The community says

It keeps beating BioShock and Dishonored 2 in duels more than I'd expect for a 243rd rank, the ELO gap doesn't really match how often it wins.

    Les temps de chargement entre niveaux cassent un peu le rythme, je m'en souviens bien car j'y jouais sur un vieux PC hérité de mon frère.

    L'IA des gardes réagit vraiment au bruit et à la lumière, ce qui manque encore dans pas mal de jeux d'infiltration récents, et les niveaux non-linéaires laissent le choix de la méthode plutôt que d'imposer un chemin unique, ça mérite mieux que cette place

    Sa place ne me choque pas, mais 243e reste flatteur pour si peu connu du grand public.

    Le score parle, la visibilité au public non.

    Recuerdo jugarlo en el ordenador de mi tío, sin entender bien el idioma, y aun así me quedaba pegado a la pantalla horas y horas, ¿alguien más lo descubrió así, medio de casualidad?

    moi c'était chez un copain, sans capter l'anglais non plus, ça jouait pour toi aussi sur l'ambiance ?
