I keep coming back to this one for reasons I can never fully explain, maybe it's the way every level feels like a puzzle box, maybe it's just that I love…

    I keep coming back to this one for reasons I can never fully explain, maybe it's the way every level feels like a puzzle box, maybe it's just that I love sneaking past guards without anyone noticing, either way it deserves way more respect than 151st.

    Yo lo jugué en un verano parecido, turnos nocturnos y todo, y esas partidas cortas se me quedaron grabadas más que cualquier otro juego de esa época

    pourquoi personne parle jamais du level design quand on discute de sa place au classement

    André_20

    Moi c'est un ami qui m'a prêté sa manette un dimanche entier, et j'ai fini par rater le repas de famille à cause de lui.

    Replying to lacombe_pierre

    Le level design, on n'en parle jamais parce que le classement tourne surtout autour des votes rapides, pas des détails.

    QuestOwl2008

    Ahead of its time how exactly?

    Ibáñez5

    Totalmente de acuerdo, cada nivel es un puzzle y eso solo ya vale el puesto.

  2. NeonDragon

    The way it lets you approach every mission differently still feels ahead of its time honestly.

    harber_cordia

    I never got tired of picking a different route each mission, that part alone kept me coming back.

    Carpentier2010

    Face à ce que propose Portal 2 en matière de puzzles purs, ici l'improvisation prend toute la place et ça n'a jamais la même rigueur.

    CoopRider2008

    Ah non, en fait il a toujours été en avance sur son époque, désolé pas désolé !

  3. Peltier8

    Bonne ambiance visuelle. Le scénario s'essouffle après les premières missions.

    BossPilot2

    Comparado con BioShock este envejece mejor la jugabilidad, aunque la historia se olvide igual de rápido

    LuckyMaster

    La ambientación me atrapó desde el principio, recuerdo pasarme una noche entera sin darme cuenta del tiempo

    ThéophileSamurai

    Oubliable après les premières missions, vraiment, ou juste après la première fois qu'on y joue ?

  4. ComboWarden

    Il mérite clairement mieu que sa place actuelle, franchement.

    yleannon

    The powers are genuinely creative and let you improvise, but the story never really keeps up with that same creativity.

  5. Cosmo_Lopez

    Bon jeu, mais oublié trop vite dès la manette posée.
