This is the core of the game. You must stick to shadows and time guard patrols.

If you manage to get your hands on a stream or eventual disc, here is how your viewing experience will change:

Most people focus on the video, but a new 4K release almost always comes with an upgraded audio track. Expect a DTS-HD Master Audio or Dolby Atmos mix. The slamming of the cell doors in "Pilot" will shake your subwoofer. Ramin Djawadi’s iconic score (which sounds tinny on DVD) will have orchestral depth.
