Previously Take

A respectable 81 average that never found its audience. A stealth game at heart — patience, shadows, and the satisfaction of never being seen. Solo only, and better for it — this is a one-player experience through and through. A 2001 original that still holds up — they don't make them like this anymore, literally.
