A decent enough stealth game with some fun mechanics. The story isn't the most engaging (in either the main campaign or the Nightfall levels), but the gameplay is what matters most here.

The levels and your skillset start off small to help you get the hang of the basics, but the maps become more open as you progress and seeking out hidden scrolls will grant you points to spend on new abilities. While I didn't find every last scroll, I found enough to unlock all the main abilities. I made good use of most of them, often trying them in different combos to avoid being found out, even later on when perfection became less of a priority.

On that note, the game offers some replay value, with medals you can earn on each level - for killing all enemies, for killing no enemies, and for not being seen. I briefly considered going back for some of these, but the mechanics were buggy enough to deter me - I'd be too annoyed to have a good run ruined by a glitched enemy reaction or not being able to teleport when I should be. Besides, the medals only unlock extra skins, so there's not much being missed.

Something to keep in mind: I'm not sure how the other versions fare, but the Switch version does start to chug a bit in certain areas, most notably in the final area of the main story.
