You can continuously pump water directly into someone's throat, causing them to asphyxiate to the point of unconsciousness, then throw their limp body into a (pit of spikes/incinerator/large body of water) to have them die a long and painful death. And the game doesn't tell you this in the tutorial, so it's a pretty good game.

In addition to all the basic stuff feeling good right off the bat (particularly the weight of the characters), Wildfire excels at player driven comedy. In my playthrough, I found myself playing around with the weaker enemies to try to manipulate their "unaware" states. For example if you pop up right behind someone, they will always jump backwards, startled. Yes, that means off cliffs and into wildfires. Top notch stuff, and the situations that you can create are just great.

This sounds enticing, especially your first paragraph. I think I'll pull this game off my backlog this weekend.
