Eriksholm The Stolen Dream review - a stealth game just like any other
Think of a stealth game, and an image of its protagonist quickly takes shape; they're surrounded by tremendous danger, equipped with a limited arsenal, and have to stay crouched in the shadows to avoid death. Such trappings go back to the original '87 Metal Gear, since they're so effective at conjuring the heady thrills of overcoming unlikely odds. In these games, you're pilfering valuables and side-stepping carefully laid traps. You're sniping at enemies with scant ammo. You're avoiding detection from would-be captors under the guise of darkness.
