Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
While the story/dialogue is somewhat confusing, the actual gameplay elements are truly one of a kind.
26 of 140 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
Co-op is available, and playing co-op can help make up for the game's shortcomings by making interesting combos possible.
11 of 140 sampled reviews raised it
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
In fact it handled better than Tomb Raider for me, and even allows you to use the Emotiv Brain Computer interface, for really getting into character as a mighty telekinetic.

Linux compatibility
Players who bring up Linux compatibility mostly praise it.
So after playing this game shortly after launch on Linux, I have to say, that even though I have not tested it under windows, 30-40 fps with a GTX 970 just doesn't seem right.

I purchased this to play on SteamOS with a wireless gamepad (xbox360 controller), this experience was pretty horrible.
