Got the beta demo of this game, I was pleasantly surprised on how they fixed the major problems (cover system) and improved on a few things in a brand new "handheld-camera"-style look.

I was excited for the previous K&L game but became disappointed since it felt rather rushed. Hopefully, this does it justice (and it seems like it will from what I played

)

Umm... what was on the Playstation Store last week that I downloaded then? (and no I'm not a Plus subscriber)

Unless this is just saying it's available on all of the above platforms, of course.

Didn't like the demo. The cover system and gritty, floating camera look was nice but the AI sucked and the gunplay wasn't great.

Just played the Steam demo. Its pretty good, better than K&L 1 anyway. Wont be a release buy for me though. Wait for sale I think. Runs well too which is good to see, not a sloppy console > PC port.

I really should download this, even though the original was far from spectacular, I'm still a huge fan of IO. The first game wasn't as bad as people made it out to be, the characters made it worthwhile for me.

I also love the new look they've taken here, it looks like some sort of handheld camera effect - like a Paul Greengrass movie.

Wow just played through the demo, this game looks amazing.
I'm in love with the camera work, that **** is just stunning.

Seriously every other game developer needs to take note that the camera can be interesting and not just sit 6 feet behind the charecters shoulders constantly.
