RPS haven’t given this one a go just yet, but our corporate siblings over at Eurogamer have anOver The Alps reviewthat can tell ya more about it. “This particular tale unfolds in text on the postcards the agent sends home to his old chum Aubrey,” Christian Donlan says. “Each stamp has an icon on it that encourages you to think of the kind of attitude it represents. Someone asks a favour: do you want to be debonair? Do you want to be professional? Do you want to be ruthless? Choose between the top hat, the glasses or the axe, then, mate.” Ah, so a BioWare dialogue wheel ‘em up, then? Snarky spy playthroughs only, please and thank you.
Donlan says “over the Alps reminds me a bit of skiing … The destination is never in doubt, but the way you get there - the style, the attitude, the poise - is the important part. What a lovely, bracing game this is.”
