Also, invasions.
Don’t skip them, they’re great. At least try them for an evening.
You can turn them off, or open it to all, and I think most interesting, you can set it to friends only. Which could be amazing. If you turn it off then the game seems to send an AI after you.
You can only be invaded a set number of times per loop. I don’t know how many times that is but I suspect it’ll be just a couple of times.
My experience is that it’s pretty well balanced. I don’t know if they matchmake based on level and skill, but so far it’s felt fair.
As an Invader you start pretty bloody weak. I haven’t ended anyone’s loop yet but I have taken a couple of lives (as Colt, you get more than one life, which also levels the playing field a lot).
It’s really cat and mouse stuff. My absurd reduction here is Hitman X Dishonored X Spies Vs Mercs
Also you don’t have to kill Colt to make progress. You get points for lots of things while invading.
