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.

Hitman: Absolution

Lavish presentation

Hunted by his own agency, Agent 47 sneaks through tightly built, detailed levels where disguises, Instinct and creative kills beat open gunfights. Absolution leans harder than earlier entries into a cinematic, gritty revenge story.

Hitman 2: Silent Assassin

Lots to discover

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.

Gloomwood

Lots to discover

Gloomwood is a stealth survival horror set in a cursed Victorian city, drawing on immersive sims and classics like Thief and Resident Evil. You sneak, scrounge scarce resources and use eccentric weapons while exploring a dark, secret-filled world.

Dishonored: Definitive Edition

Lavish presentation

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.

Dishonored 2

Lavish presentation

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.

Manhunt

Pure single-player experience

Rockstar's notoriously brutal stealth thriller casts you as a death-row convict forced to star in a snuff film, stalking gangs through a decaying city. Lurking in shadows and executing hunters creates a grim, deeply unsettling atmosphere.

Hitman: Contracts

Lots to discover

A feverish Agent 47 relives past hits across grim, rain-soaked levels where disguises, patience and creative kills beat brute force. Its oppressive atmosphere and Jesper Kyd score make it the bleakest entry in the series.
