Nostalgia goggles off
I envy those who played this back in the day..... but...When will I learn? Reviews that say 'game from my childhood' should not be counted in my personal appraisal of whether I should buy a game (but this is my issue, no one else's, what follows is a guide for those who want to know if they should buy it). This is the first time I played the game, and make no mistake, for its day, it was a very very good game, I can tell even after all these years. The problem is that the PC port is imperfect (camera behaves itself about 70% of the time, so annoying but not a deal-breaker). But the main gameplay loop is basic stealth which gets old, very fast. I got 7 hours in, so I estimate over half way, but then I just saw room after room of frustration (don't get me wrong, the stealth isn't 'bad' but it's simplistic enough that the easy rooms are boring, and the harder ones become frustrating). Technically, took some tinkering to avoid visual glitches or slowdowns and sound eventually kept playing up. Not the fault of the game, but it did impact my experience. I think the story/characters would have been perfect for 12 year old me, they're good, but a little light in writing. Summary: If you don't know/like games of this style from this era, probably don't jump in here. If you do, definitely give it a shot. Worthy of the 'classic' title, if a little dated.
