One of the best RPGs even though a fairly short one, I just recently beat it 4 times over in the course of a, what, 15 hours, though to be fair that was with a lot of playthroughs behind me to begin with. It's like a game you learn to speedrun over time, even if just a bit, whether you try to or not.
There are four main classes to play, warrior, archer, sneaker and mage, and you can combine them however you want, so the skill system is pretty good. Dagger warrior is my favorite, throwing the knives is fun
The story is pretty decent but it's not where the game shines the most

The main attraction of the game is the combat system, it's pretty skill-based, very environmental and has good weight to it, with some few different weapons to use that get several variations to them you find in the game, in secrets or in plain sight.
With swords you can dismember people, with daggers you can throw knives when certain conditions are met, with staves (staffs?) you can knock people down and probably never manage to kill anything, with bows you can make the game too easy, and with magic you can have a lot of fun with such spells as telekinesis, freeze that you can cast on the ground to make a slippery spot, and a bunch of others that are good but don't matter as much, like fireballs, flamethrower or lightning bolt.

The game is technically very linear, but you have some good choices of approach to every section. You can often just sneak past enemies without killing them if you prefer, you can kill all of them, you can kick people into environmental hazards, off cliffs, you can cut ropes and break support beams to cause all kinds of chaos to kill your enemies

If not all this is convincing enough, then the pricetag should be, it costs like ♥♥♥♥ all, 5€ and you can get one of the most fun games with the best replayability to exist. I've beaten this game like legit tens of times over the course of my life and i don't think I'll ever get completely bored of it.

TL;DR: For 5€ you should just immediately grab this game if you have even the smallest, tiniest possible inch of interest in this. I'll give it a 95% chance that you won't regret it. 10/10
