Completely worth 3x the price. It's the best fighting game I've played. Everything from weapons to armour to body parts are accurately modeled, with physics-based combat instead of scripted animations. There's already a modding community growing around it.

I'd give it about a week or two before performance catches up with the demo. Most if not of all the negative reviews are calling out things they're already addressing in day 1 hotfixes. It'll probably flip to Mostly Positive by the end of February and maybe reach Overwhelmingly Positive by 1.0. I have the same faith in it that I did buying the kickstarter alpha version of Rimworld.
