“Don't buy this for the gameplay. Buy it for the humour, the beautiful environments, and the great soundtrack. I had 4 absolutely hilarious hours with it. The ending didn't bother me, I felt it fits the story. Gameplay is light platforming, light stealth, light quick time events…”

“it was fun, pretty easy and simple game to follow. if you are looking for any kind of challenge then this is not the game for you. fun story though just make sure you turn on subtitles if you don't understand Russian accents.”
