I like Ninja Game! Dodging a sword swipe by pure strafing, grappling the dude, knocking him down, and then picking up his own sword to use against him is super fun! Kinda wish swords did more damage, and that dudes couldn't block with their bare hands (at least so easily), but I guess it's to encourage stealth more than going in guns blazing. Enemies strike a good balance between being aggressive while still giving you some breathing room if you fuck up.
I haven't encountered any significant bugs so far, except that sometimes the lock on loses its target.
Not super fond of the item switching system; it's functional but I wish the cursor would snap automatically to the next item.
Also, I feel like the view range of archers is a bit too narrow and short, I was surprised this guy didn't spot me.
Looking forward to further developments.
