Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
54 of 205 sampled reviews raised it
Instincts Mode *groan* is necessary for gameplay as it not only highlights enemies; it highlights areas on the ground you can blend in with, because you can’t just sit in any old chair or guard any wall, only very specific ones.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
31 of 205 sampled reviews raised it
It's a step down from Death to Spies 2, but it's still a very solid (if buggy and low budget, especially in the narrative-basis sound and cutscene department) stealth game in the vein of Hitman.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
9 of 205 sampled reviews raised it
Range of difficulty modes to suit everyone, along with the ability the save anywhere.
