Mack the WAB guy published his review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3nuMwmgdg4 As has been common in recent months, I agree with most of what he has to say, except that for folks with good hardware will run into a whol new class of bugs. Mack typically does his review on a modest GPU that is below the spec of typical enthusiast-level rigs -- in a way that's good because I'm not sure a mainstream review should ever assume the player has high-end hardware, and it gives him a chance to pan a game based on poor optimization that would affect a lot of folks. However given the current state of bugs for the high-framerate crowd, I would say that his rating of "thumbs up but with buyer beware" is a bit too kind, and at this point my recommendation is to wait and buy it deeply discounted. Until I ran into some of the showstopping bugs I was happy with the purchase, but now not so much. Id recommend it at about the $30 US price point.
