It's an impressive demo. The lighting effects are quite nice, especially the rolling dapples of sunlight, the mist of moisture in the air. The platforming is painless, you just run and jump, the character animations take care of the rest. Combat feels fairly polished - there's an effective over-the-shoulder aiming and cover system (press O next to a block of stone). I didn't realize until my second playthrough that you can dive by running and pressing O. Also, your character has an effective melee attack, making close-quarter tactics possible.
One nice touch: they obviously spent some time on the characters and voice acting. And the hint system is clever -- if you're not sure where you should go next, press L2 and the camera zooms to where you should go next. We'll have to see what the full reviews say, but right now it feels like a keeper.
