It looks like you've only the single character rather than a team, though, and it's more stealth-focused. Although it gets loud when you're discovered. Apparently the sequel is being released in a month, which is probably why this game is being offered as a freebie. There is also a prequel to the sequel (Intravenous II: Mercenarism, https://store.steampowered.com/app/2651330/Intravenous_2_Mercenarism/ also available gratis). It doesn't look like a bad game, but neither does it really stand out from the crowd. It's fine as a freebie but I'd never pay for it. And the name is misleading. Intravenous implies the blood remains inside! But once the bullets start flying, the blood in this game is anything but inside! It's on the walls, the floor, the trees, the skybox... it's false advertising, I tell you! ;-) ;-) ;-)
