To me, this art style seems like something the developer would have had to absolutely commit to in order to make happen. Doesn't strike me as laziness so much as a very defined vision that you don't find appealing.

I actually feel the exact opposite about it. To me it feels like a completely undefined vision, and that's probably what bothers me the most. The box characters directly conflict with the environment art. I would also argue that deciding to make all your characters boxes doesn't take a great deal of commitment.

I think "should be embarrassed" is pretty harsh, as I do generally like the look, but I do wish the characters were at least triangular. Would make it a little more obvious what direction everybody is looking in. Those vision cones seem to pop up only after you've wandered into them.

I don't think the developer should be embarrassed, just that I would be embarrassed, but that was a bit of harsh of me anyway. I got a little carried away in my rent :)

Visuals are not the most important part of a game (in most cases), but they do play a important role in enhancing or diminishing the experience and I guess I'm just more sensitive about it than most.

You also make an excellent point about a missing visual cue that seems vitally important. @rox360 Also made a good point about the environment art issues, but these are of course problems that some people would not even notice or care about.

Light looks like a better hacking game than Watch_Dogs.

Also, this may be the quickest of looks since like 2009.

Gameplay wise and aesthetically just not my cup of tea. I'm sure some will enjoy it though.

Oh fuck yes! Hadn't heard of this game until now. I have been wanting someone to make Hitman: The In-Game Map: The Game for ages now. Monaco was too um, busy, i guess. Didn't have the right quiet feel to it. Hitman puzzle game was IOS only. But this! This might be it.

INSTANT SOLD. D:

Hitman Go was recently released for Android too. I found it was enjoyable but brief, so your mileage may vary.

"You know, I could've been in the NSA, but they found out my parents were married."

I'm not knocking this game's soundtrack but they probably should have just bucked up and ripped off James Horner's amazing Sneakers soundtrack.

I just watched Sneakers tonight and I couldn't help but notice how much Drew and Robert Redford look alike in that movie. Anyone else get that vibe?

Y'all might also find "Invisible, Inc." interesting. Early access, so if'n you're not into that, stay away, but it is an interesting game. Dunno if I'd call it "fun" yet, but it's getting there.

Whats the point of the line of sight when you can see every character outside your line of sight? Just curious if its a visual thing or if it's tied to the design in a way I'm not noticing.

Drew and Robert Redford are actually the same person. Because time travel.
