The game has a distinctly half life (2) vibe, certainly in the opening which works well to set the tone for the rest of the game which carries itself well, though the gameplay is what really bring the enjoyment out of the experience.

Textures are good for the time, rain effects (especially during time warping) are AMAZING

The game is more than ten years old so I think *anyone* should be able to run this maxed out at 60 fps.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The only saving grace is that the time manipulation elements are very fun to play with and that the highest difficulty made me interested in using some tactics around it and that the weapons themselves are reliable and some of them are very fun to use due to their destructive power.
