The Swindle

Just minute ago, I was able to win this game on my switch for the first time ever since I bought this game about ten years ago. Finally, I can uninstall this bloody game and leave this all behind. This game is by far one of the most frustrating games I've ever played. The controls are really finiky for a game that focuses so heavily on stealth. I can't count how many times seemingly a small move on my part turned into a frantic button mashing mess that resulted in death. Also, sometimes out of nowhere, enemies have seen/killed me through walls! The game does grip you a lot. It has some nail-biting tension and the feeling you get from a successful run is great. However, the bad outweigh the good for me. Adios The Swindle, not gonna miss you <3

Great game kept me entertained for ages. hard to beat too.

Great concept, worst contols Ive ever had the displeasure of knowing. Why cant I jump half of the time, why do I magnatize to walls, and why is is baked in that when you want to stay still on a wall you have to press the opposite direction to the wall. For a game that is completly unforgivintg in its stealth mechanics, the controls needs to make you feel like your in control, but half of the time I feel like im piloting an alcoholic. After attempting to 100% this game and never touch it again my opinion of it has gotten worse. The achievement for completing the whole game as your starting character, meaning never dying the entire game, is ridicoulous. I have done well over 100 attempts and by percentage the ammount of times I die from poor controls and what i would call bs is around 75%. Melee hit reg is broken up close, you can stand in an enemy and not hit them, sometimes when jumping on a wall you cratar to the ground unless you return to the wall you just jumped from, unable to ju...

Th is game is not without issue, but its is really satisfying to actually pull of a successful heist and finish the game. Late game definitely needs planning, especially the final heist. This game is brutally hard and one mistake spells the end of the run. The game also has a fail state for play through. Do terrible and you'll need to start from the beginning and work your way up again. As result Each death is felt and can feel devastating especially if you're carrying a lot of money. At time I was playing most bugs were ironed out, but you can still experience absolute BS death at times. There is a fair amount of learning curve.
