Judgement: Not Recommended

View review on Steam

Trully uninspired stealth game.

All things from gameplay basics, AI, story, your equipment to badly made levels seems unfinished or unpolished at least.
Quite a lot of stupid things like barrels on single wooden log below rooftop... Who put them there? And why? I kind of doubt that people in that country put heavy things on high places for random assasin to have fun with her grapling hook.

And condition you must met to alert guards? That's just silly - they have to either see you or hear you. So when I killed guy in the middle of a chitchat - guy that was standing 2 feets away haven't noticed a thing.

Hiding bodies in the bushes. Best idea ever. You can hide 10 bodies in one plant with a pot. Also there are stacks of hay and bushes inside castle. Nobody see dead bodies - even if one small plant suddenly has couple new hands with crosbows.

AI of your companion is terrible. It works fine only when you choose her to not fallow you - kill everybody on map - and then choose her to follow you again. In other scenarios she may ignore best route or go in wrong direction, even if road ahead is clear.

Story pretty much does not exist. We learn something while listening to gossiping guards but these are mostly useless gossips. And we know nothing about main character.

I did my first run aiming for clean run - without killing any guards... And that was embarrassingly easy. Second run - as serial killer was a little bit harder. But still - quite easy. There is no way to adjust dificulty - in menu under dificulty you have settings for turning on/off visibility of guards field of view and whether you like or not that little girl to follow you.

You can loot chests for materials and schematics for extra gear. But all of that stuff is pretty much useless. You need to place all items on ground/wall to make them work as traps - and then lure guards to them. Using enviroment + your knife is much more efficient and fun :) You cannot throw things - even decoy must be placed on the ground and then pushed xD

What would be my final rating? Meh. Sadly steam allows only for positive or negative score.
Had some fun for sure. But if you are looking for good stealth game I would suggest to look elswhere.
And if you already played all other stealth games - buy it with heavy discount.
