Played Shadow Tactics for a Discord's quarterly game; not my usual genre, so this was challenging for me. After the third mission, I even had to switch to easy mode. (That felt like it did little, especially later on.) I did enjoy the game. The story and characters were alright; mostly, I liked the art style.

I did not enjoy constantly spinning my camera around to view enemies and use objects like doors. At times, hiding bodies and interacting with doors needed to be pixel perfect. If you didn't click just right, you'll be spotted. Even while using the eyesight that highlights hidden areas.

There are two missions in particular that force you to be VERY rigid with a certain character. You have to go in one path. Unlike the rest of the game, it's pretty open to how you want to play. But these two instances really soured my mood because it made it unbelievably difficult. Probably not a big deal if you better at these types of games; I'm sure you're better than me. But damn, those were unfun and frustrating.

Really my only complaints. Just be better than me at the game and you'll most likely enjoy it even more.
