Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
A simple premise executed well, delivering more than enough motivation to push forward, supporting an even more satisfying gameplay formula that, if not perfected, then is certainly thoroughly improved, offering loads of challenge and fun for both fans of intense, Hotline Miami-like action and methodical, careful and thoughtful stealth, reminiscent of the Splinter Cell formula from its golden era.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Just like previously, all that is delivered in accompaniment of a distinctive darker atmosphere, pleasing old-school visuals, great soundtrack and punchy sound design.
