Saboteur

The videos that came out a couple weeks back already surprised me (I never expected anything good from that game, for some reason — mostly because I’ve never been very interested in WWII), but this demo of open-world gameplay really puts this game on the map for me.

I like the way you can climb everything (in a more realistic way than in every other game that lets you climb buildings), and I can only acknowledge a soft spot for playing in this alternate-reality Paris where all the landmarks are gonna be in the wrong place. At least, unlike The Crossing, that’s one game taking place in Paris that will actually be released.
