I remember anticipating Death to Spies 3 for so long. Not many people had even heard of the first few games. I remember seeing the alpha footage trailer, and then the game went off the radar. Fast forward almost two years later, and I accidentally happen upon Alekhine's Gun: the new title for Death to Spies 3! I was so excited, I thought it had been canceled. "This is gonna be a rival to Hitman!" I said. But then I received the game in the mail. It all went downhill from there. You literally cannot see. The lighting is absolutely terrible. Nothing you adjust on your TV will fix it. I have no idea where I'm going half the time. Also, there's no way to adjust display settings on the in-game menu. The AI is something you would see in a 90's game. They forget any wrongdoing they witnessed you committing after you go into a different room and close the door. The controls are TERRIBLE. Nothing about them is smooth or logical. There are quite a few buildings in what I've played of the game so far that are just inaccessible, but completed on the outside, save for a boarded-up set of doors. The game is latent with proof that the developers lacked the time and funding to release a polished final product. I feel bad for them, because those who've played their previous games can see what they've achieved in the past. I figure it couldn't be as bad as people said. Some people complain about how clunky and unfinished Thief: Deadly Shadows was, and I absolutely loved that game! This is not case with Alekhine's Gun. The one star rating is not me just being mad and overly dramatic. It's honesty; the game is genuinely unplayable.Read full review

I love these types of games...I will give any game a chance it doesn't have to be a one of those big release ...high production games for me to like it...some of my favorite games are from smaller companies...a good game is a good game...this just is not one of them...there is nothing smooth at all in this game...very disappointing i don't even think an update can save it.... so broken in every way

The concept overall is very intriguing and comes from a previous franchise. Just a poor execution. The game itself plays more like a godfather/mafia type game than a stealth game. It just doesn't "move fluidly like one would expect.
