While it'd be easy to dismiss it as a WWII-flavoured Splinter Cell clone, there's a lot more to it than just skulking around in the dark and peering through keyholes. Developed by a German team, Replay Studios, the game offers a unique perspective on the war - while ostensibly told from the Allied forces' point of view (its heroine Violette Summer was loosely inspired by the real-life story of British spy Violette Szabo)."
