I really enjoyed this one. The Commandos games are among my all time favorite, and I love the stealth strategy mechanics. And this one definitely delivered for me. Lovely set of characters, each with its own style and skills. What I really liked is that despite how different they all were, none of them felt overpowerted or underpowered. The balance was perfect, in the entire game I did not encounter any situation that was feeling impossible to solve, regardless of the crew mates I had for the mission. I enjoyed switching the pirates and trying new tactics and approaches. One small negative side is that you repeat a lot of the mission locations/islands. for the most part it's just a different section of the island, so the variety remains, but you go through some of the same areas as well. That being said, with me constantly rotating the crew, I had to use different approaches even if replaying a section that I have already visited, so it was still fun. The overall story was rather simple, but I enjoyed the vibe of the world the developers created. Quite long as well - which can be good or bad, depending on what type of gamer you are. All in all, fun time.
Such a solid game. Unique in its theme and so well executed. The gameplay is fun, with decent battles and some clever (albeit not very difficult) puzzles. The story is told in a very engaging way, with quality voice-acting and beautiful visuals. The voices in the main character's head are one of best game elements I've seen. The only issue I can have with the game is that there was some slow backtracking on few points, but that was just a minor detail and it was used for some story exposure anyways. Kudos to Ninja Theory for the spectacular work.
