What players say
Players describe El Hijo as a non-violent stealth game with a charming art style, but many complain about janky controls and frustrating AI. It runs about 4 to 10 hours, with some feeling it is overpriced and repetitive, especially the distraction mechanics. The game is geared toward a younger audience, though its technical problems and occasional unfair detection dampen the experience for adults.
