Style Over Substance | Calvino Noir Review (New Gamer Nation)

Added: 10.09.2015 15:17 | 10 views | 0 comments

Calvino Noir is a side-scrolling stealth game that clearly draws a wealth of inspiration from noire spy thrillers of yesteryear. The well-written dialogue, striking black and white art design and the espionage story paint a beautiful homage to those tales that clearly inspired it. Unfortunately the great presentation isnt able to save it and it is in the actual playing of the game where it sadly stumbles, the weak and frustrating stealth mechanics, one shot deaths and unpredictable enemy awareness plague Calvino Noir and restrict it from living up to its better parts.
