Shadow Tactics is by far one of the most difficult stealth game I've ever managed to finish. While Blades of the Shogun isn't for everyone, it is an expertly crafted experience that combines adept storytelling with complex yet easy to control stealth gameplay. I would highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys stealth games but, because of the nature of the genre, it is hard to recommend to newcomers because of the steep difficulty curve and its dependence on quicksaving/quickloading.

8.5/10 story
9/10 gameplay
9/10 difficulty

overall a 9.5/10 for its genre
