As for the gameplay, I find it very intuitive and I appreciate the little details to look kind of guardrails to look down, slips, traffic flow in general, etc ... I also enjoyed the fact of playing in the first person, for a stealth game, I find it more relevant than playing in the third person (although I am accustomed to games like Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell or other, I often Handicapping found that playing in the third person in terms of visibility). Incidentally, there is a balance because the climbing phases are, in turn, in the third person, which allows for, in this case, a better vision of the course as a whole. After that, it is true that AI is fairly basic and I'll have to choose the highest level of difficulty.
Turning to history, without making any original elements, I find it rather amusing and once again, the rather dark overall atmosphere is very well done, which brings a great addition to the game.
In short, the game would be able to be developed further in some respects, but in any case he does not deserve the welcome given him. We can all be disappointed by a game as we expected, but then to rage, at the pout, I find it a bit exaggerated. While not perfect nor the culmination of the NextGen (which we are still in the very beginning), I think it's a game that is quite pleasant and from the moment we take pleasure in playing a game, the goal is reached.
After that, it remains a matter of taste, but when you do not like infiltration games, dark and heavy atmosphere, it does not have to buy this kind of games, especially as it is now can see what looks like a game via the many gameplay that are broadcast on YouTube on the day of release, if it is found that the graphics are not up to par, or that the story is not attractive, the game too repeating to her taste, we do not buy, that's all. For my part, I never buy a game without seeing some gameplay clips without spoiler, watching a few seconds of gameplay at different stages of the game, we know what to expect.
And to summarize:
- What I liked: the gameplay, dark and heavy atmosphere, the act of searching for objects in every corner (in short, to steal without getting caught!), The story that brings even more mystery the atmosphere
- What I liked least: the weakness of the AI poorly exploited despite some interesting elements, elements shaped bit and / or low-detail textures (but it's still small, all in all, it's all perfectly adequate)
