This reminds me of the Thief games, which I love. Only you play a goblin and it's third person. It's great fun creeping around castles and finding secret passages. The environments are well done and I'm surprised this game hasn't received more attention. Maybe because it's a bit too difficult.

I know this is a stealth game however the game forces you into a combat situation as a tutorial. Its impossible. You cannot dodge and then attack. Mechanics are abysmal. I’m thankful this was a PS plus game. I wouldn’t waste any money on this. Avoid.

It could be a good game. But terrible AI and bad gameplay make it worse. Nice story btw.
