No, not really.
I can't even start the game from Steam. The problem is that the developers decided to use Flash-based video... yeah, you read that correctly. Steam always makes sure you have the right stuff installed to play the game, so it tries to install a specific version of the Flash player. This is okay if you don't have Flash installed or have an old version, but mine is the latest. :\ I disabled the Flash install portion of the start-up script, but now the game won't start-up from Steam. I have to launch the executable manually.
To actually talk about the game... it's kinda annoying. The camera loves to swing around (and you can't control it). You're forced to move around in a 3D area with WASD, which becomes a bit annoying when you're trying to jump from platform to platform. Combat seems to lack that sense of fluidity that you get in games like God of War, and not to mention it seems that the insta-kill effects on tougher enemies doesn't seem to work sometimes. I can hit 'e' (the use button), and I just kind of sit there like an idiot.
I just downloaded a save that put me at the raft for the summer event. The insta-kill actually worked there, but I got the achievement and that's what matters. 😛
