Hitman 3
Hitman 3 is a stealth shooter game developed and published by IO Interactive in 2021 for all consoles and PC. There are many improvements to gameplay and graphics. The storyline is not any longer introduced through vague context clues. The casual cutscene, that annoyed so many, stuffed between missions and asking for an impossible bypass, now can be skipped. Front and center is the Agent 47's and his longtime handler Diana Burnwood. Players of previous releases will be very happy to import locations from the past games. Essentially, you have now all 20+ locations from the full trilogy in one game - Hitman 3.
IGN gave the game title a 9/10, writing "Rich, rewarding, and highly replayable, Hitman 3 is a superb instalment of IO's idiosyncratic but much-loved stealth sequence." GamesRadar+ gave the console game title a 4.5/5 stars, praising the "fun and imaginative murders, beautiful levels to explore, and incredible world building" and calling it a "slick and entertaining conclusion to the trilogy". Hitman is a game that worth your time and money and you should not miss on it. Now available for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, but also for PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Assassin's Creed: Valhalla is a stealth video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It introducesa number of features designed to make the console game more accessible to physically impaired gamers, which is great news and an interesting new approach. These include, among other things, audio menu narration, and audio cues for interactive objects and partial/full quest completion, adjustments for quick-time events (QTEs), and the addition of "Guaranteed Assassinate", a feature that permits players to bypass the in-game timing window to successfully dispatch a goal without concern.
While Valhalla is somewhat of a departure from its predecessors, it holds its own as a open-world action adventure, taking the Assassin's Creed formula to the next level. Ubisoft managed to build on their experience with a brilliant sense of humor, aggressive combat, and a protagonist who adds something new to the lineup of sequence assassins. Assassin's Creed Valhalla sees the veteran stealth series yield after taking a year off from its yearly release cycle, but there is not much proof Ubisoft has benefited from the additional development time. Valhalla is by far the most liberal of Assassin's Creed video games. It is no surprise that we found AC Valhalla on the top of the preferences of many players, experienced and newbies alike.
Dishonored 2
Dishonored 2 is an action-adventure stealth video game developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks in 2016. I love this game, because it has well developed characters and it is a pleasure to play it. Despite its age, I think Dishonored 2 still worth to be played in 2021 (even if I wait for a remake, as many valuable games already were upgraded to the new toys). Amazing story, single player experience, trendy abilities, stealth, enjoyable character development, one of the best games from Bethesda Softworks. In comparison with the first game title, it was decided that both Emily Kaldwin and Corvo Attano ought to be voiced in Dishonored 2.
Dishonored 2 is a action-adventure game title with stealth components played by a first-person perspective. After playing Empress Emily Kaldwin throughout the prologue, gamers may opt to play as Emily or as Corvo Attano, the protagonist from Dishonored, the last videogame. Terrific storyline, single player experience, cool abilities, stealth, enjoyable personality growth, every level brings new challenges and differs. The programmers had previously experimented with an voiced player character with all the assassin Daud in two pieces of Dishonored's downloadable content, The Knife of Dunwall along with The Brigmore Witches. If you like fantasy / steampunk aesthetics, Dishonored 2 is the stealth video game you should play.

Ghost of Tsushima
Ghost of Tsushima is a 2020 action-adventure stealth video game by Sucker Punch Productions. It is one of those difficult samurai games that hardcore gamers really enjoy. Consider that itch satisfactorily scratched (so to speak) with Ghost of Tsushima - Sucker Punch's latest release. This is a totally stunning adventure through one of history's most strikingly beautiful landscapes, and that beauty is evidenced by a few of the best blade-to-blade combat methods the open-world activity genre has ever seen. Created by devoted admirers of Japanese samurai cinema at Sucker Punch Productions in Washington, Ghost of Tsushima turns the stereotypical world of Akira Kurosawa films into a huge, absurdly amazing videogame, placed during the Mongol invasion of the island of Tsushima from the 13th century.
And there is your fundamental battle, because the screenwriting gurus would place it: Jin has to defend the people of their island, but he does this at great cost, abandoning tradition, honour, and every thing that accompanies it. It's a bit of a cliché - and - one which happily departs from Sucker Punch's stated aim for validity, once you browse historians' arguments that for most samurai in feudal Japan, there wasn't any such code of honor at all - but foliage of Tsushima is good at carrying one along with all the play. Ghost of Tsushima is one stealth video game that you should play. It is a PlayStation exclusive, this is why it is rather down the top.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Another action-adventure Japanese-style with elements of stealth is Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. We have here another award winning video game, one that works on PS4, Xbox One, and Windows PC (and, of course, on PS5 and Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S). It is placed rather down the list only because it is not a pure stealth game. It will be more appropriate and better suited for an action game. Nevertheless, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a video game where the stealth element is very important. You will not be able to finish the game without engaging enemies - so it is more a combat game, but approaching guards and bosses in a stealth manner will make things easier.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a difficult game to play, it is a Souls-like video game where everything you do should be done perfectly. This game does not tolerate less than perfect. The combat is not that advanced, but considering the strategy part, it is a game for those who like to confront with the best. In Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, the strategy plays a central role and progressing through the game you will learn new ways to kill the enemies. Sekiro draws inspiration from the Tenchu series of stealth-action games that were partially developed and published by FromSoftware. Sword combat in Sekiro is heavily reliant on parrying, in order to knock your enemy off their posture and leaving them open for you to unleash the fatal Shinobi Deathblow. I strongly recommend Sekiro to the real gamers.
