Incredible game which adapts to your way of playing

The Good
I am amazed about how the level designs and mechanics let you play in so many different ways... I played as Emily the super stealthy no-kill assassin (wait, what?). That means I never got spotted and killed absolutely no one... and the game makes it quite possible.

The best levels are those restricted to one big building -- in particular, the Clockwork Mansion and Aramis Stilton's Manor are amongst the most memorable levels designs I have ever seen. The way the game adapts when you knockdown a certain character in the game is one of these "WOW" moments that leave you speechless.

Many cool powers ("Domino" is awesome, whoever thought of that?), and an interesting main character.

The Bad
Level sizes make the city levels feel artificially limited (the "one-big-building" levels do not suffer from this).

Another flaw: me. Since I decided to play super stealthy and without killing anyone, I had to do lots of reloads, which broke the flow of the game. But that's entirely my fault, I would probably have a lot more fun dealing with the consequences of being seen and using more all my resources.

The Bottom Line
All in all, a great game that mixes action and stealth the way you choose. Score: 88/100.
