PlayStation Vita Critic Reviews

Instead, I was thinking, "This game is so awesome." That, or silently cursing Curve Studios for making a game that's equal parts insanely addictive and fiendishly difficult. That's a dangerous combination if you ever want to put a game down — though why you'd ever want to put Stealth Inc. down, I don't know.

Stealth Inc: A Clone In The Dark is a special game and one that shows off the sort of thing the Vita was made for. A game that is simple to play, both in quick bursts or for hours on end, that offers up a challenge and doesn’t hold back just because it is on a handheld, At just £7.99 you will struggle to find another game that offers as much content for the price. This is one game that won’t be hiding in the shadows for long.

Stealth Inc. A clone in the Dark combines a clever design with navigation puzzles, traditional platforming and a complete level editor.

Not quite a classic, but not too far off, Stealth delivers something the Vita hardly has in abundance and does so with the kind of smart game design that makes for an addictive ride.

Interesting is the word. It’s interesting to see how each level works, how each element works together in a level so ingeniously. Stealth Inc’s mechanically fascinating, and holds you in just the right level of contempt as a player to keep you bashing your head against its heavily guarded walls.

Platform, puzzle and stealth in one single, addictive… and very bastard game. Take it and make yourself proud of your skills and patience!

Like the best puzzle games, it has a compulsive quality that makes you feel like a genius whenever you work it out.

Stealth Inc: A Clone in the Dark is a belter: occasionally frustrating and sometimes incredibly demanding, but always enjoyable and well-crafted throughout. An essential purchase for any Vita owner who likes a challenge, with the (now) standard added bonus of cloud saving across both Vita and PS3.

Take Super Meat Boy, give him the suit of Sam Fisher and add a handful of ingredients gathered from the best stealth game and two-dimensional puzzle-platformer. That is how you will get Stealth Inc: a Clone in the Dark, a title with a simple but incredible depth gameplay.

Stealth Inc. is packed with great level design and has a nice balance between tactics and reaction speed.
