Stealth games are rarelyjustabout sneaking past enemies. Like shooters, they revolve around murder. Sneaky murder.Hitmanis about murdering targets, but while wearing a chicken suit.Deus Exis about murdering, but you have cool robot arms.Metal Gear Solidis about murdering your brother, but also nanomachines and the La Li Lu Le Lo and also Jack and Rose from the Titanic or something and also cardboard boxes and Johnny needs to do a poo.
If one of those pesky adults spots you and tries to cut you off at the pass, your only defence is to run away. And, given that they’re old and wrinkly and stupid and old, they have very bad eyesight. So, it’s not too difficult to put some distance between you and the seniors, as long as you have a clear path into a shadow-y area.
It’s far from perfect: the lack of an MGS-style map means it’s sometimes difficult to tell where your enemies are looking, and your Instinct ability (for lack of a better term) is far too sluggish, even with the game’s more relaxed pace. Still, if you’re looking for a non-violent, playful stealth game, you could do far worse than El Hijo.
