It's fun, surprsingly so.
I admit to not expecting much from this game when I started it-- the "rewind time" mechanic was intriguing and I had some spare time. After playing it for the first five levels, I was addicted. The gameplay is a lot of fun. You're an assassin out to kill the king who, in the first scene, decides to pick up a little girl and take her with you. This girl really makes the game-- you need to shepherd her through the levels in addition to piloting the fairly athletic Shadwen with her grappling hook and superhuman agility. In addition to all the challenges one would expect from a stealth game, there's a moderately inept child following you around listening t your directions, and that child responds to -how- you solve the levels, leading to multiple possible conversations during the game and multiple meaningful endings. The difficulty is mostly up to you to decide. There are a few toggles for things like the child's intelligence and enemy line of sight, but mostly you can make the game fun, if straightforward, by killing through the levels or much more complex and challenging by moving through via stealth (there are in-game achievements for both routes). The game is a few years old, and you'll notice that from a few camera angles, but the graphics do what they need to and clearly communicate enemy position, terrain, tools, etc. The music is nothing special. The controls are mostly well put together (though placing traps can get annoying). Bottom line: If you like time manipulation games like Superhot Miami, you'll enjoy this. If you're looking for something new in the stealth genre and want to see how a game can remain appropriately difficult when you can rewind time at will, try Shadwen.
