Starts out promising, then recycles areas and glitches out with an escort mission due to an npc that can't follow. The stealth mechanics are borked, the enemies are blind, but you must sneak behind them very slowly. Headshots register sometimes and sometimes they don't and the game eventually tries to nudge you playing it more like an action game. You make your noisemakers and non-lethal weapons by combining tin cans and batteries, a shallow mechanic that barely adds anything to the game. The only things going for this is the x-ray gadget and a predictable story. Not a single feature holds up well and it's ridden with gamebreaking bugs, a hard pass.
