Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six

Sneaking and hiding

A genre-defining tactical shooter built around meticulous mission planning: you assemble squads, plot routes and actions, then carry out counter-terror raids where a single hit can be fatal.

SWAT 4

Sneaking and hiding

A tactical first-person shooter where you lead a SWAT team through raids and aim to arrest suspects non-lethally. Strict rules of engagement, squad commands and careful planning matter more than raw shooting skill.

Hitman: Codename 47

Sneaking and hiding

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.

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.

Police Stories

Sneaking and hiding

A pixel-art top-down shooter where you play a police officer clearing buildings, rescuing hostages and arresting suspects. Careful room breaching and restraint are rewarded, while a single mistake is punished quickly.

SWAT 3: Close Quarters Battle

Tactical depth

A tactical first-person shooter where you lead a LAPD SWAT team, issuing orders while clearing buildings and resolving hostage situations. Careful planning and restraint matter more than fast shooting.

Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines

Sneaking and hiding

A brutally hard real-time tactics game set in WWII, where you guide a squad of specialised commandos through enemy-held territory. Every mission plays like a stealth puzzle of vision cones, patrol routes and precise timing.

Hidden & Dangerous

Sneaking and hiding

A tactical World War 2 shooter where you lead a four-man Allied commando team through risky sabotage and rescue missions. You switch between soldiers and can drive vehicles, and the high difficulty rewards careful planning.
