Transience

I have given this game a shot 3 times now and only managed to play 100min. I have no issues with performance, but there seems to be a glitch where your gun just does not fire and its VERY frustrating. The narrator has an annoying monotone voice, which I think was trying to sound gritty but its just plainly annoying. Good idea for a game, but like others have noticed: the AI is very inconsistent. Either they spot you and you are dead before you can react, or they look at you and not notice you. The good: -Good idea of trying to recreate something like splinter cell. -No crashes during the 100min playtime. The bad: - AI can be more consistent. - Unable to shoot glitch makes me not want to play. - Monotone voice narration.

It's honestly not bad, I don't really care about the story so far or what is happening, But the combat is inoffensive and works fine as an action stealth game. Play on Hard and it only takes a few shots to take you down, A.I. Definitely isn't the greatest, But for $10 you really could do so much worse but also so much better. It's one of those games that won't make you mad that you bought it.

A very hard game its either extreme stealth or dead.

Its not bad but very hard and i get it for a stealth game but when i put easy mode on its still hard

I think it deserves much more credit. The atmosphere is dark and heavy, the protagonist voice reminds me of Max Payne. The mechanics are wonderful, changing gun attachments at any point is excellent. I like the gun play. The game is not easy, you can't stay in front of everyone and shot while being invulnerable, you get a few bullets and die, you have to be careful, infiltrate, stay stealth. I really loves this game, in my opinion is far better than current AAA games in terms of fun, action and gun play. Simple and to the point.

Yo big fry hope you see this because you responded to my performance issue directly around launch. I don’t know what exactly you guys did between when I refunded the game and uninstalled it up to now but it’s way better. Outright smooth I’d say. I was getting high resource pull and also a lot of weird latency’s inside of the game, but that seems to be completely gone. The spots where people were talking about how the starting mission is way too long I have way more context for now as well. Some of the teaching, the basic tutorial stuff seemed a little bit jarring with how it was presented to you in that apartment campaign, mostly down to how much it was kind of spaced out at times. For example, I would be engaging with the stealth mechanics and then randomly find a beginner mechanic learn. I think it’s down the preference a lot of people like a tutorial stuff to be in the beginning of the game and having it repeatedly come up and put some people off, but I really don’t mind that much. However, when it comes to mini games are some issues I think that you might want to be resolved. So like some of the hacking mini games are not too in depth of tutorials and mixed messages, which kind of left me confused. On the hacking game where you use the boxes that you have 4 attempts it didn’t feel that engaging to do. In comparison to all the other hacking games and all the other mechanics it really did slow things down like a lot, and I guess there was a little bit of tension of having to keep the guards off me while I did that but the grid game. But This kind of broke the flow for a little bit. I also really wasn’t expecting that kind of mini game for an activity like that. the rating system is a bit weird. Sometimes it’ll give me a result that I don’t necessarily know what it’s trying to tell me because the parameters of how I’m getting that results aren’t very specified. For example, it’s was rating me for shooting NPC’s and killing them when they spot me. So basically NPC sees me for like a nanosecond right before I killed them. It was my signature and a lot of missions because I was killing multiple targets at the same time. I forget the exact terminology was using on the board, but it was saying that I was reckless and elusive. I’m somewhat confused what that’s trying to tell me how my play style was. I am hoping that it wasn’t related to stashing bodies because I don’t think there’s enough areas to stash bodies for it to count every single kill, especially if you’re like storing bodies out of sight of guards. When it comes to the AI, I’m like 50-50 on it. There are times where the AI will be acting like ready or not AI trying to beam you through a wall like they can see you behind them and then there were also other times where it feels very dynamic and I like that. I will say when it comes to certain levels the AI’s simplicity kind of shows a lot. The club level was a very annoying Level for me because I don’t know what it was, but the AI was just beaming me through walls and there was no solid cover in the entire first section of level. I’m guessing that this is down to a mechanic of suppression mixing with Level design a little bit. As I had seen them act like they were kind of suppressing before but sometimes it just feels like they’re just detecting you through the walls versus trying to point blank you through cover. And I don’t think I necessarily died on the first part of the level like I was getting spawn cancer or anything however, the way the first level was stood up is that the air was so easily able to just mag without me from that starting section that I would lose a lot of my resources and ended up dying later in Level due to the same issue. I also wish that the game had some form of detection on foliage because in that level foliage is the absolute pain. This Paired with the suppression system where I mostly died after getting jumped at the start of the level. it was at the area with the foliage because the AI could perfectly see me through the foliage and also wall banging through cover. I would at least attempt to lessen their accuracy when wall banging, and also when firing from the area that’s hidden by foliage. As it makes the firefights really really awkward. But I’ll say two is that when it comes to voice acting It was definitely very funny to hear you randomly appear every once in a while as an NPC. And also, some of the voice actors are really, really really really good for what you chose. Speaking of the club level from before I’m really happy that they didn’t try to go full John Wick with this or they didn’t try to go mob Boss or whatever.. we’ll try to make a play on a rip off Menendez from Black ops. The way he delivered his line during the third level, and it’s his frantic ranting in the beginning in the hecticness of firefights. It really does set the mood. I also like that since he is more soft spoken, he does portray a Corpo a lot better. He’s not a mercenary. He’s not a mob Boss is a man with influence and power. He becomes a weird philosopher sorts in campaign, and I like that. Stealth is pretty good but some mechanics don’t seem to align right on levels. For example, on certain levels, the snipers are absolutely vigilant and deadly. But on the one warehouse level, I was then later surprised how limited their sight lines were. I thought that snipers will be able to see further and that was a dynamic but weirdly they seem to not be able to spot me for a good distance away. I was rather expose too when looking at these guys and testing out their sight lines. I originally didn’t think that I’d be interested in the sci-fi aesthetic of the game. But actually, I’ve been proven quite wrong. I’m actually rather interested in the Lore you go for it so far. Yeah, but the game’s quite enjoyable. It also seems to have enough wiggle room for me to be able to replay a good bit.

Fun indie game. It's like a first person Splinter Cell. Cool graphics and runs well. Definitely worth it if you enjoy games like this!
