The visuals of the game world are splendid, and the world that have created is edgy and full of tension. The game play is solid, and I do like the fact that you do not need to rain relentless destruction on an enemy to kill him. Fortunately in many first person games they allow you to be you. I don't understand the details of the overall plot at all though, but then again I seldom do in any game because I do not place much effort in understanding the detailed story until they hit you over the head with it (usually by the halfway point). I am not killing everyone (about 50%), and I make use of the powers quite a bit. Thus far the game has merit, and it bears a remarkable affinity to Bioshock that is most welcome. But really it's just my way of playing games I never want to leave an area until I feel I have seen it all.

Part of it is that the games are too expensive these days and I want to at least feel like I got my monies worth. I explore every inch of every area before I move on, and the thought of trying to hammer out a title as if the world would end if I did not complete it in record time is silly. I take my time with every single game that I play. And there's plenty of that thing in the game. Also upgraded my health, pistol and crossbow ammunition. And I bought the Dark Vision and Agility power after Blink. I got 6 runes in the first level out of 7. They are kinda hard to avoid.Īlso love the option of climbing almost everything.

A few of them killed by my sword/crossbow. Trying to play as much stealthy way to play as possible so far. So far I finished side tasks first and then the main ones. Side tasks are very good and well rewarded. Multiple ways of doing every objective is very cool and the output of every thing I do impact on the game is interesting as well. Gameplay: Gameplay is innovative but still lots of inspiration from few games that I loved. And it fits very well with the game environments. No wonder though as the art director worked in Half Life 2. The art direction and level designing is gorgeous. Its not eye candy but it wasn't necessary. Graphics: Graphics is good enough for me. After starting the game, I played Hide and Seek with Emily. Story: Storyline seems fascinating so far. Only finished the first assassination and just started the 2nd mission. Started the game with hard mode and played it for about 4+ hours or so.
