By the end of El Hijo, my enjoyment of its level design and creativity had won out over my disappointment in its Switch performance and loading times. The mechanics here will be familiar to those who've played Desperados III or Mark of the Ninja, but El Hijo distinguishes itself with the way it has players using the environment to avoid detection. Each level seems to introduce some new idea and mechanic, and none of them outstay their welcome.
