Sicaria

A good little short stealth game to satiate the itch for a purely stealth focused adventure. While short, I think it hits the mark on what it was trying to accomplish. I saw someone state this was a student's project and to me that makes it all the more cool. Glad to see touchstones from previous stealth franchises make an appearance with this one. Kind of heavy on the AC love but that's not a bad thing. To whomever made the score? Nothing short of a banger. Music was the fuel needed to drive this game into a better score for me personally than it may have been without. I ran into a few minor issues. • My attack button stopped working it felt like sometimes when I would use an item/tool and to get it back I would essentially have to die and restart the checkpoint. • Sometimes when using a controller the camera would pan upwards and to the right at random. • Sound going in and out especially during the last chapter.

Really cool concept - but that's all it is - very buggy some achievements don't work but if this idea as built out as a full game I would be there. As a student project concept I would put it right up in the 8/10.

Sicaria is a free-to-play stealth action title developed by Team Stelth and published by Breda University of Applied Sciences. Set against the grim backdrop of the Spanish Fury that devastated Antwerp in 1576, the game presents a focused adventure centered on infiltration, assassination, and survival rather than large-scale combat. Its historical setting immediately distinguishes it from many modern indie stealth games, grounding its narrative in a real-world tragedy while allowing players to step into the role of a skilled assassin determined to strike against oppressive forces. Although its scope is relatively modest, the game succeeds by concentrating on polished stealth mechanics and immersive level design. The gameplay revolves around remaining unseen, observing enemy patrols, and carefully planning every move. Charging directly into hostile encounters is rarely a viable option, encouraging players to rely on patience and strategy instead. Every corridor, rooftop, and shadow can become either a valuable advantage or a dangerous trap depending on how situations are approached. This deliberate pacing creates genuine tension throughout each mission, rewarding players who take th…

Honestly, I had a pretty good time with this. The stealth gameplay is simple but enjoyable, and the setting helps it stand out from a lot of other indie projects. Sneaking around guards, moving across rooftops, and making use of the tools available to you felt satisfying throughout the short playtime. It's definitely a little rough around the edges, and I ran into a few minor issues here and there, but considering it was made by students, it's genuinely impressive. The game doesn't overstay its welcome, and for a short stealth experience, I'd say it's worth checking out.

Sicaria is a students' game project but it was a really fun game I liked the bugs too

Very poorly made, I really tried to give it a chance given that it was made by university students but it's just not a good way to spend your time.
