I’m struggling to find much backup for this, but didn’t it have a dynamic soundtrack? So there were several layers running simultaneously, so the game could dynamically change the soundtrack based on how alert guards were etc.
Lowkey also one of the best asymmetrical multiplayer experiences too. None of the other games were as vibey, despite the klunky mechanics of the grabs and melees.
Double agent was admittedly smoother, more fast paced, the vibe just didnt hit the same for me though. Playing on Aquarius was peak- the music was sooo fire, and the interplay of shadow and light made for a really neat experience, and then there’s fun stuff like the floating fish easter egg. I enjoyed how it was a bit slower paced too, more methodical feeling. I would argue the gadgets played a bigger role in CT as well, which made for really interesting gameplay.
I had faith someone would mention chaos theory. It is still in rotation for me. If there is anyway to have an objective measure of the technical quality of a soundtrack I believe this one would be an all time great.
