  • Sneaking and hiding
  • Lots of humour
  • Strong, story-driven narrative

A stealth puzzler where you play a spy who rewires buildings with the Crosslink to outwit guards. A short, wry noir story with dry humor ties the heists together.

Quadrilateral Cowboy

Pure single-player experience

You plan and execute heists as a hacker in a retro cyberpunk world, typing commands on a chunky in-game laptop and using gadgets to outwit security systems. Its quirky low-poly style and hands-on, tactile interface make it stand out.

Budget Cuts

Lots of humour

A VR stealth game set in a satirical corporate office where you use a teleport gun to slip past robotic guards and explore levels. Its dark workplace humor and hands-on VR interaction set it apart.

Metal Gear Solid

Strong, story-driven narrative

Kojima's stealth classic sends Solid Snake to infiltrate a snowy nuclear weapons facility, rewarding sneaking over shooting. Its cinematic storytelling, codec conversations, memorable bosses like Psycho Mantis and fourth-wall-breaking tricks made it a genre-defining landmark.

Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty

Lots of humour

A remake of the classic Abe's Oddysee in which you play Abe, an enslaved Mudokon sneaking and puzzling through a sinister meat factory, rescuing fellow workers via the GameSpeak system. Dark humor and a quirky world define the precise 2.5D platforming.

Acid Spy

Action-packed real-time combat

You sneak through heavily guarded cyberpunk bases in first person, taking enemies out quickly and quietly. A small indie title focused on stealth action and precise, deadly infiltration.

Crusader: No Regret

Dark, serious atmosphere

A 1996 isometric sci-fi shooter in which you play the Silencer, blasting through heavily guarded bases with big weapons and destructible environments while fighting a tyrannical corporation. Traps, tricky jumping sections and live-action cutscenes make it unforgiving yet gloriously explosive.

The Operative: No One Lives Forever

Lots of humour

A witty first-person shooter inspired by 1960s spy films: as agent Cate Archer you sneak and shoot your way through over-the-top missions with clever gadgets. Sharp writing, a great soundtrack and eccentric villains give it its charm.

The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay

Dark, serious atmosphere

An atmospheric first-person shooter blending stealth, brutal melee and gunplay as Riddick breaks out of the maximum-security prison Butcher Bay. Strong storytelling, cinematic presentation and a grim sci-fi setting set it apart.
