Hitman 2: Silent Assassin

Sneaking and hiding

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.

Hitman: Contracts

Pure single-player experience

Sci-fi setting

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.

I.G.I.-2: Covert Strike

Sneaking and hiding

Espire 1: VR Operative

Sci-fi setting

A VR stealth shooter where you play an operative who sneaks past or takes down robot guards, either quietly or in open firefights. Its blend of sneaking and shooting in immersive VR recalls Metal Gear Solid and GoldenEye.
