4 of the top stealth games on the PlayStation 4
There are two types of fighters in this world: the type that yells and makes a whole show of attacking enemies and the type that uses stealth to tactfully overcome their oppressors. If you fall into the latter category, then you’ve got to add a few amazing stealth games to your collection to fully develop this skill.
Pinpointing the perfect game can be challenging, especially with so many games available in the market these days. Before you start hunting and going through every option on the internet, check out these four top stealth games that you’re bound to like.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Definitive Experience
Metal Gear Solid V: The Definitive Experience includes all three chapters within the MGS universe – MGSV: The Phantom Pain, MGSV: Ground Zero and even MGSV Online. Say goodbye to the mere possibility of FOMO by bringing home the entire collection and enjoying every facet of this tactical game. Guide your character through a photo-realistic world filled with endless ways to infiltrate the enemy’s outpost. What’s great about this game is that you can choose between a single-player adventure and multi-player squad-based gameplay (when you pick MSGV: Online, that is), making this collection ideal for all Metal Gear fans. You’ll also find up to 36 DLC items along with engaging content in the form of extra missions, customisation, and even a larger horde of weapons.
Alien: Isolation
If you love the horror genre and would love to immerse yourself in an environment that fills you with a sense of dread, then Alien: Isolation is a great stealth game for you to try. Based on the acclaimed Alien movie franchise, the game is set 15 years after the events of the movie and follows Amanda Ripley, Ellen Ripley’s daughter, as she struggles to survive in a scary world where danger lurks at every corner. To succeed in your mission to find out what happened to your mother, you must continually scavenge items to create weapons, use your wits to improvise solutions and avoid detection by the titular Alien.
Hitman 2
Hitman 2 is an action-filled spy thriller that follows the story of Agent 47, the most creative and deadly assassin in this world. Hitman 2 is more than just a shooter game, with each sandbox location filled with its own set of challenges that you must navigate through to plan and carry out the perfect assassination.
This version of the game offers new challenges along with play modes and progresses the story forward as Agent 47 discovers the identity of the Shadow Client and realises that everything he thought he knew was just a lie.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Join Lara Croft in the final chapter of her origin story, and watch her transform into the ‘Tomb Raider’, the person she was always meant to be. Shadow of the Tomb Raider combines all the DLC challenge tombs you’ve seen in the past, along with new downloadable weapons, greater skills, and cooler outfits. The premise of the game has Lara struggling to save the world from an eminent Mayan Apocalypse as she races through dense forests, navigates her way through ancient tombs, and overcomes enemies, growing as a person all the way. This intense game makes you redefine the importance of stealth as you hide in the shadows and plan attacks to instil fear in the heart of your enemies.
