Mark of the Ninja

Sneaking and hiding

A brilliant 2D stealth platformer that visualizes sight, sound and light so clearly that every infiltration becomes a precise puzzle of timing and planning. Klei's hand-drawn art and multiple approaches, lethal or pacifist, make it a genre classic.

Little Nightmares II

Sneaking and hiding

A creepy puzzle-platformer where little Mono and his companion Six sneak through a grotesque, dollhouse-like nightmare world. It tells its story without words and builds tension through tense chase sequences and environmental puzzles.

Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty

Sneaking and hiding

A remake of the classic Abe's Oddysee in which you play Abe, an enslaved Mudokon sneaking and puzzling through a sinister meat factory, rescuing fellow workers via the GameSpeak system. Dark humor and a quirky world define the precise 2.5D platforming.

Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia

Distinctive, stylised art style

A 2.5D stealth platformer in which you play Russian assassin Nikolai Orelov in 1918, in the wake of the October Revolution, sneaking through a bold, graphically stripped-down world. Instead of an open world you get linear levels built around hiding, distracting and silent takedowns.

Oddworld: Soulstorm

Sneaking and hiding

As the reluctant hero Abe, you lead a Mudokon uprising through a dark yet quirky platformer of sneaking, puzzling and rescuing. Its blend of stealth, mass rescues and black humor sets it apart.

Little Nightmares

Lavish presentation

As tiny Six you sneak through the Maw, a nightmarish vessel full of grotesque giants, solving environmental puzzles while evading capture. Its dollhouse-like, unsettling art style and wordless storytelling make this short adventure unforgettable.

Black the Fall

Sneaking and hiding

A dark, near-monochrome puzzle platformer that turns life under totalitarian rule behind the Iron Curtain into a dystopian industrial world. Stealth, puzzles and escapes from guards and machines build an oppressive atmosphere.
