As stealth games go this one is more of a puzzle game, using range, skill, visibility and -last but not least- timing. Though some emergent gameplay is present, most situations seem to have a single solution. Some flexibility arrises when multiple guards are involved, and there are quite a few of those situations, but some locations have one single correct solution. The challenges are satisfying, not extremely difficult. Combined with the lush visuals, intricate world building, well written story and good voice acting, it all leads to a wonderful, fun experience. Loved eavesdropping on the guards and other NPCs, also the different behavior of the guards was a joy to discover. Hoping for a sequel..
Beautiful and moody, touching on dark themes here and there, The Drifter weaves its protagonist's odd new-found power quickly into fun yet complex puzzles. Thoroughly enjoyable!
