Thief

Sneaking and hiding

As master thief Garrett, you sneak through a grim, plague-ridden city in first person, looting mansions from the shadows rather than fighting openly. The reboot of the classic series leans on moody atmosphere and multiple routes through its missions, though it feels more linear than its predecessors.

Dishonored: Definitive Edition

Sneaking and hiding

As the assassin Corvo you sneak or fight your way through the plague-ridden, steampunk city of Dunwall, using supernatural powers like blinking across rooftops. Every mission can be solved quietly or violently, shaping the world and ending; this edition bundles all the DLC.

Hitman 2: Silent Assassin

Tactical depth

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.

Dishonored 2

Sneaking and hiding

A first-person immersive sim where you play Emily or Corvo, using supernatural powers to sneak or fight through intricately layered levels. Standout missions like the Clockwork Mansion and a chaos system that reacts to your playstyle make every approach feel meaningful.
