Game was great, but not bringing the new Special Edition to PC (even as a paid upgrade) is ducking stupid. It's DmC: Definitive Edition all over again. Not cool at all considering the game sold 1 million copies on PC.

Gunpoint is a 2D stealth game, where you play as a spy/amateur electrician, called Richard Conway. You traverse the levels using your bullfrog trousers, which as the name suggests, allows you to jump around like a bullfrog...and land flat on your face until you buy the upgrade to land on your feet. You have a array of other gadgets at your disposable, like sticky gloves which allow you to scale buildings and hang from the roof, the Longshot which allows you to rewire enemy guns, the Prankspasm which allows you to boobytrap electronics and many others.

Your main tool is the crosslink, which allows you to rewire electronics. For example, you could rewire a light switch to open a door, leaving a guard morbidly confused when he tries to turn the lights back on. This allows the player to create many different solutions to the puzzles, and is excellently implemented.

The writing in the game is another of it's strong points. It's very British, and most of the things Conway says are hilarious. I'm not usually a fan of stealth games (mostly because I suck at them), but Gunpoint hits that sweet spot where even if you aren't a master spy, you can still have lots of fun with it.

The game is only 4 hours long, but it's a really good 4 hours. Whether you enjoy stealth games or not, pick it up sometime. I doubt you'll find anything like it for a long time to come. From a scale of punching a guard in the face, to jumping off a building, to kicking open a door and watching it fly into a guard who then falls through 7 story's of glass ceilings, I'll give it a umm...where was I going with this...10/10
