If you play this, you have to realize this game has a different orientation than many other hide-in-the-dark games. You're a thief, not an assassin. Your goal is not the same as an assassin, and neither is your loadout or your training. You're versatile and quick, but you do not have a sword, you have a blackjack. Key to playing the game right, is to understand that you're not here to kill guards and night shifts, you're there to steal.

You have a bow, which supports broadheads, so you can take out targets, and the game recognizes you as a predator if you chose to kill or takeout a lot of the henchmen. Once again, it's not really the objective of the game, but for me, it just happens, I get into a fight and see fit to slap the ♥♥♥♥ out of a guard with a blackjack. You will knock them out, but not kill them.

Should you buy this game? Maybe.

The action is a bit slow, but that's not as critical when you realize that most of the thrill is of being uncaught. Seriously. Like I wrote above, this game is about stealth. I felt combat was a bit slow and clumsy, although very challenging.

Anyway, this game is very story-driven. Trust me - If you want to play this game right, play it patiently, play on hardest difficulty, and play stealthy.

I've played a few hours and haven't really picked it up since I bought it, but I love the game and will find the time to play it. I'll do a restart anyway, because Normal difficulty is just too easy.
