A surprisingly great mashup of Hitman and MGS. Buggy, sure, a little janky, but it's part of the charm. You can't take cover or have your health regenerate or roll from one chest-high wall to the next with a press of a button. Hardcore stealth and espionage. Very grounded, very difficult. Looks rough but considering the genre and fact that this was made in 2007 in Russia by a relatively small team, it's very impressive.

Getting the highest rating will require you to abuse the AI a little, but a more casual playthrough provides a relatively believable spy experience.

All fans of the classic Hitman games should at least try this one out. Available on GOG.
