Thief: Deadly Shadows

Dense, handcrafted world

As master thief Garrett you creep through a gloomy, steampunk-tinged city, using light and shadow to slip past guards. Dense atmosphere, free-roaming city hubs and a conspiracy among the Keepers define the experience.

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

Tactical depth

Kojima's landmark stealth thriller moves espionage to an offshore facility, pairing smart enemy AI, gadgets and bizarre bosses with a twisting, meta-fictional story about information control. It deliberately subverts player expectations and was far ahead of its time.

Thief

Dense, handcrafted world

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.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

Dense, handcrafted world

Lara Croft explores dense jungles and lost Maya cities across Peru and Mexico, solving elaborate tomb puzzles and stalking enemies from the undergrowth. The darkest chapter of the reboot trilogy stands out for its lavish visuals and its best-in-series challenge tombs.

Manhunt

Dark, serious atmosphere

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.
