Well, mixed reviews ain't gonna stop me either, from trying it out.
OP
Just started playing the demo. Some points I observed:
- Almost completely stealth based gameplay, enemies kill you in like two hits. Bigger enemies will kill you in one.
- The screen is in a permanently cinemascope-ish view all the time. That means, some of the top and bottom portion of the screen are black strips, not unlike older movies. Not sure if this is because its the demo version or not.
- The sanity effects remind me of Call Of Cthulhu, another Bethesda game. Also, copious amounts of film grain adds to the atmosphere.
- The color palette is somewhat dull and smudged but not in a bad kind of way.
- You can sneak up on enemies to kill them quickly from behind.
- Remember to burn any body you see, chances are they might rise when you least expect it.
- Ammo is in short supply, so you have to be creative in taking down enemies or try to avoid them.
- You can collect some sort of green liquid that you can spend in an alternate dimension (I think that's what it is) to upgrade your health, stamina, ammo capacity, etc. The alternate dimension appears to be a hospital of sorts. This dimension is accessible via certain mirrors in the game world.
- Story is mildly interesting so far.
Will give a proper review when I finish the demo. The demo has three chapters.

Real fun starts from chapter 4 . Lot of exploring and smart enemies . This game has everything a survival horror game should provide , scarce bullets , use of environment , stealth , exploration , quick thinking , upgradation and decent story . The best Survival horror game i have played after RE4 . The only problem is the lack of graphic option and unoptimized port .

I am the master of my Fate.
Started playing this game.
I will update to latest patch as I also don't like black bars.
the player's execution is too gory (just like RE or Silent Hill)
in Chapter 1 when the executioner goes inside and the player have to take the keys from the table.
but after taking the keys I was viewing the gory surroundings and all of a sudden the Executioner came & chopped off the player's head :eeksign:
