Week after week, new publications hail on the players. Many highlights and insider tips are overlooked more and more often. And that's exactly how a game could be winter ember: a stealth action adventure, for which the developers were greatly inspired by the genre classic. However, this time is not in the dark Middle Ages, but in a more modern setting: The adventure victorian city is Anargal in which its various missions must fulfill. She plays Arthur Artorias, the only survivors of a massacre, who returns after eight years to hunt and practice revenge. In this case, one moves significantly in the footsteps of the master thief Garrett, albeit from a unusual perspective: similar to Metal Gear Solid or Diablo, the entire adventure is played from an isometric top-down view.
