Pretty cool stealth game. Easy to get into and play, and if you screw up you've almost always have a checkpoint nearby causing you to not lose much progress. As a matter of fact, it might even be a bit TOO generous with checkpoints. Some achievements are behind DLC (or remastered edition upgrade, these days) now, which is a bit cheap, although i'm not sure you can buy the game without it any more.
The stealth/assassination gameplay of Mark of the Ninja is really good. Information is clearly telegraphed, you have plenty of tricks to use, and landing kills is satisfying. What really enamored me to the game, though, was the story and setting. There aren't a lot of games unafraid to give you an ending like that. I really enjoyed this game!
Platforming and Stealth gameplay doesn't get much better than this...
