What players say
Players praise the visuals, art direction, and atmosphere, but the stealth and platforming mechanics are widely criticized as boring or frustrating. The lack of a map and ambiguous objectives lead to frequent aimless wandering and backtracking, while limited save points make repeated sections painful. A sewer chase sequence is a particular pain point.
