Some early impressions..
Couple of hours into it, the combat is fun... it's very easy, though. Even on Hard. As long as you are constantly moving and cycling your powers, it seems very difficult to actually die. I feel like the enemy could be more aggressive to be honest, some of the fights feel a bit underwhelming due to it. Hopefully it's just because I'm still fairly early on in the game. The collectibles all seem pretty easy to find, thankfully, and a few of them are well worth doing so. Some of the Chronon things require a bit of extra exploration/platforming but nothing that will baffle anybody. So if you're like me and try to find everything on your first go, the pacing of the game isn't going to be completely destroyed!
The weird frame blending technique they're using is very inconsistent. You can go large stretches of play without noticing it then it'll become very apparent and it's ugly as hell. The game overall looks pretty great, though. I've not felt any big dips in framerate either which is refreshing as the other game I'm playing on my Xbox atm (DS3) is a fucking nightmare in that regard.
The first TV segment was interesting enough, though by the end I was itching to get back to shooting and charging into people with my shotgun so it probably could have been 5 minutes or so shorter. It also had horrible compression issues in darker scenes (streamed version, ain't downloading 75GB...)
It's certainly got that Remedy feel, though! Looking forward to playing more tomorrow, got a horrible headache now else I'd probably play for hours more, was enjoying it that much.
