I gave up on this game. Has a B game quality to it. Jumping doesn't feel right, there's a lack of momentum and weight to it. Voices overlap each other and breaks the immersion. The medal system is a good idea in theory but is distracting and gives the idea that there's a "right way to play" the game. Also difficulty curve is too steep, alert one guard and it's like the whole village goes after you.
Not a horrible game if you give it enough patience, but I would rather play more Hitman than this.
