What the hell is Seven: The Days Long Gone? Is it cyberpunk or technofantasy? Is it an isometric homage to Thief, or an open-world model of Shadow Tactics, or some form of bug-eyed, zoomed-out Assassin’s Creed? It’s too early within the day (half previous twelve within the afternoon) for me to reply these questions with any readability. But the builders would in all probability say it’s all the above. It’s out right now if you happen to badly needed to seek out out.
You play as a thieving scoundrel, shackled and transported to the jail island of Peh. “From the moment you set foot on Peh,” says the blurb, “the island is open to you….

The studio behind it, Fool’s Theory, embody some of us who labored on The Witcher 3, like senior quest designer Jakub Rokosz and composer Marcin Przybyłowicz. That doesn’t assure good issues however followers of Geralt’s misadventures may be comforted. I’m delay by this Shadowrun model of style fence-sitting, feeling like they conflict greater than distinction. Less “sweet and salty” and extra “sour and spicy”. But even I’ll admit it no less than appears to be like completely different.
