A remastered version of the snazzy stealth game République is now out for Mac and PC. And until March 4th, it only costs $20 on Steam, GOG, and the Humble Bundle. After that it goes up to $25.
Sneaky République Tricked Me Into Enjoying A Stealth Game
I do not enjoy stealth-action games. Kickstarter success story République is a game with deep roots in the Metal Gear Solid franchise — the pinnacle of the stealth-action genre. Why am I enjoying it so much? It's a matter of perspective.
It's Survival Horror, But Not As You Know It
It's easy to get excited about a Kickstarter game, see it backed then forget all about it. Understandable, too, since few of the really "big" Kickstarter games (Star Citizen, Broken Age) have been released. République, however, is just about done, and is looking pretty cool.
République's Ambitions Are Way Greater Than Just Metal Gear Stealth

An American developer with serious Metal Gear cred. The production studio that made that MGS4's wild intro movies. Looking at the upcoming stealth game they're collaborating on you could get the idea that this is just another Metal Gear Solid type game. You'd be wrong.
