Preview campaign is awesome. Weapons have a good kick, game is fast, fluid & frenetic. It Looks old and feels fresh. Can't wait for more. (Be careful, it's only half an hour long for now. I purchase to support, but it's not worth 20€ as is.)

I wasn't expecting much after Amnesia AMFP and mixed reviews for SOMA. Man was i wrong. The narrative is amazing, the ambience is seedy and spooky, controls are great, graphics and audio as well. I won't spoil anything about the game, just play it, it's awesome and i'll remember it for a long time.
The game was fair, i played it with three friends and we had fun and good discussions for the 2 hours it lasted. There is no clear explanation in the end (or i didn't see it) so you can only be confident about what you found out, you won't have any confirmation. Some ideas are totally unexploited and useless, can't spoil but it's about the identity of the player in the game. I'd say it's worth 3/5 in my opinion. However, i'll penalize it because the developer has done a movie based game and didn't think it was a good idea to embed the codecs. So the videos didn't work at all. I had to lookup on strange hosting websites for re-encoded assets that would work, but i still had no sound so i had to watch the videos without audio. Honestly this is a very stupid error and proves the game has not been tested enough.
It is the most unstable and unfinished piece of sh*t i've ever played. You won't be able to finish it unless you tweak endlessly, switch compatibility modes, restart it very often etc etc.. And i'm very used to do all that kind of stuff, and i usually don't complain. It's really a shame because the game is quite good (although not that good). There are some good ideas, and for a very short amount of time, you really feel you're a FBI agent in a redneck city trying to solve a murder case. Don't waste your money, watch a playthrough on youtube, or get it on console. This is really unplayable. Shame on the developers. And also a little on GOG for having such garbage in their calalog.
