you play as photographer and orphanage
caretaker Jade as she sets out to
investigate rather strange
disappearances the game’s framing of her
efforts as a blend of stealth
infiltration melee combat encounters and
a photography mechanic are what made
this game such a cult classic

much like those earlier titles the
player spends much of their time
sneaking around and parsing out the
details of the larger world but here
it’s a matter of pinpointing who
betrayed Corvo and why the amount of
detail in the world’s history and mythos

painting aesthetic and truly dark and
interesting characters and this makes
for a story that you have to experience
for yourself this is a momentous

when Hideo Kojima wants to make a point
he’ll make damn sure that if it’s a
woman hammering the point home she’ll

another tense action thriller focused on
the exploits of Solid Snake but that’s
before it pulls the rug out from beneath
