Even though I can make bodies disappear now, lure people out, and kill them from afar, I need to get through a massive area before I hit a save spot. Especially because the time between the checkpoints just gets longer as you gain more abilities to deal with enemies. I’m far enough in the game that I’ve gotten a fair amount of the unlockables and upgrades, and while these things help a lot, the game is still rather unforgiving. His stealth walk is incredibly slow and his run is incredibly noisy. Since it’s a shadow travel, if I ever found myself out in the light then I was just kind of out of luck. While being able to blip from shadow to shadow is pretty darn cool, and a quick way from getting from point A to point B, it’s not usable everywhere. Being an aragami, I had the power of manipulating the shadows in this game. Another thing that really bugged me was just how slowly aragami moved. Sometimes it’s incredibly difficult to get a guy far enough away from another to be able to kill him without being noticed. For instance, when I was stealthed and moved up to kill a man, the kill was not actually silent. Not only was it the dead bodies that kept giving me away, but there were other things I found almost prohibitively difficult to deal with. This meant I was doing a whole lot of restarting for the first few levels. There wasn’t a way to move dead bodies, it would seem that aragami couldn’t be bothered to interact with them that way. They lay wherever they happen to fall and any time an enemy sees or hears something weird they are quick to walk over and alert everyone that there’s a dead man. In the beginning level or two of this game, there isn’t a way to make dead bodies not be noticed. This decision made things incredibly hard for me. Even though this was a bit out of my usual norm, I felt it fit for the flavor of the game. Since I, as an aragami, was a spirit of vengeance though, I wanted to kill everyone as well. Since I was given this choice with Aragami, I quickly decided that I was going to be very low profile no one would notice me as I drifted through the levels. If I'm given a choice, I trend towards a super stealthy nonlethal approach when it comes to most of these games. Considering I’ve enjoyed them so much in the past, I was expecting to have a really great time with Aragami. I haven’t played many stealth based games, but all the ones I have done I’ve really enjoyed: Assassin’s Creed, Thief (for the PS4, not the older one), and Dishonored (both 1 and 2) are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. At the end of each mission you’re graded based on how well you did, and you can get different skins/costumes for your aragami depending on how you chose to play through the level. You can choose to go around and murder everyone, or you can just stealth past everyone to get to the objectives. In any case, here’s some context: it’s a 3rd person stealth game where you play an aragami, which is a spirit of vengeance. I try to wait until I’m done playing a game entirely before reviewing it, but I just don’t know that I’ll fully finish this one. Still, try I will.Īs of this moment I haven’t finished Aragami if I had to guess I’d say I’m probably about 3/4ths of the way through. I really wanted to like this game, but there’s just something about it that really seems to rub me the wrong way I’m not even sure I can really elucidate it that well.
