Pretty fun. Orc characters surprisingly charming. The combat flows pretty well, but feels simplistic. It becomes pretty repetitive. The errands feel random (x of y plant), whatever. Nemesis system seems complex and rewarding, but it’s hard to tell what’s going on. World is small (though apparently there’s another map) and pretty drab. Climbing is fun. Between missions it’s unclear what I’m supposed to be doing. Like I said, stealth feels pretty good. I’d rather be playing Dishonored.

Did not roll credits.
