Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell

Challenging difficulty

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.

WinBack: Covert Operations

Challenging difficulty

You play covert operative Jean-Luc Cougar, retaking a terrorist-held base and its satellite. Its mission-based design mixes cover-based gunfights, sneaking and gadget use, which gives it a tense, cinematic feel for its era.

Project I.G.I.: I'm Going In

Sneaking and hiding

A tactical first-person shooter from 2000 where you infiltrate large military compounds alone as ex-soldier David Jones. Stealth, realistic weapons and careful planning matter more than run-and-gun play, and it is known for punishing difficulty with sparse checkpoints.

Syphon Filter 3

Sneaking and hiding

The third entry in the third-person action series has you play agent Gabe Logan through linear missions of gunplay and sneaking, unraveling a bioweapon conspiracy told in flashbacks during a Senate hearing.

I.G.I.-2: Covert Strike

Sneaking and hiding

A tactical first-person shooter with stealth elements: as agent David Jones you infiltrate sprawling enemy bases, hack computers and choose between quiet infiltration and open firefights. Missions are tough and the save system is notoriously limited.

Intravenous 2

Challenging difficulty

A top-down tactical stealth shooter where you choose between sneaking through levels quietly or confronting enemies head-on. It emphasizes planning, preparation and a revenge-driven plot.

Hitman: Codename 47

Challenging difficulty

Agent 47's debut: open-ended assassination contracts where disguises, planning and quiet execution matter more than firepower. Harsh, clunky and without mid-mission saves, it's a rough but influential stealth classic.

Hitman 2: Silent Assassin

Challenging difficulty

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.

Syphon Filter 2

Sneaking and hiding

A third-person shooter with stealth elements that continues the conspiracy story of Gabe Logan and Lian Xing, hunted by their own agency. Linear spy missions mix sneaking, a varied arsenal and a split-screen multiplayer mode.
