Sure thing! Let’s dive into the weird and wonderful world of stealth games and the nostalgic throwback of “No Sun to Worship.” Buckle up, because this might get a bit bumpy.

Stealth games, man. They send me straight down memory lane. Remember 1987? Probably not, ’cause most of us weren’t even around, but Hideo Kojima’s “Metal Gear” dropped like a sneaky bomb back then, and, boy, it was quite something. The whole sneak-and-peak world transformed. And then came “Thief” (a sequel no less), “Hitman,” and “Splinter Cell,” all throwing their hats in the ring. Fast forward, here’s the thing: stealth-action games got all extra-complex, which is cool and all, but they kinda lost the magic sauce. Enter “No Sun to Worship,” trying to snatch back that old-school charm.
So there’s this indie dev called Merlino Games—you know, the kind of folks who probably brainstorm with coffee jitters and wild ideas. They spat out this game with six quick, bite-sized chapters. Simple gig: sneak in, take out the baddies, sneak out. Sounds easy? Ha! Life’s never that simple. They toss you a bunch of tools, and you gotta figure out how to MacGyver your way through. Like…what will you do with your last couple of bullets? Maybe pretend the empty gun isn’t empty? Brave or bonkers, who cares—it’s your call. No clue why, but that resonates with me.
Visually—gotta talk about the art—this game is dripping in retro vibes. The world feels deserted, like post-nuclear, people-mending-their-broken-world kinda vibe. Almost makes me shiver thinking about the landscapes.
But really, “No Sun to Worship” isn’t just another throwback. It’s like a love letter to the stealth games of old, with today’s fashion sense. If you’re itching to test those sneaky fingers of yours, this game might just be your jam.
Oh, and if you’re on Xbox Series X|S, it’s waiting for you. Might make you wanna dust off your stealth boots. Or not. But maybe, right?
