Shadwen also has a grappling hook in her possession which allows her to not only move to higher vantage points but also manipulate objects like crates, wagons and barrels to create distractions. It’s awkward and clunky and feels more like a gimmick than a helpful addition. Whereas in SUPERHOT it made the game unique and challenging, here it serves to be a hindrance. Yes it allows players to survey the surroundings looking for vantage points, safe paths and aiming the grappling hook for performing air manoeuvres, but its poorly implemented. A button needs to be held to make time move while the player isn’t moving, which means sitting in a hiding spot for a significant amount of time waiting for guards to move out of the way for Shadwen to progress. Hence the player doesn’t have to bother about inconvenient things such as breaking line of sight or scampering away to a dark corner till the guards stop looking for her.Īlso time in the game stops when Shadwen stops moving, a feature similar to SUPERHOT.

I found it to be really helpful because it allowed me to rectify a mistake made a second ago or a series of them made over the course of last few minutes.Īlso if Shadwen is spotted the game immediately ends. It’s a really useful and convenient feature because it eliminates the problem of having to frequently save the game at specific points and then reloading once things go wrong, forcing you to sit through a loading screen. This feature allows players to rewind time by an indefinite amount and takes the place of traditional quick save-quick load system. Unlike the Prince of Persia games, there is no story explanation for its presence in the game, it simply acts like a gameplay mechanic for players to use. Winners will be announced in the forums soon afterwards.One of the coolest gameplay aspects that I feel is one of the game’s strengths is the ability to rewind time. So put on your soft leather gloves, don your darkness-colored robes, and exercise your rope-throwing: unsung glory and awesome prizes await! In case more than 10 entries are tied for the top spots, winners will enter a raffle.
