That's where I personally bought it, I got my key slightly before release and the key worked. Hasn't been revoked yet, and they have yet to revoke any key I bought from them.
I would recommend them if they're the best price you found.

Anyone have an issue with NPC faces during dialogue where when they move they become fuzzy?

So metacritic user reviews seem to have panned this game but they mostly seem to be related to performance. I'm sure that will be fixed in time, but is the actual game good?

Don't get the complaining about performance, running the game with a gforce gtx 660ti without problems.
Just don't max out everything. Graphics are not the best though.

Yep, I got the exact same deal. That's the only keysite I use. Never had any bad experience with them or keys revoked.

I just finished this game.
It was better than DXHR in all aspects, except story and themes. Gameplay was really good, the best stealth game ever made for me. Very many options, very many approaches. Level design was miles ahead of DXHR as well, and the aesthetics of the world are truly an achievement. No city had such a feel to it before in a game.
But this just pisses me off even more, because the story and themes were shallow shit about racism, but on a level you would talk to a 2 year old. In the likes of: have any (even legitimate) problem with augs? Then you are a fascist extremist Hitler. Want all people of the world to hold hands and sing and dance together? Then you are a Good Guy. No nuance at all. No dilemma presented. Very simplistic and agenda-driven.
DXHR had much better questions to ask about augmentation. This just falls so very short of the promise of that game. Pisses me off.
The conspiracy side of things was nice, and exploration really added to the lore, that was very well done.
For me it was an 8/10 game that could have been 10/10. If only they didn't treat me like a child, and didn't try to lecture me about racism=bad, mkay? around every corner.
Finishing the game took 50 hours for me. I searched everything, and even like so ended up missing some Breach soft and triangles, so I have not completed everything. Due to a choice I made in game I triggered a story mandated alarm. Otherwise I wasn't spotted even once and never raised an alarm. Killed the boss once, and spared him once (granting pacifist).

Finished it.
Took me about 40 hours. Great game but way too easy. Overabundance of everything, from ammo , biocells to credits.
Ending seems rushed, felt like there should have been a lot more of main mission content. A lot of the 40 hours was spent faffing about, exploring and trying to murder everyone in prague and then reloading.
Almost forgot, the devs should be flogged for putting that last scene mid credits. I almost fucking missed it.

Finished too. In the end I actually kinda liked the story - it was weaker than HR, but good enough. Not everything has to be grand in scale and this actually had pretty overarching consequences - it just wasn't as directly epic. Also, I found the ending to be... less irritating and weak than many people seemed to suggest. It was solid enough. *ending spoiler*
 Spoiler: | I knew there was something wrong with the fucking psychiatrist  |
I still have reservations about the world and the way themes are presented and I definitely liked the atmosphere of the previous game more. But all in all, it was a great ride.

The Devs posted on Reddit it should release tomorrow. I had been replaying Human Revolution Director's Cut and just finished it again earlier to have that game fresh in my memory before starting this so it seems like good timing. Now I need to go read up on that Pre-Order bonus mess to figure out what not to collect for my first play through.

got the game from kwik-e-mart since the price is extremely right. If someone wants to play via family share on my account, let me know.

This game is getting on my nervs, it's not enough that the story it's so uninteresting that it made me stop playing the game for a few days, but no in Mission 13 an alarm is randomly triggered at the end of the mission and it's ruining my stealth run and achievement.

Just soldier through it mate. Same happened to me. It pissed me off. But I lived with the decision, because that is who I would have called, if it was really happening. If you call the other person at the beginning of the map, then no alarm is triggered.
Just live with it mate. You don't need an achievement to tell you you played stealthily.

I reckon if you inform TF29 the mole gets the alarm activated.

That is how I felt at first, when I tripped it. But then, I thought back and ... all the information was there in front of me. We all knew about the mole, yet if we chose to still talk to HQ first, then those are the consequences.
I came around to liking this choice. A lot. Way more believable this way.

It's ok that the alarm is triggered based on a choice, it's not ok if this alarm counts for the achievement.

Just finished it after around 80 hours, 10 hours more than my first playthrough of HR (director's cut took me 40 hours), which makes sense for me as this game seemed to have an even bigger explorable area than the first one (and much more detailed and interactive areas on top of that).
Gameplay was fantastic, as expected, very rarely we get this kind of good old school experience in modern games (sadly). I took a full stealth/pacifist approach and got the supposedly best ending, but many times I just goofed around testing different things, paths, augs, etc, then reloaded when I was ready to do it completely stealthy. Story wise I wasn't as pissed off as many people here seemed to be. Like I had previously mentioned, for me it made complete sense that the story in this one would be about discrimination against augmented people, though I agree that at particular times it was a bit overdone. All in all I was satisfied, but I hope quite a few questions are to be answered in the next episode.
Particularly, about that mid-credits scene, the Illuminati seemed to be...
| Spoiler: |
... misinformed about Adam, Morgan Everett couldn't even remember his name.
|
which confuses me quite a bit as I thought it was them who were behind...
| Spoiler: |
Adam's new modifications after Panchaea.
|
So I guess I'm supposed to assume that the person behind all that stuff is exclusively Bob Page, acting behind his mentor's and Illuminati colleagues' back? One of the many answers I expect we get in the next game.
EDIT: Nevermind, rewatched the mid-credits scene
| Spoiler: |
it's probably that old man DeBeers who leads the Illuminati in 2029 the one behind Jensen's modifications.
|
Anyways, this might well be my game of the year, but not completely sure yet. Dark Souls 3 was a formidable experience this year and there's still Dishonored 2 left, so I guess it's gonna be the battle of the "D"'s in my book soon 
I have to admit the game deserves to be punished because of the precarious technical state in which it was released. So I won't mind if it gets completely disregarded by gaming sites at the end of the year, which was going to be the case (in favor of Tomb Raider probably, or the likes) anyway

I benchmarked the game a few times (pre-patch with old amd drivers, pre-patch with new amd drivers, post-patch in DX11) and they all gave me similar results:
Average FPS: 52, minimum 40, max 72. They genuinely all hung around that mark, with very small variations (such as average going from 51.5 to 52.4).
With DX12 mode activate and new AMD drivers, there was a small increase in the benchmark. It was now:
Average: 56, minimum 42, max 73.
So, it's about a 8% increase for free. Not bad. It's possible that some graphical effects benefit more from DX12 and that I didn't test them, I won't go that far and test all of them.
Setup:
Windows 10
i5 4690k @ 4.5ghz
Radeon 390 with newest drivers
16gb ram
Installed on SSD.

The announcement post was updated so if DX12 support is grayed out you have to opt-into the D3D12 preview branch of the game, same build version (minus the P5 thing.) so it should have the same fixes and only the game exe differed.
