hours I was pleased to realize that it was a bit more. The game itself plays a lot like traditional shooters, but utilizes some pretty interesting mechanics that make the game play stand out a lot more. Think Bioshock meets Doom and FEAR, well sort of...  The game uses the Unreal Engine so it looks a tad dated, but personally I like graphics because everythi...
