This isn’t really the game for you if you like slow, measured and highly tactical stealth, but you should definitely play this if the thrill of the hunt and fast pacing is more your thing. It won’t take much of your time, it’s free to play and it’s entertaining, with the only flaw in it being that it could have done with more variety and creativity with its concepts. Still, in the end it’s a well-made game and it’s definitely a fun ride."
One of the challenges of creating a game is to establish effective pacing. The difficulty of balancing tension and subsequent release, challenge and gratification, highs and lows, is in making sure that they cycle at a steady, if occasionally unpredictable, pace. If one were to take a traditional stealth game such as, say, Assassin’s Creed and speed up the sawtooth cycle of stealth-tension to kill-release, then one would get Deity.
Assassin's creed is further from a stealth game than Battlefield is and certainly not traditional. There isn't even a sneak button! You literally RUN and RUN and JUMP and hope guards have poor memories because damn skippy they're going to hear and see your flashy metal plated robe behind.
