Developer: Rockstar Publisher: Take-Two Platform(s):PC, PS2, PS4, Xbox Once you strip away all of its controversies, what are you left with when it comes to Manhunt? Well, you’re left with a game that’s soviolent that it feels a little satirical of Rockstar’s flagship, but also a very solid game with some surprisingly great stealth gameplay all-rou...
Developer: FromSoftware Publisher: Activision Platform(s):PC, PS4, Xbox One While not necessarily an outright stealth game (hence why it’s so low despite being a phenomenal game), Sekiro’s handling of stealth means that unless you embrace it, you might be in for a bad time. In a game that throws tonnes of enemies at you at once and a giant monkey w...
Developer: Rebellion Publisher: Rebellion Platform(s):PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch There’s a surprising amount of stealth that comes before shooting someone’s testicles all the way off. Sniper Elite 4 doesn’t massivelychange things from the third installment but instead has some welcome QOL improvements, which is why it makes the cut for the best stea...
Developer: Explosive Squat Games Publisher: Explosive Squat Games Platform(s):PC Definitely the smallest game on this list, Intravenous comes from an indie studio that wanted to deliver a hardcore stealth game with some immersive sim elements that really gets your creative murder cogs whirring. Often compared somewhat superficially to Hotline Miami...
Developer: Bithell Games Publisher: Bithell Games Platform(s):PC, PS4, Vita The immediate comparison that springs to mind when you load up Mike Bithell’s Volume is — if you had a good childhood — Metal Gear Solid: Special Missions. It has an aesthetic not a million miles away from Kojima’s weird side-content, though Volume has its fair share of ori...
Developer: Sucker Punch Productions Publisher: SIE Platform(s):PS2, PS3, Vita Does this really belong here? Not really. Is it a pure vanity pick because I remembered it as I was having a shower and its incredible box art? You better believe it. While its status as an out-and-out stealth game can be argued thanks to its emphasis on platforming as we...
Developer: SIE Bend Studio Publisher: SIE Platform(s): PS1er. A PlayStation favourite that came out a time when Solid Snake had only just made his PS1 debut, Syphon Filter never reached the fanfare of Metal Gear Solid, but it certainly had plenty of fans all the same. It had so many fans, in fact, that Syphon Filter was a valuable IP for Sony for t...
Developer: Ultra Ultra Publisher: Ultra Ultra Platform(s):PC, PS4 Probably the least well-known game on this list, Echois an indie with a seriously interesting twist to gameplay; indies are always where you will find the most unique mechanics. You must fight yourself (or many different versions of yourself) as you traverse a constantly twisting and...
Developer: Rocksteady Publisher: WB Games Platform(s):PC, PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Wii U For all his gadgets and bone-breaking, Batman is at his most effective when he’s stalking his foes from the shadows. Arkham City celebrates that by giving The Bat a big ol’ playground full of miscreants to incapacitate but apparently never kill, despite th...
Developer: Klei Entertainment Publisher: Klei Entertainment Platform(s):PC, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Switch From one Klei stealth game to another, Mark of the Ninja represents the absolute best in 2D side-scrolling stealth games. Admittedly, the competition isn’t exactly stacked, though Mark of the Ninja can more than hold its own against the bigge...

- Gunpoint. To us, stealth games are a lot like puzzles. Every move is considered and requires a dollop of thought. No wonder, then, that Gunpoint proves to be so thrilling.
- Mark of the Ninja. Those versatile folks at Klei Entertainment make their second appearance on this list – clearly, they have more than one hidden blade in their sheath.
- Dishonored. Some of the best stealth games can feel turn-based – even those that are not Invisible, Inc. They are the ones that have you marking targets, mapping patrol routes, and mentally solving problems – all before uncloaking and triggering the action when you’re ready.
- Invisible Inc. Remember that trope about some of the best stealth games taking well-established game mechanics and dedicating them all to creating the quintessential sneaking experience?
