Good fit for players who want stealth, strong atmosphere, replayability, and controller-friendly play. Stealth is part of the intended rhythm. The mood, place, and presentation carry the experience. The structure gives reasons to return. It uses a hand-drawn look.
Who might skip it
Skip if you want fast, direct combat over stealth. Skip if you do not want a mood-driven experience.
