The verdict
A grim, atmospheric stealth-horror classic with brutal executions, but the Steam port ships broken by leftover anti-piracy code and needs a community fixer. Skip it if you won't patch.
Great for
Fans of dark, gory stealth horror who don't mind installing a free community fixer
Main risk
The Steam version is unplayable out of the box (gate softlock, crashes) until you patch it
What players love
Free community fixer makes it great
