A Brief History Of Stealth Games

Alex Writes: For decades, stealth games have been challenging players to overcome obstacles and enemies by simply avoiding them. Instead of firing machines guns, throwing grenades, and punching people in the face, titles such as Hitman, Metal Gear, and Splinter Cell put an emphasis on hiding in the shadows, using disguises, and making as little noise as possible. Oh, and don’t forget those precious cardboard boxes! Though the genre has seen a slight decline in quality over the last few years, recent games like Volume and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain are showing that stealth games still have plenty of life and creativity left in them.
