This game reminds me of the first Thief game. There is very little hand holding and you can take several routes to achieve your goal. Throw in some odd abilities like creating a clone of yourself and using it to face hug a guard while you slip past, and you end up with a fun game that feels open and interesting.

I'm about halfway through the game now and have already gone back to try different tactics through a couple of levels. I've seen a few comments on difficult controls, but I disagree. I like the fact that I have to land a jump or grab ledge instead of the game automatically performing the action for me because I held down a couple of buttons. There is no automatic parkour action. Also, your inventory is limited. So you're forced to vary your abilities and hunt for replacement items when you run out.

I like the storyline so far and the voice acting is pretty good. Especially considering the price. If I have one complaint it would be that the cursing in the game seems forced. Almost like they added it just to have it in there. I noticed the same thing in Of Orcs and Men as well.

I definitely recommend getting this if you enjoy older style stealth games. I hope they make another.
