CounterSpy

CounterSpy is a simple but effective stealth game that is about stopping two rival nations that have started a arms race to nuke the moon which will have the bad side effect of the moon falling onto the planet. As a agent of C.O.U.N.T.E.R. it is your job to stealth your way through a assortment of hidden bases to find the plans in order to stop armageddon. Most of the time this game is played in a 2D perspective although it kicks into 3D when hiding behind cover. Using the short amount of time to take down a room full of guards without anyone seeing is really satisfying. Although later on something like that is nearly impossible since they put way to many guards in one room near the end of the game. The third person shooter transition works well with very few issues although I noticed that the guards were kinda iffy on whether they could see me or not.

Also each base is randomly generated so it's never the same layout. In some ways this gives the game some variety yet it is just the same type of rooms over and over again just in different configurations. Other than the nice pitch I gave during the intro to this review this game doesn't have any kind of story at all. But it's not really trying to make that part interesting since the unique art style and the cold war theme is what makes this game stand apart. If sneaking into a nuclear silo while a jazzy spy theme plays sounds fun to you then check this game out. Just know it has a few flaws that make it less than perfect.
