Game is fun and it has an awesome concept but I just can't play it.
It's not only EXTREMELY easy to get lost - which is annoying af on it's own - because 99% of the environment = you are blind but the flashing yellow light hurts my eyes, even when toned down to the bare minimum.
Developer said the game is finished and that there will be no updates but, if somone wants to take it a step further and create something based on it, then just pick the detective vision from the Arkham series as inspiration, instead.
I liked the intro a lot, though. Explains everything in a matter of seconds. Every game with little to no plot should do the same.

Игра 'Noise Hunters' - это увлекательный сплав стелса, экшена и элементов Tower Defense. Мне очень понравилась концепция использования звука как оружия и ресурса. Шумовые гранаты, манипуляции с окружением, чтобы отвлечь врагов - всё это добавляет тактической глубины. Визуальный стиль приятный, хотя и не хватает полировки.
Сюжет довольно простой, но подается интересно через внутриигровые записки и диалоги. Сами враги разнообразны и требуют разных подходов к устранению. Мне особенно понравились боссы - каждый бой с ними это как головоломка, требующая использования всех доступных инструментов.
Некоторые моменты показались несколько затянутыми, а управление иногда казалось не самым отзывчивым. Тем не менее, общий игровой процесс увлекает. 'Noise Hunters' предлагает уникальный геймплейный опыт, который однозначно стоит попробовать любителям жанра. Рекомендую, если вам нравится стелс и вы готовы к вызовам!
