Got cracked yesterday by a Pole, took roughly 4 weeks.
Picked it up last week, pretty solid stuff, though the multiplayer sucks (no big surprise).
Started on both campaigns, and the first one is definitely superior. Played it on the Xbox back when it first came out, but I've already forgotten a lot of it, so it's a pretty fresh experience.
There seems to be too much gunplay and too little sneaking in Dark Athena, but I just got to a new planet and lost all my guns, so maybe there's more melee action up ahead.
One thing that's kinda neat is how most of the boss fights so far have focused on melee combat. But agreeing to stick to melee with that negro rapist you release from the cells and then just whipping out a shotgun was hilarious.

Seems there's a no gore bug.
Clockwork Knight
Arcane
Some review I read said it's good for people that didn't play the first one. Getting both would be like buying both versions of a pokemon game.
Tried the demo. There's not much room for stealth. The enemies don't come to get you if you stay still while hidden ( kinda realistic, they don't want their necks broken ), so you have to shuffle around or shoot to attract their attention, but then they swarm you.
One guard was being stubborn so I tried to make him angry. He comes running at me and stops right as his back is turned to me. Not sure if that was supposed to happen or if I'm just lucky.
