Most of those arrows, though, are extremely limited in where they can be used - particularly the fire, water, and rope arrows that only work on very specific objects like open-flame lights and leaking oil barrels.

Their AI isn’t fantastic and will occasionally get stuck on walls, but it’s good enough that guards will notice unconscious or dead bodies and open safes, and they react as I expected them to when lured around with Garrett’s selection of trick arrows. The impressive lighting makes it almost believable that sometimes you can get close enough to a guard to steal the boogers from his nose undetected. It’s tough but fair, and gives you breathing room to avoid detection when you keep to the shadows. But that’s okay, because a good stealth game does everything it can to convince us to avoid direct confrontation. It’s easy against one enemy, but really tough against two or more, especially when there’s a guard with a crossbow involved. You can’t really simply overpower any enemies unlucky enough to catch a glimpse of you, because melee combat is a dumb and repetitive dance of dodging an enemy’s obvious incoming attack and countering. Going for a true stealth playthrough is a game of patience waiting for the right moment to either slip through a hole in the guards’ patrol pattern undetected or take out targets one at a time. He’s also wearing a corset for some reason. And he doesn’t have the charm, either in his flat voice acting or his lame, poorly lip-synced dialogue to make him a loveable Robin Hood rogue rather than some jerk who goes around swiping utensils off innocent people’s tables. His indiscriminate kleptomania makes him seem more like a petty thief than a master, though. Play As his title would imply, main character Garrett steals pretty much anything that isn’t nailed down, including junk like forks, pens, cups - you name it.
