    Shadwen is a true GEM and a bargain to boot. In today's gaming industry you can often feel cheated in the sense of a lack of value for the cost of the game; especially in todays ever expanding world of DLC. That is not the case here as Shadwen is an absolute value and overall well polished game. Its a stealth game with the twist of deciding to kill those in your way or let them live andShadwen is a true GEM and a bargain to boot. In today's gaming industry you can often feel cheated in the sense of a lack of value for the cost of the game; especially in todays ever expanding world of DLC. That is not the case here as Shadwen is an absolute value and overall well polished game. Its a stealth game with the twist of deciding to kill those in your way or let them live and avoid conflict. It's honestly done very well and I've found the game to be really entertaining. The time element is very cool as its based on your movement or lack of movement as to whether time is moving. My one complaint would be that the environments can begin to blend together and look very similar and things can feel somewhat repetitive. At this price point though these are easy concessions to accept and feel hardly worth mentioning. If you are a gamer on a budget or just craving a game of stealth, then Shadwen is for you!… Expand

    Overall, Shadwen is recommended to anyone who appreciates a challenging and thought provoking old-school stealth experience which even has a unique premise of time remaining still whenever your character is not moving with further time manipulation powers.

    Repetitive, buggy, and hamstrung by underbaked design, Shadwen feels like an unfinished product. [July 2016, p.79]

    Overall, I think Shadwen could be a good game, but for whatever reason I was unable to play it as the developer intended.
