This game is fantastic. The gameplay is well made and strangely unique for a stealth game. Like a true ninja, it forces you to commonly rely on your tools. With a good selection of very useful materials at your disposal you can craft your own path to sneak through these decently designed levels. What makes the game more unique in my opinion is it's aspect to drive you away from combat. The game very rarely puts you into a position where combat is the only way out, in fact combat can be very punishing. It is almost impossible to hold your own in a fight, especially when not one to one. And even stealth skills can be hard to pull off and present many different ways in which it can come up to bite you in the ass. Of course killing isn't off the table, but it forces you to find ways to work around the enemies rather then just pushing through them. Elevating its stealth mechanics a lot more then most games.
