March 2026
One of my favorite stealth games of all time. I love WWII games, I like the story arc, and I love the environments and mission settings. It's really, really, dark though. This shows the serious side of Nazi destruction and sadism that they don't usually make games about. I get this kind of sick feeling from some of the images you'll see. Not because they are gross, but because they really happened.

It’s alright, not bad. give it a try if you’ve already played most of the great stealth games. PS: For those who couldn’t get it to launch, install NVIDIA PhysX Legacy version 9.13.0604 and run the game as an administrator.

I mean, I got it for 70 cents. Yeah, the game isn't good but I'm not going to give it a thumbs down for that price.

The stealth mechanics are somewhat flawed and often unforgiving, but the overall style and charm makes up for it. The only major let down is the very final level of the game, where the stealth gameplay is dropped entirely for the sake of increasing the difficulty.

A nostalgic stealth classic with a brilliant concept held back by clunky gameplay.
