What players say
Coming back from death to spy series, this is a good one as well. Really miss the older stealth genre nowadays. The overall story and gameplay was great.
1 more review, not recommended
It's supposed to be a stealth game, but you can just run up to an enemy facing you and tap the attack button, and it counts as a stealth kill. I got bored and stopped playing once I figured this out, an got to the point where I was just getting close enough that I could sprint up to them and kill them with nearly every enemy
