Why not a twofer?

It seems a lot of the games I'm playing are mashups of other genres.

Seven: Enhanced Edition is a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk isometric stealth ARPG.

I'm not sure that the parts gel together that well. The graphics are great, the ability to run, jump, climb, and zipline from place to place, and then pickpocketing someone to get a key to enter a new area is kind of fun... but the isometric view makes it somewhat tedious.

When trying to navigate in a stealth game, I want to be able to get a full idea of what's going on around me.

The game has a function that allows you to scan an area using your cybernetic eye, but it disconnects from your position to scan, which feels like it takes away any sense of anchoring that view, relative to where you are.

It's not a bad game, it feels like once I get through what appears to be the introduction it may develop further, but I get so anxious, and becomg so very methodical and careful in stealth games, it kind of takes the fun out of it.

Seven: Enhanced Edition is:

3: OK
