Alekhine's Gun

I finished both Death to Spies 1 and 2 with zero crashes or issues in a total of 25 hours on a modern PC. Even though this is a newer game, it crashed 5 times in 20 minutes. Literally unplayable. And even if it never crashed, it is obvious the quality dropped massively after the first two games, both of which I liked very much.

Coming back from death to spy series, this is a good one as well. Really miss the older stealth genre nowadays. The overall story and gameplay was great.

i tried a bit of the first two games (death to spies), but i liked this the most, Semyon too, a lot. the gameplay was also kind of fun, although sometimes some parts of the game felt like too much walking and big map (similar to how the first two games). the ending could have been better, but was okay.

crashes every 5 minutes

Plays like older Hitman games; similar to Contracts and Blood Money but with a WW2 backdrop. Not bad, albeit quite dated, even when it was newly released; it released at the same time the first WOA game released and the difference is substantial. Controller support needs to be manually enabled in games settings. Worth buying on a sale. Needs cloud saves though

For those not familiar with the Death to Spies franchise, you're going to have a very mediocre time. If you are, welcome to the third entry. Death to Spies is a copy (and a damn good one) of the original Hitman games. Composed entirely from Hitman 2: Silent Assassin. For all intensive purposes, it is Hitman 2 with World War 2 skin. Where the first D.T.S. game was lackluster in direction and even story, the second game Moment of Truth had far better game play, better A.I., direction and was the better of the two games. Then comes Alekhine's Gun, a game that was thrown into the trash instantly upon release and no one looked at it. It is the third entry, and just an hour and a half in, it's the superior of the three. With far better controls, and even copying Hitman: Absolution's instinct feature to find items. Much like Hitman 2, the first level of Alekhine's Gun took me nearly an hour to complete being as quiet as I could, and still getting a poor rating. The stealth is tough, and it just gives that much more satisfaction when you are able to pass an area and ghost it. While even by 2016's standards, the graphics are roughly ten years outdated. Looking almost like 2007's Hitman Bl…
