Good idea, bad implementation. Transitions from between real-time and turn-based sometimes are... surprising (not in a good way). Using hook - hard, use the force, Luke. Jump targeting is not that easy too: using vertical mouse movement while targeting horizontally... well, it's definitely innovative plus you unable to target where your cursor located. Checkpoints they are silent and surprising too (at last level especially). Necessity to use both keyboard and mouse during combat in way precise but obscure don't add a joy. I've managed to collect all skill scores and sometimes you need not to rush into battle, some times you need to find the right spot. After game I've got that filling that there is indeed only one right path to play each level. But I don't regret money spent. At least three days to fill.

One of my favorite games, gets hard towards the end. I see a few reviews talking about bugs and it just plain not working but from my playthrough I saw nothing of the sort. Highly recommend.

Having owned the Steam version, with most bugs patched out from what I've heard, the core game on default is perfect. Took me roughly 7.0 hours to complete New Game, according to Steam. You slowly get used to your constantly expanding arsenal of skills until (hopefully) you can manage to swing through a complex building full of enemies, killing the boss on your way out. By the time I started NG+, I was much more fluid than I'd previously thought possible. However, that seemed to be as far as the developer's effort to make his game both playable and fun went. Come NG+, levels are more or less exactly the same, with 2 differences; they're now oversaturated with riflemen, and all riflemen now actually move their aims further in your direction while firing. Any one of these changes on its own would be manageable, but together, this forces the player to, at best, rely way too much on RNG/luck to avoid gunfire. It's clear that the dev didn't playtest NG+, but rather just patted himself on the back for adding anything at all beyond NG, and called it a day. I can only recommend buying this if you don't mind a game where its bulk lasts 5 hours, or (in the case of NG+) if you're a masochist who knows full well that you may never finish a game you started, knowing what you were getting into.

Simple, yet engaging. Awesome soundtrack.

Decided to replay this game after 4 years, and it feels worse than the first time. No story (or so breif it's pointless) Bugs / glitching through walls Hardcore Difficulty spike A number of 'optional objectives' includes 'don't harm civilians' even when there aren't any on the level (And in NG+ they aren't optional but still say they are). And if you don't get a perfect score no skill point for you The menu is finicky and you have to fight with it a bit No real tutorial, neither on the best way to do a slowdown so you can try to maximize kills before getting spotted, nor on how the powers work. Newgame Plus ramps up the difficulty by adding or replacing enemies that are annoying to deal with, and some enemies behave differently so previously made techniques are useless In a nutshell it needs a bit more polish, a little more work. But if you can muster your way through it, get it on sale, preferably under $5 and play it.
