Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking combat without riddles or puzzles may hit a wall when progression requires solving them.
- Players looking for a purely stealth-based experience may bounce off when encounters require choosing between fleeing and killing enemies.
- Players seeking multiplayer action may not find a match for that preference in this single-character search story.
Our take on Old Evil
The bounce point arrives when puzzle solving becomes part of progression. Players who want a direct combat route may stop at the riddles, while those who prefer stealth-only play may hit the combat choice between escaping and killing enemies.
