Agent 47 is pulled out of retirement and must plan silent hits across sprawling levels from Sicily to Japan, using disguises, poison, and patience to reach his targets. Missions offer many approaches but punish mistakes harshly, all backed by Jesper Kyd's sweeping score.

007 First Light

Strong, story-driven narrative

A cinematic spy adventure from the Hitman studio that tells the origin of a young James Bond, blending stealth, gunplay, close combat and chases into a globe-trotting espionage thriller.

Resident Evil Requiem

Strong, story-driven narrative

The ninth mainline Resident Evil switches between vulnerable FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft, whose sections lean on classic survival horror, and the more action-heavy Leon S. Kennedy. Their two storylines weave together into a grim, emotional tale.

Alekhine's Gun

Challenging difficulty

A Cold War stealth action game where you play an agent uncovering conspiracies, betrayal and nuclear threats. It follows the Death to Spies series and favors careful sneaking and disguises over open firefights.

Hitman: Blood Money

Tactical depth

As Agent 47 you plan creative assassinations in open sandbox levels, using disguises, staged accidents and dark humor. Clean, silent work pays off, while sloppy kills raise your notoriety and make later contracts harder.

Hitman: Contracts

Challenging difficulty

A feverish Agent 47 relives past hits across grim, rain-soaked levels where disguises, patience and creative kills beat brute force. Its oppressive atmosphere and Jesper Kyd score make it the bleakest entry in the series.

Mafia: The Old Country

Strong, story-driven narrative

The Last of Us

Dark, serious atmosphere

Joel and Ellie cross a fungus-ravaged America in a tense survival adventure of scarce resources, brutal stealth-shooter encounters, and one of gaming's most affecting, character-driven stories.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell

Tactical depth

As NSA operative Sam Fisher you creep through shadows, using night vision and gadgets to stay unseen across tense, linear and demanding missions. A landmark of the stealth genre with a groundbreaking light-and-shadow system.

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

Lavish presentation

Kojima's landmark stealth thriller moves espionage to an offshore facility, pairing smart enemy AI, gadgets and bizarre bosses with a twisting, meta-fictional story about information control. It deliberately subverts player expectations and was far ahead of its time.
