Well, after hours of waiting, and hours of downloading I've finally got, Dark Messiah M&M's demo.
It features a dark story (always a pro) and multiplayer battles. The game looks very, very, good. The game looks simply amazing, but it comes at a cost. I experience some severe framerate drops and a 1280*1024 res with no AA and only binary filtering, but we can hope the game get's optimised a bit before final release.
The combat is devided into 4 different parts, melee, magic, ranged and stealth. Besides simply swinging a sword you can also kick enemies unto spikes, over ledges or set off traps.
The magic seems pretty cool and a lot more versatile than you might expect, but both the ranged combat seems a bit unrewarding, melee combat is especially cool with the daggers, as it seems like you're a lot better than you actually are, kinda like in the PoP games. And the adrenaline kills are pretty cool, though scarce.
I think this game can work out both ways, I hope that the combat gets a bit more fast paced, at least in the MP and that the story is indeed as good as it's premise.
Anyway, if you've got a reasonably powerfull pc, definitly check this demo out, but it won't be replacing Gothic 3 as my favorite upcoming game this year.
