Steam review snapshots
I kind of just want a free roam option so I can just chill and explore the world with nothing to do…It was challenging at times but totally fair and it made the combat and the game even more immersive.It plays like Punch-Out with stealth and RPG elements.I play the entire game, in two settings, on the steam deck.Why it fits
