Yeah the stealth mechanics can be very frustrating, especially in NOLF1 which has some insta-fail missions if you get detected IIRC. I still love it, but I think that’s at least partly because I played it as a kid so I can overlook many of its flaws.

Been a few years since I played, but I remember the second game having some gameplay improvements, but otherwise it’s broadly the same: if you aren’t enjoying the first then you probably won’t enjoy the sequel either.

I would also add that it’s ok to not like a game, even if they’re critically acclaimed or cult classics. Doesn’t mean you’re wrong or that the game is overrated, just means you didn’t vibe with it and that’s fine. Plenty more games out there to enjoy!

I do think it's target audience was kids. I had a younger family member (about 12) introduce me to it at the time. I got a kick out of the gameplay and styles. It was sort of a spoof of a 90's video game (name I can't recall) with a common theme then - sort of over-the-top, "we're both in on the joke" kind of thing.
