Here's IGNs review. Much more in-depth than the first review I posted. Delves in to the mechanical side a bit more, and more of the RPG side.
Looks like the release will be bug-ridden, based on the early word. It might be a game best served by waiting 3 months. But I don't think I can do that.
It's interesting to me, reading these reviews, how split the reactions are to Silverhands. Love him or hate him, it seems. A recurrent theme that is intriguing, is how often these reviewers are talking about how choices made at one point have some unforseen effect many hours down the line. How much the experience and story changes based on what you do or don't do at some random point way before. Entire quest lines flipped based on choice. This suggest a relatively high replayability for a game like this. But there is no escaping the bugs. Every review talks of them, and these aren't the minor sort you may not even notice, but jarring ones that break the immersion. These can be patched out and I'm sure will be. But after so much time and so many delays, you'd hope that it was released in a more refined form.
