What players say
No manual saving for making your own checkpoints is unacceptable. Stealth games have Quick Saving since 2001 Splinter Cell ffs. Being at the mercy of autosave arbitrary checkpoints means when i die, and it puts me back some 10 minutes since the last auto checkpoint. Makes me want to drop the game and install a better one immediately. Level Design is quite rough imo, everytime you think of an organic or expected...
Not recommended for newbies and casual players. The save game system is very bad and you have to mostly start from the beginning of level everytime you die.
I really like this game. I bought on sale so i feel like this was an absolute steal! I purchased both games and all DLC and so far this to me is a hidden gem since i've never seen anyone play it before
