Assassin by Ruby Games is a stealth-action title that blends assassination mechanics with open-world exploration. Players take on the role of a shadowy operative tasked with eliminating high-profile targets across sprawling cities. The game’s hook lies in its emphasis on strategy: silent takedowns, environmental kills (e.g., pushing enemies into traffic), and disguises are key to success. Graphics are stylish yet functional, with a noir-inspired color palette that enhances the atmosphere. Controls are intuitive, though combat can feel repetitive against larger groups. Progression unlocks gadgets (e.g., throwing knives, drones) and stealth suits, while side missions add depth. While ads between levels and occasional bugs (e.g., AI pathfinding issues) detract from the experience, Assassin offers a refreshing take on the genre, rewarding patience and creativity over brute force.
