SHIP STEALTH- ASSASSIN’S CREED IV: BLACK FLAG
For a series that started out as (primarily) a stealth game, Assassin’s Creed has had a troubled history with forced stealth sections- but hardly any of them compare to the one we’re speaking of here. The best parts of Black Flag were, of course, its naval sections, but one particular section that forces you into stealth while you piloted a ship is just ridiculous on so many levels.
