Even the brief passage of hand-painted stills that act as cutscenes and the questionably static voice-acting, feel more like tide-me-over’s rather than a necessarily embedded story or plot taking place. Further to that, flittering to the fargone days of Prince of Persia, failure in being spotted or simply regretting a decision can be instantly rewound, meaning you’re constantly in perpetual flow but are wiser because of it.įor those expecting a compelling or be it interesting tale spun from out the fantasy mythos will be left sorely disappointed however. Like the acclaimed puzzle-shooter then, players are given the chance to plan ahead, albeit a few seconds ahead, via the game’s centre mechanic that when you stop, time stops. It doesn’t quite warrant the hallmarks of a universal must-play, yet much like how Superhot inverted the first-person shooter in terms of structural philosophy - becoming more a puzzle game than a shooter - Shadwen at points feels more like a platformer than your typical stealth offering, but intrigues for that very reason. The kind that borrows from established favorites and attempts a new spin on the convention of sneaking past patrolling, cone-vision AI (and succeeding in moderate portions).
Shadwen, by developers Frozenbyte, is an odd fit for stealth…but a good kind of odd.

While Metal Gear Solid & Splinter Cell may put most on the focus on their deeply layered but immersive gameplay mechanics, others such as the Thief series or even recent newcomers in Dishonored tend to weave art direction and aesthetic in tandem to leave their pseudo-fantastical settings linger a little longer in humble memory. So long as, you might assume, said genre executes the act of sneaking one’s way through particularly puzzling and tense moments - and leaves it feeling enjoyable - the rest is mere window-dressing, right? But as we look back on recent history, not all stealth games play to the same rules and it’s interesting to see the varying priorities in some of the most acclaimed titles create equally proficient experiences. Stealth games are an odd bunch when you come to ponder just what makes that objective formula that guarantees success.
