Mark of the Ninja

Distinctive, stylised art style

A brilliant 2D stealth platformer that visualizes sight, sound and light so clearly that every infiltration becomes a precise puzzle of timing and planning. Klei's hand-drawn art and multiple approaches, lethal or pacifist, make it a genre classic.

Stealth Inc 2: A Game of Clones

Challenging difficulty

As a clone escaping a high-tech testing facility, you tackle over 60 tricky stealth-platforming puzzle levels. Dying is part of the learning process, and the levels are linked in a connected Metroidvania-style overworld.

Mr. Sun's Hatbox

Runs that play out differently every time

A slapstick roguelite platformer where you upgrade your HQ, team and gear to tackle ever more ridiculous missions in the hunt for as many hats as possible.

Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus

Challenging difficulty

A quirky puzzle-platformer where Abe sneaks, possesses enemies and uses GameSpeak to rescue enslaved Mudokons. Dark humor and an odd industrial dystopia meet unforgiving, trial-and-error puzzles.

Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty

Distinctive, stylised art style

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.

Master Spy

Challenging difficulty

A punishing precision platformer with a spy theme, where you slip past guards, lasers and traps using a cloak and careful timing. Short, demanding levels and an RAC soundtrack give it plenty of retro flair.

ScourgeBringer

Runs that play out differently every time

A blisteringly fast roguelite action platformer where Kyhra chains sword combos, dashes and gunfire through procedurally built machine ruins. Fluid movement and demanding combat are the heart of the game.

Yars Rising

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A 2D Metroidvania from WayForward where young hacker Emi Kimura infiltrates a shady corporation and revisits old areas with new abilities. Platforming action, sneaking and hacking drive a conspiracy mystery that reimagines the classic Yars arcade brand.

Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus

Distinctive, stylised art style

A charming cel-shaded stealth platformer where you play Sly, a master thief raccoon, sneaking across rooftops, outwitting guards and reclaiming your family's legacy. Funny, varied and easy to pick up.
