I did it in the end.
I love that the optimal stealth gameplay is an alternative to implemented, traditional party-based crawler gameplay, it's infinitely more cool (and a more cool implementation of the matching theme) than if that latter part wasn't implemented, and the first runs playing this way before looking for the optimal way are fun too.
The visuals are awesome, a ton better than in your games from previous years which already looked pretty good, that's impressive.
the game plays as fast as you press the buttons, the plot is cool, the idea of choosing difficulty for rewards is a great implementation of the themes.
Overall a great game.
