Aragami Reviews
Aragami‘s gameplay and story is polished simplicity at its finest.
Aragami might have its foibles, but this purist take on stealthy puzzlers is a shadowy delight in places. Despite the patchy execution, the great ideas on show here suggest that Lince Works are definitely a studio to watch for the future.
Aragami’s well designed levels and fast-paced stealth are a good core, but the game’s list of drawbacks hold it down. Fans of the stealth genre probably won’t regret the purchase, as the game is entertaining and offers rewards for both the pacifistic and merciless play styles as well as an ample amount of collectibles hidden throughout each stage, but players should come in expecting an average-at-best experience that may be marred by technical hiccups and annoying glitches.
Aragami is definitely recommended to anyone looking for a game that has a sense of style and stealth to it that are hard to come by these days.
An interesting puzzle game with powerful abilities, and good level design. Though those abilities are quite overpowered for the tasks required for the game and trivialize the experience.
Aragami upholds the expectations of the now-retro franchise from which it was inspired, but struggles to exceed them.
Aragami has a very promising core. Well-crafted visuals, fun gameplay, and interesting characters, but newcomer Lince Works falls short on aspects like performance, the inconsistency of artificial intelligence and controls, and a few design choices. The overall result, however, is a good stealth game that despite the problems is quite fun-filled in its 10-hour campaign. It's a good start for the Spanish studio and I hope they stay in the stealth genre for their second game, fixing the problems presented in Aragami

Aragami is a beautifully-crafted stealth experience that rewards patience and cunning. The shadow mechanics are an absolute blast, and they're backed up by excellent level design and great replayability.
All in all, Aragami is a neat indie stealth title. The plot is alright, the stealth mechanics and abilities are decent, and the levels are just fine (though more verticality would have been nice). It’s a game that’s beautiful in presentation, sans some stiff animation, has great sound design, and is perfect to fill a day off, with a total gameplay time clocking in around 15 or so hours (if you take your time, and don’t co-op it).
Aragami is still a decent game to play. It requires patience, scheming and strategy to get past the 10-12 hours of gameplay and its story. It has great potential for crafting a fine game, especially for the Tenchu fans.
