Nobody else is talking about it, so I will. I bought it last week and beat it the other day and it's pretty fun. It feels like Bioshock crossed with Resident Evil crossed with Half Life with a bit of Alien thrown in for fun. It's the standard story of an unwitting repair crew being sent to a huge mining ship that's gone out of contact after "cracking" a planet's crust to extract minerals. Of course, as soon as you get there, your ship gets destroyed, half your team gets killed and you get separated from the other half leaving you, the lowly engineer, to fix everything. You get a fairly standard array of weapons and a kinetic booster which functions just like the gravity gun in HL and a stasis module which slows down fast mechanical things (like doors) or enemies. Combat focuses on you dismembering your enemies with well placed shots as shooting for the torso does less damage and tends to piss enemies off more than anything. Ammo is scarce enough to have you worried when you're down to five shots with your fusion cutter and there's a large dark room that needs crossing, but unlike RE, if you're out of ammo, melee attacks aren't instant suicide. There's a store where you can buy various weapons, ammo, medpacks, suits, and whatnot and you can also store stuff there if don't have room to carry it. New items become available when you find schematics for them and bring them back to a store. There are also upgrade benches where you can improve the capabilities of your weapons and suit with power nodes you find along your way. Each weapon as well as your suit, kinetic booster and stasis module have separate trees to install nodes along, increasing capacity, damage, and range as well as decreasing reload time on weapons and increasing health and air on suits and duration and range on the kinetic booster and stasis module. The scare factor of the game is mostly "things jump out when least expected" (except you can usually see an ambush coming a mile away) but the real scary parts are running from enemies you don't have the ammo or health to fight and desperately need to get away from. There are Zero-G and vacuum situations too and enemies will not hesitate to attack you from every angle at times like this. There aren't many boss fights, but they're pretty epic when you do reach one.

Anywhoo, rant over.
