I played the demo on steam today..

Great premise to the game. The preview on the website is actually more exciting to watch than it is to play the demo. That is primarily because you are very limited in what you're able to do in the demo.

I'm dying to find a new game to play, but I'm not sold on this quite yet. It reminds me of Thief, which was a great game, but failed to keep my attention. I wonder if anyone out there has seen more of this game to give a better view on how it might play out.

I wasn't impressed at all by the single player demo for this. It reminded me of a poorly done version of Hexen, by someone who isn't familiar with how to make a fun FPS/RPG.

It seems more like a gameplay demo than anything else. But it looks promising. Kicking foes off ledges, onto blades and fires seems like lots of fun. It reminded me of Thief too. I saw some AI flaws in the game that I would hope gets fixed other wise it may be just average.

The AI was pretty ridiculous. I shot an arrow at a rope, cutting it and letting loose a bunch of logs that swung back and forth. None of the mobs noticed, even the ones standing right next to it.
