Shadwen is a nice little stealth/action game that has a lot of potential as it tries to mix together some core mechanics from previously seen games like Prince of Persia or Assassin's Creed.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Some levels also were quite a bit too similar to eachother and they re-used the same assets a lot, making the game a bit too visually boring for my liking, though other than that the artstyle and the graphics were great to look at.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting is great (both guards and the main cast) and the sound design is okay as well.
