The Swindle review | GamesTM

GamesTM:

Truth be told, this issue is alleviated later on into a campaign once each of the abilities are unlocked, but none of that makes up for the awkward controls. Numerous times you’ll die because your thief simply failed to grip the opposite wall or landed in the direct sight of a passing guard after a jump was inexplicably converted into grasping onto the wall beside them. At times, it can be too clunky and a little finicky, but while The Swindle is undoubtedly a great idea, games of this ilk can’t suffer missteps like infuriating controls – and sadly that does hold this game back.
