I concur, it feels like good old fashion fps fun! Although, if the first level is anything to go by, I am death incarnate is far too easy.
4670k @ 4.4 and a R9 290 1150/1325. I'm maintaining a steady 60fps on ultra at 1080.

I don't know if you can call the first level a level because a bit later the actual game kicks in (you'll know when)
I like that you're constantly bombarded with action though. not in the Serious Sam kind of way which I never liked but in the relentless "you won't have 2 minutes to hang around and admire this scenery" kind of way.
Can you think of an actual example, a finished game rather than a project in development?
Nothing you've listed above (with the exception of the far cry sandbox) has moved gaming forward imo. CoD and Boringfield most definitely do not in any way shape or form have the best multiplayer experience, in fact i'd counter they've put gaming back several years.
CoD and Battlefield took a formula that was stagnating (Counterstrike) and pushed it to the next level. These 2 franchises shaped an entire generation of games, generated hundreds of millions in revenue, most of which went back into the industry. They offered high quality entertainment to millions of people for countless hours, at a franction of the a price of films, in example. To say they put gaming back is laughable. I don't like the DLC business model and yearly releases but most of the gamers don't seem mind so they buy, they play and, most importantly, have fun, which is what any game should aim for.
The blind CoD/BF hate borders irrationality in the same way fanboism does.

Dunno - I found there was a bit too much going on at the start while it tried to rapidly push new concepts and random sequences of keys to do simple stuff that often you'd never use again (or atleast so far its been unique) against the fast flow of the action also I need to tweak the settings a bit more as like RAGE my eyes struggle a bit with fast paced stuff (possibly due to the texture LOD rapidly fading in and out as stuff is streamed as you move - I tend to try and track small changes on screen after so much time spent playing FPS games). Most games I can sit and play for hours but this and RAGE I will only really be able to manage an hour or so at a time due to eye fatigue.
Aside from that it seems like it could actually be quite a good game so far though I'm only about an hour into it.

Do you mean the first sort of boss fight with the guy in that suit? He didn't take much to kill. They went on and on about how hard this game is and I'm quite disappointed.

Oh yeah it's not a hard game, if you're good at FPS on PC then this will be a cakewalk even on hard.

I have no blind hatred towards any game, life's too short
. For the record, I own Battlefield 3 and 4, enjoyed the single player but found the multiplayer very dull. I own and play Black Ops 2 regularly...
I stand by my point however, I believe these franchises have stagnated and so have the many companies trying to emulate their success by copying them. Even iD, with the whole "Call of Doom" thing are guilty of it.
Anyway...back on topic,
it seems the general consensus (from people who own it and are playing it) is that it's fun and a breath of fresh air, i've not seen a negative comment so far, so personally I can't wait to play it.

I can only find positive reviews for the game, but this one is very mediocre.

I feel a little dizzy after short plays and is not FOV as set correctly, you think the locked 60FPS is cause (remember I am not on a LCD so not limited to 60HZ like most)?

I get a little dizzy/eye fatigue feeling from playing this and RAGE I think its a mixture of the hard locked 60fps and the way the texture streaming works with surfaces changing between different texture LODs as you move around.
Enabling vsync helps a bit in one way but just feels slightly laggy and rubber bandy which is slightly nauseating in a different way.

Mixture of both. Iron sights for precision aim (head shots mainly, especially with silenced pistol) otherwise you can hip fire fairly accurately with very small bursts.

What's the overall opinion of the game, worth getting?
