Just looks like isometric a plagues tale to me. Which I haven't played yet.

Yeah not sure on this one. There's a surprising amount of games now in the isometric stealth genre. This one's hook seems to be the great visuals to present its story in cut scenes.
Has solid reviews online.
Anyone play this?
I liked this game a lot. If I were to rate it i'd give it somewhere between a 8.0-8.5
It just has A LOT of trial and error moments. The stealth is designed in such a way that the encounters are more like puzzles than anything else, where things need to line up almost perfectly in order for the 'solution' to work. Being off by just a hare can often result in failure and a restart. Thankfully the checkpoints are generous and you never get put too far back from where you were.
The presentation is fantastic and the storytelling is actually pretty well done. Those were the highlights of the game for me.

Yea not a fan of the genre usually but this game looked good and the saves are actually really good. It doesn't restart a level or anything it saves constantly.

Looks like a game. Could be kind of interesting, not sure from the trailer.

I played the demo. At least there it played like a much more basic version of Shadow Tactics if you've played that. Or Desperados III. It has similar elements and all but the demo was clearly the intro so I don't know if you end up controlling a whole group that can kind of chain scenarios together like in those games.

Game is good to great. I dropped Wuchang and going deep into this. The city they crafted is fantastic. Looks straight out of Dishonored. The cutscenes are all pre-rendered so playing on steamdeck is pretty stable.
