I've hyped this game up amongst my friend group for years. Planning my current build specifically around the release date. I give it 10/10 in my book, but it will definitely disappoint in multiple areas for most. The combat is extremely repetitive, on maximum difficulty I completed almost the whole game with the baton and item management is way too easy. The ending is terrible, and the fact Starkiller is the main antagonist (no spoiler, he's the 3rd best rendered character in any store screenshots) and is only present a few times in infuriating; it's staged to be a cliff hanger and left me kind of aggravated.

Now for the good; it's absolutely gorgeous. Running a 6950XT, 5800X3D, 32GB @ 3600Mhz, I ran through the game at full max settings upscaled to 4K with very little stuttering or graphical issue and around 90ish fps. Atmospherically, it is absolutely stunning and the micro details on a notebook, or a desk coaster, or random lab tray are astonishing. It's gorgeously put together but it does require a diesel engine to really enjoy. The story is compelling and plays like a movie, there is a lot to be desired as far as character depth but at face value it's well put together.

All in all, 10/10 for me, will absolutely sit in a tent to wait for the DLC, and I strongly suggest it to any and all Deadspace / mid-gen RE type gamers - on sale. It's not a $60 title. If you do play it, please smack tf out of every frozen enemy - for me.
