El Hijo is a top-down stealth game by developer and publisher HandyGames, following a small boy as he explores his western town. Players will go through each level getting past different obstacles and enemies, such as bandits, wild animals, etc. I really enjoyed play El Hijo, the graphics were clean, the gameplay was smooth and exciting, and it kept me entertained for a long time.
I really want to talk about the graphics in this game. With a clean and minimalist approach, El Hijo felt fresh and exciting. It was very calming, and the relaxing music and nature sounds were a great touch.
I also liked the different character designs that helped add spice to the game’s look. For example, the main character has bright colored t-shirts and jeans, which allows him to pop out in the darker areas. As for the bandits, they wear all black, which allows them to blend into the darkness and surprise players at any moment.
The gameplay of El Hijo was exciting at certain points, and calming at others. The game started off peacefully, as you explored the church the boy lived in. Later on, you are being hunted and chased by bandits. I enjoyed both parts of the game, and I thought that this mix was really well done. The game kept me intrigued for a long time, and each mission had a different feeling to it.
I usually run into small issues in most of the games I play, whether it is the controls are weird, the game does not run well, etc., etc. But El Hijo did not have any noticeable mistakes. The game ran beautifully on my computer, the controls were super easy to learn, and there were no glitches or bugs.
With both thrilling and relaxing gameplay, beautiful graphics, and 0 bugs or glitches, El Hijo was an amazing game. I really think this stealth game is underrated, and I would love to see the game grow. I think adding more missions and DLC’s to this game would be a great idea, and I can not wait to see what the developers add.
I rate El Hijo a solid nine out of ten.
