![]() ![]() It’s hugely enjoyable, and gives off the inviting atmosphere, but it doesn’t tax your PC, massively, nor your senses (other than just being frustrating at a lot of times) and there are occasional issues such as characters falling through a fence, or rather partly ‘appearing’ through it, because they’re too big for the area they’re walking along. When going through the levels, it’s sometimes easy to run through, but it’s tough to master, especially since additional run-throughs of each level finds some baddies in slightly different places, so it does cleverly wrong-foot you.įor this game, all the elements that make it up are worth a straight 8/10.

In short, you’re an assassin, and there’s a supernatural tinge to how you go about things, but in short, whileyou collect some items and destroy others, the real fun here is the ability to quickly zip about and fight the enemy known as ‘Kaiho’, a bunch of mystical warriors who control the light (presumably they know where they switch is – ho, ho, ho). ![]() You can catch a glimpse of all the above in Microsoft's latest Games with Gold run-down trailer.Aragami is a game I never played on its original release as it slipped past me, but then stealth is what this title is all about.
