Little Nightmares 2 was released in , and is a contender for being one of the most memorable games of the year… so far. For those unaware, Little Nightmares has audiences follow the perspective of Six, a young girl trying to survive and escape from the dreadful clutches of The Maw.
This is arguably the series that pioneered and defined the genre. Mixing stealthy camouflage with combat, Metal Gear gave birth to one of the greatest categories in video gaming history. Each entry could be hailed as one of the best stealth games ever, by nothing but their own merit.
Metal Gear V: The Phantom Pain is the title that left the strongest impression, the final masterpiece by renowned director Hideki Kojima. For those searching for the ultimate, immersive stealth experience, then look no further. As an elite covert operative known as a Phantom, players work hard to prevent an all-out war in just one night. Especially since this game runs on Oculus, be prepared to actually become a Phantom, since the ratio completely melding your senses in tune with the game.
Its gameplay elements are also slightly reminiscent of Splinter Cell , which makes it all the better. The original Prop Hunt was a multiplayer game that became all the rage back in , when it was initially released.
Prop Hunt is essentially a virtual hide-and-seek game, where the players are split up into two teams; the props, or the hunters. The props have the ability to hide in any object within the map, though its size are determined by your health levels.
Meanwhile, as their name suggests, the hunters seek out the props and eliminate them. Whilst some may call it a rip-off, many would agree that the series that defined itself. After all, it did spawn its own Netflix series. Similar to Metal Gear, the game puts heavy emphasis on military tactics and stealth kills. But nothing beats the original. In hindsight, it's easy to see how many of the games on our list made waves as the first experiments with gameplay mechanics that are now commonplace.
But Dishonored proved that even in today's crowded industry, with so much of game development a paint-by-numbers proposition, a team can always do it better. And in the case of Arkane Studios , they can still surprise. Dropping players into the role of Corvo, a royal bodyguard in the Victorian-style setting of Dunwall, players were treated to an open world and a wealth of supernatural powers with which to explore it.
Following so closely in the path of Thief and Deus Ex meant the game had detractors, but for stealth fans, Dishonored was the blockbuster RPG they had spent years waiting to see. Fans of the original Thief series from Looking Glass Studios met the proposed reboot with serious skepticism, and with good reason ; the use of light and sound to remain concealed, the complex AI routines and emergent events that became trademarks of the brand weren't designed to mimic successful franchises, but create a brand new one.
Playing as the titular thief, Garrett, players used their HUD's 'light gem' to determine not whether they were hidden from sight, but how hidden, and had to navigate spaces through not just shadows, but across quiet surfaces to avoid detection. As one of the greatest influences on most of the games on our list, the original Thief stands the test of time.
Even if the graphics have aged, the genius of the gameplay hasn't faded one bit. There are certainly plenty of stealth-oriented games to love, and even more major titles that try to incorporate specific elements of stealth into larger experiences. Few areas of the Assassin's Creed series are more criticized than its stealth systems, but the fact that the developers continue to pursue a stealth mechanic in a runaway action series makes it clear: the genre offers something that no other can.
These games just happen to do it effortlessly, in our experience. But be sure to mention your own favorites in the comments. With a plethora of Star Wars games on the horizon, fans should be mindful of how much they expect from each game this year.
Game Rant has been a trusted source in video game news since Goh has the ability to climb on rooftops, crawl through canals and crouch behind walls. Shinobido: Way of the Ninja was praised for its unique story, ragdoll physics and the open-ended system that allows players to choose their style of mission but overall it was considered a game that could have done better in the way of controls and mission variety.
Ninja Pizza Girl An indie game developed by husband and wife, Ninja Pizza Girls tells the story of a youngster who is bullied by other teenagers and delivers pizza in a dystopian city. Gemma, the main character is based on the life stories of the two daughters the developers have. From this touching mix of stories resulted a classic platformer that features parkour movements and old-school action.
For its powerful narrative, comical cutscenes and unique back story, Ninja Pizza Girl is a title that deserves recognition. Ninja Spirit Ninja Spirit is yet another classical title we include in our list. There are seven stages and the player has to kill enemies until he reaches the final boss. The weapon of choice is a katana, called Righteous Cloud, and the game controls will allow you to use it fluidly to attack in all directions. There are also shurikens, bombs and a kusarigama to be used.
Most importantly though, the game is strategic, intense, and exactly how you remember the movie genre. Dead by Daylight captures the nostalgic aesthetic of the slasher films of old. The cast of killers consist of genre stereotypes and cameos from slasher films with unique powers to reflect their history. The fear of being stalked is ever present for the survivors who struggle to hide, survive, and escape. In a totalitarian future one teenage test subject has broken free and contacted you for help to make her escape.
You are tasked with hacking security cameras, doors, and distracting guards while she attempts to make her way out of the facility. As you progress the state of the world unfolds in audio logs and communications from others in the program. Republique is a different take on the stealth genre, with world building and excellent voice acting it creates a new flavor of an immersive experience.
Relive the tense horror of the original Alien film with Alien: Isolation. In her investigation you discover that the facility is being terrorized by a Xenomorph. The game serves to capture the fear of the first movie with the dread that one murderous Xenomorph brings with it. Isolation goes a long way to achieve the feel of the first movie, taking the tone and design decisions from the first film. The layout of the ship and the technology you use are all modeled off of the aesthetic of the film.
Alien: Isolation - The Xenomorph is hunting you and will strike where you least expect it. Set in Nazi occupied France, Irish race car driver Sean Devlin finds himself in an escalating feud with a Nazi driver.
This eventually propels Devlin to become a member of the Resistance, striking back against the Nazi occupation and bringing hope back to the people. The main hook of his game is the use of color. Moving to more heavily Nazi areas the game becomes black and white with national symbolism serving as the only color. Along with gameplay bonuses this effect serves to make the Saboteur a brilliant example in aesthetic.
