Stealth in Silent Assassin is more of an awkward dance, of hugging walls, and backtracking, and skirting around enemies in the hope that they won't think that you don't belong. The upshot is it's a very frustrating game, where every new guard encounter could ruin your plan for no reason you can hope to identify.

That certain characters have an easier time identifying 47 suggests that there is some logic to how suspicion works, but good luck figuring it out as you play. What if 47 just really needed a bathroom break? This is no way to run a workplace. A quick jog and the guns are immediately drawn. And god help you if anyone catches you running. But if you reload and walk down the same corridor in the same way, they'll let you go about your murderous business. Sometimes a guard will spot you as you pass them in a corridor. 47's disguises aren't perfect-he's still a bald guy with a barcode on the back of his head-so the possibility of being rumbled does add some tension to a level.īut it's wildly inconsistent. About the nicest thing I can say about it is that I can see what IO were trying to do. The main culprit here is the suspicion meter, which was another new feature for Silent Assassin.
