    Interesting idea and aesthetic. Boring gameplay. You open same doors, kill same guys, in exact same looking levels. Unlike certain things like abilities but need to buy them each level for some reason. Need to find multiple items to unlock single gun but because thats only on certain levels you dont progress with game. Made it to final mission but had only 3 guns and would have had to farmInteresting idea and aesthetic. Boring gameplay. You open same doors, kill same guys, in exact same looking levels. Unlike certain things like abilities but need to buy them each level for some reason. Need to find multiple items to unlock single gun but because thats only on certain levels you dont progress with game. Made it to final mission but had only 3 guns and would have had to farm to get more. Also threat level is super stupid and once it gets to 1, which it will based on terrible cover, sneaking, and alert systems that are super finicky, youre screwed. Final mission impossible to beat when forced to gun fight 10 guys at once that shoot rockets at you. Some parts you cant sneak which is horribly done. Fun for a level or two, but gets boring real fast, and game systems are poorly done.… Expand

    Stupid game! Misleading. The rogue like levels ruin all stealth and turn this into a cover shooter. At times you have to be discovered and just shoot your way through. You lose sense of player choice very easily. You cant even see enemies ahead of you or parts of the level at times and there is no camera control. So disappointing from a game with such uniqueness and potential. It can beStupid game! Misleading. The rogue like levels ruin all stealth and turn this into a cover shooter.

It can be fun but you really need to lower your expectations for this one. Becomes very repetitive very quickly. Im glad I got this for free with PS+.… Expand

    Dull, frustrating, boring little game. What a waste. The things that could be done with a spy game. Firstly the whole thing should have been a 3D cover shooter, second there should have been no random generation,3rd no buying bullets, 4th just why even make this crap to begin with?

    No fun to be had here people, ps+ has given us more utter sh@t this month.

    A good stealth game with a mix between 2D and 3D Gameplay. Its arts are lovely, but is far too short and has a lack of depth.

    An entertaining stealth platformer. There's some visibility issues in certain situations, though. [Nov 2014]

    I don’t like stealth games, because I find most of them boring. I launched CounterSpy just because its visuals caught my eye, but I put the controller away only after I saved the world. [Nov 2014, p.60]
