I think the Hitman series is a great example of a stealth game where blending in is the main approach rather than hiding

[@leoultimaupgraded9914]

that one is especially very creative, in how you can take out your targets without getting caught

[@Freelancer837]

It's social stealth

[@noahsan92]

some people say stealth is boring cause it's usually a lot of waiting and it's very slow at times, but that's personally what i love about it. as someone with ADHD, i like that stealth games basically FORCE ME to balance aggressive with patience. you need to make a move at the correct time, but once you do initiate a move you have to commit and be fast that said, i love Dishonored with all my heart and the entire point of that game is to bypass the waiting in stealth. the enemy won't go away? teleport past him, pause time, possess him to walk in front of all his friends and the throw a grenade at the entire group

[@mothersbasement]

The fact that you don’t mention Styx: Master of Shadows or Styx: Shards of Darkness makes me think you haven’t played those games and all the stuff you do mention makes me think you’d like them, like, a lot. Basically they’re as close to new thief games as we’re ever likely to get, but with an added layer of verticality that really complicates the level design (in a good way).

[@bizlychannelYT]

Imma check those out for sure

[@transmaddie]

I think in terms of stealth game vs. stealth section I think a really obvious and easy way to add good optional stealth to games is to have the base mechanics available for stealth, and then give the player the option to either like, brute force through a smaller barracks to set up and be more powerful for confronting villain HQ or spend the resources they already have on stealth gadgets instead of weapons so they can skip straight to the main event and sneak past all the danger

[@ankh_k]

You didn't mention 1998 game Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines, which laid the foundation of it's own genre of Commandos-like RTS stealth games (Commandos and Desperados series, Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun game). It had 2 level vision cones, one for standing position and one for crouching position. It had decoys. It had hiding the bodies mechanic. It had elememts of social stealth with the spy character. On the missions with snow or sand enemies could notice your tracks and follow them.

EVERYONE SHOULD PLAY IT!!!

[@martiadan392]

I absolutely loved the way the arkham games handle stealth. While I'm very biased I think they got a lot of things right, like the option for a quick but loud takedown, isolated strikes so that enemies won't get jumpy or just the terror factor changing enemy behaviour. I'm a sucker for stealth so I might try dishonored if it's as good as bibo says.

[@PSYMEDIC]

One of my favorite stealth games of all time will always be MGSV. While story wise it was one of the worst, it's gameplay is just straight up incredible. The amount of tools at your disposal is just mindblowing. Their reactions and behaviour so realistic, the way they cordinate, regroup ect. Not to mention their late game counters and own progression. It feels like they are trying to one up you. It also succeeds in doing something Dishonored fails, convincing me to take the non-lethal approach. Lets be real, the most fun gadgets/powers in stealth games are the lethal ones. So it saddened me that the ending in dishonored is depending on your play style. It feels like a punishment and i don't like that. MGSV however, rewarded you for being a good boy, instead of punishing for being a bad boy. The reason why you don't kill everything in sight in MGSV is because of the motherbase system. You need to "recruit" enemy soldiers in order to progress your motherbase. Which meant you yourself had an actual interest in utilizing a non-lethal takedown method, because if you don't then how are you gonna ged that new cool gadget. While there was also a honor sytem it was not as damning as in Dishonored and was even in late game pretty changable.

[@bizlychannelYT]

While I understand where you’re coming from, the whole idea behind the dishonored morality system is the sacrifice of power in service of the greater good. It fully intends for you to play the game lethal because that is a common tendency of people. Where gameplay is concerned, the high chaos runs are far more enjoyable and that seems to me on purpose. It’s their way of saying “doing wrong is always more fun and easy. Doing the right thing is often much harder and less fun but ultimately leads to a more satisfying end”. MGSV goes hard btw lmao

[@aghmedddd8837]

​@basedlander7836ehh not really MGSV doesn't really punish you for killing people outside of getting lower heroism (the honor system of mgsv) however you can avoid it by just headshoting people and the only real thing that low heroism does is giving you demon snake which just makes snake's horn big and makes him covered in blood 24/7 but it isn't really that big of a deal since demon snake really gives you nothing outside of just soldier reactions and that's it

[@coreycasciano3255]

MGS V is a masterpiece in gameplay, could have been in story too if it was actually finished and Konami didn’t disrespect Kojima

[@VicBoss74]

​@@coreycasciano3255 Nah. Even without Konami the plot was pretty lame. The whole thing about psychological clone of Big Boss or parasites feels like Kojima didn't know what to tell and just started to milking the franchise. Skull Face is pretty bad villain too.

[@CowdaddySilver]

Styx: Shard of Darkness is a pretty great stealth game in my opinion. Little janky, but it’s worth it. Going stealth and not being caught as well as optionally not killing anyone for more points are things that stood out to me for certain

Best stealth game I've ever played is Aragami. You play as a shadow ninja dude who teleports through shadows and gets hurt by light, and you can do cool things like use gadgets, paint shadows on the ground, turn other people into shadows so nobody finds their corpse etc and it's just really damn good. Very similar to Dishonored with it's teleporting and stuff. Anyway I really recommend it. Idk about the sequel Aragami 2, but the first one is awesome.

The one solution to semi-tall grass stealth I know is a small part of MW2's campaign, where you pretty much have to lay on the ground, perfectly still as a group of gaurds walk past, and if you move too much or one walks too close, you get lit up like a christmas tree

Well done, and I look forward to seeing more.

[@SunnySideSpud]

For the most part, I completely agree. Stealth can be so special, or it could be needlessly OP, or it could be just garbage in implementation. It's ultimately all about how it is done. I do want to throw in one more variable that I think can make a more conducive and dynamic experience: Enemy Intelligence. I love in a game when the different NPC builds make an actual difference when stealthing. Dumb Dumb enemies missing what an Brainiac would catch can make such an intriguing game play dynamic. The rock throw may distract the orc, but the elf may notice where it came from instead. Just something I've noticed, but I think it is cool (in theory).
