Shadwen could have been something truly special but unfortunately it fails to reach the lofty expectations built up around its ambitious central premise.

Critic Reviews
Shadwen Review
Shadwen is a stealth-action game in which there's no action and the stealth is completely undermined by counter-productive design choices that defy logic or reason. The whole package suffers from a distinct lack of polish and is chock full of half-baked ideas and badly implemented mechanics. It's a Frankenstein's monster of a game stitched together from the dead bits of other, better games, but ultimately it possesses the heart and soul of none of them. There's no reason to recommend Shadwen to anybody other than prospective game developers looking for a lesson in what not to do.

Have some high points, but they soon give way to glaring faults. Not the worst, but difficult to recommend.
