Hot Brass

Tactical depth

A tactical SWAT shooter where every shot is lethal, so careful planning decides success. You clear missions with forethought, arrest criminals and save lives.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hidden & Dangerous 2

Sneaking and hiding

A tactical WWII shooter where you lead a small SAS squad through risky commando missions. Planning, stealth and loadout choices matter, and the difficulty is punishing.

Sniper Elite

Sneaking and hiding

A third-person shooter set in 1945 Berlin where patience, positioning and precise long-range shots matter more than run-and-gun action. As an OSS sniper you work to keep Germany's nuclear research out of Soviet hands.
