As master thief Garrett, you sneak through a grim, plague-ridden city in first person, looting mansions from the shadows rather than fighting openly.

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.

Dishonored 2

Sneaking and hiding

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.

Dishonored: Definitive Edition

Sneaking and hiding

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.

Gloomwood

Sneaking and hiding

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.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

Lavish presentation

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.

Hitman: Contracts

Dark, serious atmosphere

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.

The Evil Within 2

Dark, serious atmosphere

Survival horror in which Sebastian Castellanos dives into the surreal STEM world to rescue his daughter. Semi-open town hubs, scarce resources and the freedom to sneak or fight create constant tension.
