SPY X ANYA: Operation Memories, an upcoming PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch game by developer Alterego, is gaining traction in the gaming community after showcasing their new, exciting gameplay trailer.
The first-person stealth game allows players to inhabit the role of spies Anya Lei and Miguel Mejia, who must work together to protect a secret splinter cell and fight espionage in their organization. Beyond simply staying undercover, the spies must escape traps and escape detection in each mission. The game features an extensive range of puzzle designs for the player to challenge their wits and logic against, including instrument-based puzzles and gizmos, light and shadow puzzles, and puzzle-based avoidance.
Gameplay wise, the game challenges Anya and Miguel to stay under the radar even while using their various gadgets and tools. Players must stay mindful of their environment, as any noise or motion may draw unwanted attention. The spies must manage their resources and decide when it’s best to stay hidden or take a chance and maneuver around for a more direct approach. The game trailer also showcases the advanced A.I of the game’s enemies. These realistic-looking and behaving enemies can be bribed, injured or killed and will react to the spies’ every action.
Visually, the game looks stunning with its photorealistic character models combined with its stylized and sleek cooling color palette. Character customization and many interactive levels, locations, and items make the game immersive and varied. SPY X ANYA: Operation Memories is a promising game with charming characters, challenging puzzles, tactical game-play and gorgeous aesthetics. A release date has yet to be announced, but the game is estimated to release in 2020.
