How it feels
A tense, methodical stealth game where you skulk through sprawling fantasy environments as a fragile but agile goblin assassin, with a layer of dark comedy and a punishing difficulty that rewards careful planning.

What players say
Players say it is more of the same as the first game but with many bugs that were never fixed. Controls and platforming feel clunky, and inputs can be unresponsive. The co-op mode is a highlight, and stealth fans enjoy the level design and multiple approaches, though the game is abandoned by the developer.
