[h1] Game about rats [/h1]
A fairly easy game overall, as long as you are patient because there is no difficulty settings.
[h2] Story & Characters [/h2]
The story has a really weak start, but the middle of the game gets much better and the ending is excellent. The main characters receive a lot of growth throughout the game and you can really see how much they have changed by the end. Although I kinda dislike how it goes because revenge becomes the main part of the narrative. It makes sense within the context of the story, but it isn't exactly an original way.
But I do wish the side characters received more development. Some of them feel like they could have been explored much further.
[h2] Stealth & Combat [/h2]
The stealth is straightforward and the levels are mostly have the same feel. The game gradually evolves from being primarily a stealth experience into more of a kill everyone approach. You get more interesting ways to plan your route but by the end your mostly encouraged to use 2-3 abilities to reach the end as killing has no consequences.
[h2] Looting & Crafting [/h2]
Looting is straightforward and encourages you to explore the levels for materials, especially if you want to upgrade your equipment or how you play the game. You will constantly find things like alcohol, sulfur, fabric, leather and other ingredients that can be used for ammunition, alchemical tools and upgrades. But it feels useless once you upgrade the sling for killing while other QOL or stealth upgrades feel not worth it anymore.
[h2] Levels & Exploration [/h2]
Most levels are fairly straightforward and usually have you moving almost in a straight line toward your destination. There are occasional alternative routes where you can find hidden items, crafting materials, or additional lore. The game does that boring job of showing you what can be climbed by using white paint on the environment.
[h2] Bugs & Issues [/h2]
The game is generally fine technically, but there are some annoying issues like the AI can occasionally bug out, and animation errors can sometimes cause softlocks. Some puzzles are locked behind V-sync
There is also no proper ultrawide support, and the game isn't particularly well optimized, so you may need to play around with the graphics settings if you want the best possible image quality.
[h2] Final Verdict [/h2]
Starts off fairly weak but gets better as it progresses. The gameplay is simple and the levels are linear, but the atmosphere, character development could have improvements.
[b] 7/10 [/b]
