Skin Deep

A refreshing stealth/immersive sim that swaps out the grit and noir for slapstick and cats. It's not afraid to be silly and it's happy to make the player feel a bit overpowered. Nina is still very fragile though, so brute forcing combat won't go your way. Throw a banana peel instead. Explode the windows. Dive into a trash chute. My main concern is that it doesn't get complex enough, especially since most of the levels are quite small. I'm surprised that there's no achievements for doing levels in pacifist style, or other challenge runs. Still, it really is charming and a welcome addition to the stealth/immersive sim genres.

Purrrfect game!

This game is super neat! Little bite-sized immersive sim levels, tho they get longer as you progress. When I got this I thought it was one big long game but its actually separate levels, but it's really pretty cool

This game is fantastic and hilarious. You basically get a bunch of self-contained mini immersive sim levels with a bunch of humor thrown in. Really worth your time and money.

Excelente juego, sigilo muy bien logrado, niveles densos en caminos y opciones para atravesarlos.

So ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fun! Been looking for something to scratch that immersive sim itch that I've had ever since playing the Deus Ex franchise. Now this game doesn't come anywhere close to being as great as those games, but it does satisfy that itch. Pros: The story follows Nina a former galactic assassin turned insurance commando. She's also accompanied by talking cats through most of the story. Cats have for some reason evolved and are now able to function in society like human beings. At the start of every mission you wake up from a cryo-chamber and your mission is to rescue cats and kill space pirates that have infiltrated the ship that you are to protect. It's a simple concept that works great for a game like this. Outside of this Nina also has a personal conflict, with her being hunted down by a rival pirate leader. I loved this story and just the entire world of this game. I am a bit biased though since I love cats and sci-fi. The gameplay is buttery smooth. Fast, satisfying, fun, engaging, It's perfect for a game like this. I was so hooked by the gameplay that I actually finished this the same day that I started it. Never got sick of this formula and saving all of these different cats was always fun. I also like the art direction with it being a mix of cartoonish square cats and just regular 3d characters. I also just adored the interior of the spaceships. So fun to explore and just analyse once you've finished of all of the enemies. Cons: I really don't see any major flaws with this game. My only issue is just that I want more. These developers are so talented and deserve so much more love. I just hope that they can capture something as great as this with their next game. Overall: Endlessly replayable. I had a fantastic time with this. Now I need to find something else to scratch the itch I have after playing this.
