I haven't played the game long enough to really get a solid feel for it, but played it long enough to get a first impression.

The game looks fantastic .. great textures, great use of the cry engine. but as with many Cry engine titles, optimization tends to be a problem, and this game suffers from those same issues.. even with a high end build you will experience stuttering and frame rate drops when textures are loading.

the controls are horrid. I don't know why they felt to need to make you hold down the right click before you can shoot your gun with the left click and on top of that throw in the use of the "shift" key to zoom so that you are now holding 2 buttons before you can fire your weapon using a total of 3 different buttons to perform one simple action such as .. firing your weapon.. I often felt like I wasn't really in control of my character .. sometimes I would be holding the right click but it wouldnt be "half zoomed" like it's suppose to be in order to fire my weapon so I would have to release right click.. then press and hold it again to get back into the firing position.
all of this is going on while I'm in combat with some of the (very well designed) monsters and creatures in the game, which ends up with my hunter taking substantial damage (or dying) which due to the nature of the game results in permanent consequences as when your hunter takes damage, it keeps that damage at the end of the match, and if he dies he's dead, and you will need to hire a new one. Because of the poor control implimentation I felt like I was being punished for their lack of insight and development prowess you'd expect in a first person shooter that otherwise LOOKS fantastic. this teamed up with the optimization issues can make for a rather poor experience that leaves you feeling cheated by the game itself and your inability to control your character or predict when a lag stutter will strike.

In the future they may be able to polish some of these kinks out as it is an early build. however for the asking price of 30$ It's a definite no from me until the game has been updated significantly.
