Ultimate Stealth Triple Pack - Thief, Hitman: Absolution, Deus Ex: Human Revolution

While the PlayStation 4 is in the market for over a year, the PlayStation 3 is far from laid to rest. Almost all the games that appear on the 4, are also available for the previous generation of consoles on the market. Well Square Enix has the Ultimate Stealth Triple Pack - Thief, Hitman: put 360 on the market Human Revolution for PlayStation 3 and Xbox: Absolution, Deus Ex. The player gets here three first-class games on offer that should be in every collection and for under 40 euros!

Let's first take a look at "Thief", starting with the history of the game. The player gets here offered no new masterpiece, but just a solid framework for action. It assumes the role of Garrett, the great master thief again. He has again a major foray in front of him, but of going wrong. Shortly after, Garrett notes that he was missing and has been for 12 months. What happened? Why can not he remember? Now it is time again to solve a number of puzzles to sneak through levels and can not be caught in God's name. Where noted, the player can move no matter how cleverly and skillfully, eventually an alarm is triggered anyway and thus staged an escape.

Of course, it's fun again carefully to explore the local area and watch while no guards to attract. Partially broken glass lying on the floor, which should be as far as possible avoided. Cabinets, niches and other objects are excellent hideaways, this task is to locate switch behind pictures and other objects. All this makes good reading, right? But there are things that do not really like. So the player has to use the possibility of rope arrows among others. However, the arrows can attach only at obvious places, so that the player does not have to try around large. Also can be seen, where there is to get something. You can quickly see where you can climb up. And when it shines silvery or golden, then there are switches to find or make prey. What is a number of players do not like is that there are moments when it just does not fit. Garrett jumps alone on small depths, but can not move freely in the game really. The levels seem like a hose, so that it seems as if one can simply execute a task after another. It simply lacks the charm of the previous games in the series.

That is not to say that you can not enjoy yourself with Thief. When the player stands on an elevated point and lets his gaze, can be seen a beautiful setting. This has been lovingly decorated and equipped with many details. The faces of the characters could have been designed better and also every now and then reload the textures, is a small flaw. The control is simple, even beginners of the genre will get along here without any problems. A keystroke and Garrett jumps independently on the broadest chasms, he sprints loosely through the forest and climbs loose everywhere high. The mini-games are usually easy to solve, so that one does not come to a halt while playing. There are also a very good soundtrack, great effects and a successful synchronization. Here you can not complain really.

It continues with Hitman Absolution. He has grown older. Wrinkles around the eyes are distinguished from, yet his gaze is sharp, his movements are fluid. We're talking about number 47, which has left six-year period before he can now be seen again in Hitman Absolutions. At the beginning of the game there as usual to cope with a tutorial. Here, the player learns how best moves without getting caught by the level. After all, who tramples through the levels like an elephant, will not survive long. Who is wise, sneaking from cover to cover and also takes time in a dumpster place for the patrolling guards did not see one. It is also important that you beseitig his victims. For this one can take the bodies and drag in a dark corner. Not doing this, the bodies will be discovered quickly and the guards are more attentive than usual. Maybe you have a situation in which a guard did not want to budge. They should, however, because this is when the player has to go long. So you take a stone or similar object and throws it in the other direction. Once it rattles, the guard goes look and the way is clear for the agent 47.

Of course, there are different ways to disable a guard. Time you can turn off the enemy targeted with a headshot, then again it is a petrol barrel to meet or even to steal an object in order to get the security guards in the hair and kill each other. The missions have been designed differently, so it is boring at any time. Time you have to sneak through a garden, then move unobtrusively into crowds or penetrate into a research station. There are also many different places, so there is always something new to discover. There are plenty of black humor, which is very good in this game advantage. For each opponent, who is turned off by Agent 47 and for each task successfully completed, the player gets credited instinct. So you can slow down time and also get interesting information, for example, the path of the guards will be displayed. Is stored at the checkpoints, but this does not work automatically. Here you should good seeing to it that you always use this.

Let's take another look at the technical side of the game. The graphics are just great, the cut scenes are more than successful. There are also very good speaker and a successful camera work, so you really can not complain here. The music fits the game, made great!

The third game is Deus Ex. The player assumes the role of Adam here, which was changed cybernetically against his will. Former SWAT specialist should guarantee the safety of biotech sub Nehmenes and safeguard company secrets. So when a scientist is killed by a black ops team, Adam was severely injured. Now he is on the hunt for the backers of the attack and he will find the story in the game starts some 50 years ago the first part, in the year 2027. In a world where you can replace each limb with an artificial prosthesis, lives our Protagonist. He, too, is how other people marginalized by prostheses, precisely because he is not a real person more. If he did not wanted to find the assassins, he would have put an end to his life. But so drives him ahead of hatred. He wants to find the man who banished him to this life.

Early in the game you have to rescue some hostages. Easier said than done, because in order to reach the hostages, the player must traverse a large hall. Can we still stride the first guards, the other enemies can not so easily fooled. So you look for a way to get to the other side of the hall. The ventilation shaft under the stairs works well for straight. Luckily, there are no branches in the shaft, the player only has to lift Ventilation and ladders ascend. When you reach the top of the hall, Adam is for the opponents, although not visible, but the better audible. Therefore Adam creeps over the bar and tried to not make a sound. Continue through another ventilation shaft, which ends in the room with the hostages. Here is also to see why the room is better not to enter through the door because it depends a pretty bomb. After Adam has disabled this, the hostages are rescued and the search for the prototype continues

The third part of the series is a pure action game, where the player can now decide for themselves how to proceed. Smite the enemy only at the floor or bring you to this? Helps you can give a person and hopes the tips or bring that person Adam into trouble later? No matter how one decides it is always followed by a consequence. In Deus Ex 3 Human Revolution, the player can decide whether to go ahead at gunpoint Distrust will secretly sneak around corners. Of course, also a mixture of both is possible. But be careful though many hiding places are present, it is not always easy to hide from the guards. Because once they are come to Adams track, leave as soon no longer on it. For each job completed there as usual experience points that can be exchanged then the merchants against goodies.

So nice to Deus Ex 3 - Human Revolution also plays a small fly in the ointment is present: The skirmishes. Popped one into the first two parts of the bullets and explosions just so around the ears, so it's a little more civilized for the third part. While it is well shot, but the right bang missing. And the guards who planned their laps are partially easy to dupe when lining up sent. But this should not stop you to look at the third part of the series more accurate the player. Because fun as playing on any case!

Even if Adam gets an order to the other, he has meanwhile still time to look around a bit and to move freely. And to discover there is an awful lot! Alone the diverse and varied environment is more than able to even the conversations of the people and the news comes in the form of for example, books and newspapers. The characters act against a little stiff, but very many lovingly designed details in the area to see.

On the whole, the players get to the Ultimate Stealth Triple Pack - Thief, Hitman: Absolution, Deus Ex: Human Revolution made by Square Enix three successful games on offer, you can gamble again. Who those not yet called his own, can not go wrong with the box. We have games like once again placed in the console and let us be captivated by its charm.
