Hitman: Absolution

Interconnected level design

Hunted by his own agency, Agent 47 sneaks through tightly built, detailed levels where disguises, Instinct and creative kills beat open gunfights. Absolution leans harder than earlier entries into a cinematic, gritty revenge story.

Espire 1: VR Operative

Sci-fi setting

A VR stealth shooter where you play an operative who sneaks past or takes down robot guards, either quietly or in open firefights. Its blend of sneaking and shooting in immersive VR recalls Metal Gear Solid and GoldenEye.

Crysis Remastered

Sci-fi setting

A sci-fi first-person shooter set on a tropical island where a nanosuit lets you cloak, boost strength or armor up and approach firefights your own way. The remaster updates the classic with modern visuals and ray tracing.

Syphon Filter

Strong, story-driven narrative

A classic PlayStation third-person shooter where you play agent Gabe Logan hunting a bioterrorist through linear missions that blend stealth, aiming and a varied weapon arsenal. Its action-thriller spy plot drives the experience.

Project I.G.I.: I'm Going In

Interconnected level design

A tactical first-person shooter from 2000 where you infiltrate large military compounds alone as ex-soldier David Jones. Stealth, realistic weapons and careful planning matter more than run-and-gun play, and it is known for punishing difficulty with sparse checkpoints.

I.G.I.-2: Covert Strike

Action-packed real-time combat

A tactical first-person shooter with stealth elements: as agent David Jones you infiltrate sprawling enemy bases, hack computers and choose between quiet infiltration and open firefights. Missions are tough and the save system is notoriously limited.

Second Sight

Strong, story-driven narrative

A stealth-action thriller in which you play amnesiac John Vattic and use psychic powers to slip through levels. The story alternates between past and present, gradually uncovering his dark history.

Acid Spy

Sci-fi setting

You sneak through heavily guarded cyberpunk bases in first person, taking enemies out quickly and quietly. A small indie title focused on stealth action and precise, deadly infiltration.

Mission: Impossible

Action-packed real-time combat

A third-person spy game based on the 1996 film, mixing stealth, gadgets, disguises and gunplay across missions loosely following the movie plot. The PlayStation port adds voice acting.
