Keep it strong

Well, that was an aggravating hour. Four levels in and all I have to show for it is a sour mood.
This game looks so nice and seems like it'd be a fun stealth game if it wasn't for the fact that I'm not being challenged on getting myself through areas undetected but rather on getting a defenceless child through them undetected. An escort game, hooray! I have no direct control over the child and have to trust her AI to get her from hiding place to hiding place, or ping locations for her to run to and guide her manually. Except, the child is very stupid and seems to really love hesitating and running back to where she was, or even just barging through piles of boxes, making lots of noise and attracting the very guards I just distracted. GG. Time freezes when you aren't moving, too. I gather this is so you can aim your grappling hook more easily and assess your circumstances, but it means that the entire game has a grating stop/start rhythm to it. It's honestly just annoying, like watching a video that hasn't fully buffered.
I feel bad calling this a bad game since I've played it for such a short amount of time, but that entire time was spent getting annoyed and angry because of the specific things the game is built around that make the game unique. Leaves me thinking that the issues I'm getting wound up by now are never going to go away and carrying on would be an act of insanity.
