This game just released a week ago on PC. Anyone played it?

It's been described as "Gears of War with a gravity gun". Not exactly like the gravity gun from HL2 (although you can definitely throw things with it), but rather, you can create spatial anomalies that reverse gravity and cause things to float in the air. You can raise enemies out of cover, pull them toward you, punch them in the face, and throw them into walls. It kinda reminds me of Bulletstorm's leash mechanic.

I just bought the game yesterday and I'm having a blast. It's filled with great set-pieces... destructible environments, collapsing buildings, cars flying through the air, explosions, and lots of other stuff for action junkies. The zero-G environments are actually quite coherent and fun to navigate, oftentimes you'll engage in firefights while floating in mid-air.

I'm running through singleplayer right now, haven't finished it yet but I suspect I'm close. Then I plan on checking out multiplayer. It's good fun IMO.

it has campaign coop mode?

Yup, the story mode can be played in co-op. If you're just playing by yourself, then you'll have an AI-controlled partner helping you (who's actually quite competent).

I just beat the campaign last night. Took me exactly 7 hours. Haven't checked out multiplayer yet.
