Sid Meier's Covert Action

Realistic visuals

As super-spy Max Remington you chase terrorists and crime syndicates around the globe, gathering clues, tailing suspects and cracking codes and locks in short action and puzzle sequences. Its blend of investigation, stealth and minigames was quite unusual for 1990.

Sir, You Are Being Hunted

Gameplay comes before story

A procedurally generated survival game set on a British island where tweed-clad robot gentlemen hunt you. You sneak, scavenge supplies and fight back with makeshift weapons, all wrapped in dry British humor.

Neighbours from Hell

Sneaking and hiding

A gleefully mischievous puzzle-stealth game where you sneak around your grumpy neighbour's house rigging pranks for a TV show while dodging his patrols. Clever item combos and good timing set off slapstick chain reactions.

TheHunter: Call of the Wild

Realistic visuals

A patient, realistic hunting sim set in vast, gorgeous wilderness reserves where tracking, stalking and understanding animal behavior are what count. It is more meditative than action-packed, whether you hunt solo or with friends.

Heat Signature

Sneaking and hiding

You dock a tiny pod onto enemy spaceships and infiltrate them with improvised plans to take out guards, steal loot, or hijack the whole vessel. It thrives on pausable top-down tactics and chaotic, emergent stories.

Picklock

Sneaking and hiding

A small indie stealth game where you play the master thief Picklock, planning and carrying out burglaries in a quiet green town to earn a seaside vacation.

Thief

Loot and gear

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.
