Stealth Games

Stealth games are a genre of video games that emphasize stealth and avoidance of detection as primary gameplay mechanics. Players typically assume the role of a character who must navigate environments while remaining undetected by enemies or security systems. These games often require strategic thinking, careful planning, and patience, as players utilize various methods such as sneaking, hiding, and distracting opponents to achieve their objectives.

Key elements include the use of shadows, cover, and sound management, allowing for a more immersive and tactical experience. Stealth games may feature a range of objectives, from infiltration and espionage to escaping from enemies or completing missions without alerting guards. Popular examples of stealth games include franchises like “Metal Gear Solid,” “Assassin’s Creed,” and “Splinter Cell.” The focus on stealth often distinguishes these games from action-oriented titles, where combat and confrontation are the primary means of progression.
