Anyone else really missing stealth games?

MGS, Splinter Cell, Watch Dogs….all memories now.

I want to sneak into CIA HQ or a military base!!

Splinter Cell is sorely missed, any recent games that could scratch this itch?

 

[Digital-Aftertaste]

Its hiding... somewhere. Honestly the real tragedy with what is happening over at Ubisoft is the fact that it's messing with the development of the splinter cell remake they are working on. The wanted to bring back the old games.

 

[KyoZz]

Dishonored 1 & 2. Both top tier in the genre.

I really want Dishonored 3.

 

[pqueue]

it is right there in front of you.

but it is moving so slowly you cannot see it.

 

[Labadal]

The latest stealth game to come out was the below one. The genre isn't a big selling one in general. You'll have to look out for indie games, or AA games at best.

 

[SJRB]

Indies coming in clutch.

SeverLink (low-poly Splinter Cell) and Devoid (retro Dishonored) first come to mind.

Also don't sleep on Intravenous 2, at first glance it seems like a Hotline Miami style game but it goes heavy on the stealth and you can stealth your way through every level. Awesome game.

Also throwing in a curveball because why not: Thief Simulator. Surprisingly fun albeit janky as fuck.

 

[TintoConCasera]

If nothing's coming out then why not play the classics? Thief is pretty good and it has a ton of community made missions.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Believe it or not, Arc raiders.

 

[Hudo]

If you haven't played Thief 1 and Thief 2, you should. It's where stealth peaked (get the GoG versions and get TFix and T2Fix)

 

[Futaleufu]

People piling on the latest Thief, thinking that shitting on it would make AAA developers focus on making purer stealth games when on the contrary it meant the death of the AAA stealth genre.

 

[LectureMaster]

This hidden gem is pretty cool

 

[amigastar]

Thief VR is out and got respectable reviews.

as with their genre, they are kind of hiding in stealth mode right now, a.k.a. nowhere to be seen...
and the bad is, i'm also craving with that genre, i'm barely finished sekiro, i think i will play tenchu or rise of ronin soon

 

[realcool]

I defeat a syndicate in Hitman Freelancer almost every day. It simultaneously scratches both the stealth and puzzle itch.

 

[Come On Tars]

Hitman will keep you busy forever

Bro knows ball.
The Styx series is a superb stealth experience.

 

[Sybrix]

Believe it or not, Arc raiders.

Yeah, I've played a few games with silencers and crept around, was a lot of fun

 

[Hadoukens]

Intravenous 2?

Gloomwood?

This post is for the OP:

Styx 1 has frustrating and inconsistent AI.
Styx 2 however is a good game that ends too soon.

I have not played Styx 3 yet.

I would recommend Styx 1 only for it's story, as it was a much stronger story than part 2.

 

[Metnut]

KCD2 is the most fun I've had with stealth in at least half a decade

 

[Hadoukens]

Hitman will keep you busy forever

And for extra challenge, Silent Assassin Suit Only an entire Freelancer Syndicate, 18 missions.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I got this in some bundle and it is really, really good. Sequel coming soon too.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Modern audience really lacks the attention cycle for stealth games. STYX level projects is where its at.

 

[MagiusNecros]

 

[John Bilbo]

There was a couple of games coming out resembling Metal Gear Solid.

 

[Plague Doctor]

Ubisoft decided that making open world kinda sorta rpgs with enemies with a large health bar was more important.

Arkane Studios made Redfall... why? I don't know. I sometimes can't believe Arkane made a game that bad.
