Yes, it is pretty much from point A to B with the occasional side objective, but the levels are designed in such way that not everybody will be taking the same routes. Also, killing is (usually) not a necessity, but I love sneaky stabby action too much to stop. ;) As mentioned, there's a lot of verticality in this game, so there are plenty of sections where one can clamber around walls and struts and pass over guards' heads, or one can use vents, ducts, and conveniently placed furniture and other assorted objects to hide behind to wait for a patrol to pass so one can sneak by them.

Ah right I see, almost sounds a little bit like Splinter Cell's design philosophy then. Nothing wrong with that :)

I love it when games get a proper sense of vertical height right, especially when you feel "oh boy this is really high!". This is something that the Prince of Persia series, at least up to Two Thrones, nails perfectly.

The "newer" version is 10 years old by now. It's pretty and has good controls, but it's very repetitive up to the point of tiring and the A.I. likes to cheat, a lot.

Vivaldi has invisible hands…

I hate spiders...

When I played Witcher 3 I thought that Vivaldi looked suspiciously like this guy...

More like detached. o.0

But it just wants to give you a bear hug! ;)

BTW what game is that? Does anyone know? Is that Grimrock(haven't played it yet, sadly)?

Why can't I find women giving a bear hug but only spiders and other monsters?

Yes it is. The legend of Grimrock. It works great even on Linux Mint 19 Tricia.

After searching on a forum I believe, that it is a common bug caused by installing only some DLCs and latest patch... either way I contacted support, so hope, that they will correct it once for all.

Band of Brothers: Unlicensed Edition... aka Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30

It's time to kick some Nazi ass! Sadly, there are no bear Jews. ;)

Since GOG mentioned these games again, I figure it's high time that I actually play them. They've only been sitting in my backlog since they were first released here.

Giant arachnids need love too. Maybe you're the monster! =P

Looks nice....reminds me of Stonekeep in looks/etc.

======================================

Jesus, you're right. Damn time flies by. I can barely remember how the old one actually was. I remember nothing but greatness from that game, but that's how it is when you don your rose-tinted glasses, I suppose :)

Ok, Here we go
