In it's current state, I cannot recommend this game. I refunded after giving it a fair shot (90 minutes)

Pros:

1) The game is absolutely gorgeous, and does a passable job creating a grim atmosphere.
2) The ambient sounds are really well done, if a little muted for my taste.
3) Voice acting in the first 90 minutes was very well done. Even the robots sound badass.
4) I love the premise, totally something I am normally very much into.
5) 90 minutes in, the writing for the game seems very on point. Unsure if it gets worse the longer you go, but so far I really liked it.
6) 90 minutes in, no actual crash to desktop. So there's that.

Cons:

1) Constant framerate drops and stuttering. Walking into a room with flames resulted in my screen actually jittering up and down, almost like it was vibrating. Awful. Stuttering during cutscenes was positively ridiculous.
2) Lackluster combat mechanics, imo Wasn't that fun for me.
3) The last minute Denuvo inclusion really irks me. I feel like it is an impossible position for the Devs, to be fair - as early sales likely make up the majority of $$$ games earn, and they need to reduce piracy during those early weeks and/or months - But since that doesn't stop piracy anyway, I fail to see the point. It hurts paying customers way more than anything else.

Bottom line, the game seems OK at best - And may be a much better game without the constant stuttering and jittering - But either way is no way worth the asking price. I would recommend picking this up on a deep sale many months from now.
