Spy game with a touch of sci-fi
The Spy Who Shrunk Me is a premium action game for PC created by developer Catland. It is a first-person stealth shooter that has players take on the role of a deadly spy that goes on various covert missions to take out targets and complete objectives across the world.
Compared to the likes of Dishonored 2 or Deathloop, The Spy Who Shrunk Me is a game that incorporates stealth and finesse into its core gameplay. However, it features a distinct art style and presentation that is more akin to comic books and classic titles of the past.
Spies that never die
The Operative: No One Lives Forever was a first-person stealth shooter that received universal acclaim for its story-driven gameplay, stylish and charming visuals, and offbeat humor that resonated with a lot of players back then. It's one of the most influential stealth games ever made, serving as inspiration for new releases to this day, and The Spy Who Shrunk Me is basically a love letter to this classic masterpiece.
This game is essentially a modern reincarnation of the classic game. You play as Audrey Smoothspy, and you're the only agent crazy enough to take on the Soviet Union and keep the Cold War from escalating. Armed with an assortment of spy gadgets and a stolen shrink ray, you'll be taking out Communist members in a humorously deadly fashion and thwarting evil plans of global domination.
Your missions will take anywhere from Moscow to Berlin in a globe-trotting escapade, complete with fully-voiced acting and narration throughout. You can even unlock multiple endings and take on special challenges like completing missions without killing anyone. Sadly, the whole experience is rather short. Hopefully, more content or a sequel will arrive in the future—this charming game deserves that much, at the very least.
Femme Fatale
If you're a fan of the original No One Lives Forever series and wished a new game for it gets released, The Spy Who Shrunk Me is as close as you'll get to have that come true. From its visuals to the gameplay, and even its equally charismatic heroine, it managed to capture the essence of what fans loved about the original and built upon it. This is a must-try.
