It's impressive for its big open maps and realistic physics. But (and maybe it's just me sucking at stealth games) the stealth mechanics here are kinda unhinged. Most of the times enemies can't see you like 20 meters away, other times they spot you like 50 meters away. Some enemy camps have no alternative entry ways, so you're almost forced to break through the main gate with guns blazing. Most stealth games give you mechanics or pathways that let you avoid combat, but not here. Every single mission I tried to play stealthily, I'd end up just shooting everybody.

In fact, sometimes it feels almost like the game encourages you to do that, giving you packs of grenades or close-range weapons like SPAS 12 shotgun. Yet at the same time you die very quick. So the whole game ends up being just a needlessly difficult Delta Force clone instead of a stealth game.

There are no saves or checkpoints during missions, so if you fail, you have to start all over again. And like I can respect a commitment to realism, but how realistic is a game where you can shoot a guy without a silencer about 20 meters away from another guy and he doesn't even notice?
