❤ Diverse Playstyle Options

The game combines first-person shooting, stealth, and light puzzle-solving to provide players with a flexible and engaging experience. Players can choose to aggressively eliminate enemies with a wide variety of firearms, each offering primary and secondary fire modes. Alternatively, they can take a more stealthy approach, silently taking down foes, hiding bodies, and using gadgets like grappling hooks and silencers to bypass confrontations. This versatility allows players to tackle scenarios in a way that suits their preferred playstyle.

❤ Impressive Weapon and Gadget Arsenal

One of the gameplay's strengths is its diverse selection of weapons and gadgets. The arsenal includes pistols, shotguns, assault rifles, rocket launchers, and more, each offering unique characteristics and secondary fire modes. Beyond firearms, the game also features a range of tools, such as silencers, medkits, and even a grappling hook, which can aid in both combat and stealth situations.

❤ Tense Stealth Mechanics

The stealth mechanics are a core part of the experience, requiring players to carefully navigate levels, crouch, and silently eliminate or bypass guards. The audio cues, such as the distinct sound of footsteps, create a sense of tension and encourage methodical movement. However, some reviewers noted that the stealth segments can be unforgiving, with a lack of checkpoints leading to frustration when spotted.

❤ Exploration-Driven Level Design

The game's levels are designed to reward exploration, with multiple paths, hidden areas, and collectibles for players to discover. This encourages thorough searching of the environments, which range from military bases to lush tropical settings, keeping the gameplay feeling fresh and engaging throughout the narrative progression.

❤ Inconsistent Enemy AI

The enemy AI exhibits both competent and predictable behaviors. Guards actively search for the player and call for reinforcements when alerted, creating a sense of challenge. However, some reviewers have noted that the AI can be inconsistent, with certain enemies exhibiting more 'dumb' behavior at times.
