There are many fantasies that video games help achieve, whether it’s embarking on a grand adventure, traveling to space or taking over the world. One understated yet popular fantasy is spy fiction, whether you play stealth titles that cater to the sneaking and infiltration aspect or puzzle games that require more thinking and observation. Let’s look at 15 of the best spy and espionage titles here.

Invisible, Inc.

Invisible, Inc. is a turn-based tactics game where two agents are selected to complete increasingly challenging espionage missions. You have three days to find out what led to your organization being compromised, find the enemy headquarters and insert the AI Incognita into their systems to ensure her survival. With various missions providing different intel and resources, it’s a tense and thrilling race against the clock to find out the truth.

A lot goes into designing a stealth game, whether it’s crafting realistic enemy AI or missions that facilitate different degrees of sneakiness. Nevertheless, the genre scratches a different itch, as defying the odds through craftiness and minimal violence can feel incredibly rewarding. Let’s look at 15 of the best stealth titles of all time.

Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut

Ghost of Tsushima is many things. A great action-adventure title with stellar sword combat. A well-told story with strong characterization and memorable events. And to top it all off, the stealth is incredibly on point, whether assassinating enemies from above, poisoning them from afar, or using smoke bombs to slit their throats at close range. While stealth helps trivialize the game as one gets further in, it helps reinforce the legend of Jin as the Ghost, becoming a fiercer foe as his skills improve.

15 Best Stealth Games You Need To Play (2021 Edition)

Back in the day, stealth games weren’t expected to be very successful. After all, who wants to play an action game where not killing foes is an optimal way to play? However, throughout the decades, the genre has evolved in numerous ways, providing countless enjoyable experiences. Let’s take a look at 15 of the best stealth games of all time, thus far, and what makes them such classics.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

The Metal Gear Solid franchise had always been known for its cinematic story-telling and excellent stealth mechanics. But Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater took things in a somewhat different direction, removing the series’ signature radar and emphasizing the environment as one’s greatest tool. Camouflage, CQC mechanics and even some light survival mechanics also added to the feeling of being behind enemy lines while delivering the signature characterization and complex plot that fans loved.

15 Games In Which You Can Hack Whatever You Want

Sure, it’s a lot of fun blowing a bad guy’s head off with a close range shot from your double barrel shotgun, and yes, slicing up your enemies with slick and vicious swipes of your blade can never really get old. But this feature isn’t about those things- because sometimes in games you want to do things from the shadows, without ever really moving much more than your fingers, by diving deep into the invisible digital walls that surrounding everything and altering their structure to open completely new paths. In this feature, we’re going to take a look at fifteen games that let you do just that, and provide the player with some really enjoyable hacking mechanics.

WATCH DOGS

Of course, we’re starting with the most obvious (and by obvious, I mean publicized) choice. Watch Dogs is a game that is all about hacking. Hacking is your primary tool, and though you drive cars and shoot bad guys, hacking is ultimately what most stuff in the game centres around. From hacking into phones to extract private information on people of interest to hacking into traffic signals to turn the tide of car chases in your favour, Watch Dogs lets you do all that. It’s true that those mechanics aren’t nearly at the level that much of the game’s pre-release hype implied they would be, but all said and done, they’re still pretty solid.

13 Games With Multiple Solutions for Puzzles

How many times have you encountered puzzles in video games and scoffed at how simple the solution is? You should probably take a closer look – sometimes the same puzzle can be completed in multiple different ways (or it’s actually just a really bad puzzle, that’s also possible). Here are a few games which revel in multiple solutions for their puzzles, challenging the player to either scoot by, completely exploit every single mechanic or recoil in horror at the randomness.

SpaceChem

SpaceChem is an intriguing and wickedly clever title that challenges you to create different designs for effectively converting raw materials to chemicals. It sounds straightforward but the actual process is full of potential since you can determine how different outputs are constructed, what the best ways to streamline production can be and everything else in between. It’s fairly complex and not the easiest to dive into for beginners but that moment where everything just clicks together for your own personal “Eureka!” moment is fantastic.

Heat Signature, The Quirky Space Rogue-Lite From Gunpoint Dev, Out on September 21st

Ravi Sinha — Wed, 13 Sep 2017 05:58:34 +0000

Ever wondered what Suspicious Developments, the studio behind Gunpoint, has been up in the last few years? It’s been working on a rogue-like title with space elements and murder called Heat Signature that’s out on September 21st. Check out the trailer below to see it in action.

Heat Signature seems fairly straightforward – you can choose from several randomly generated characters, each with their own unique end mission to battle towards. Your mission is usually to break into a spaceship, complete your mission – which involves stealing something, rescuing someone, capturing or even killing a target – and escape.

The emergent gameplay with various gadgets and randomly generated missions pushes players to think of creative ways to complete the objective while escaping. For instance, you can trigger an explosion to break the glass windows, shoot into space and guide your ship to pick you up. Let’s not forget the “lovely spacey music” the game also boasts.

To learn more about Heat Signature, head over to the official Steam listing for more information.

Gunpoint – walkthrough trailer

Kartik Mudgal — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 06:59:39 +0000

Gunpoint is a 2D side scrolling game which is not action oriented at all. Instead, you use stealth and hacking to accomplish your objectives. Right now, the game will be released for free on the PC, but the developer, Pentadact is contemplating whether to charge for the game or not.

Statement accompanying the video:

It’s been eight months since the first Gunpoint video, and it looks rather different now, so I’ve made a new trailer. In it, I talk you through the basics and then some of the most complicated solutions I’ve come up with to the levels, just to give you an idea of the stupid stuff you can do when you mess around with Crosslinking.

Something I forgot to mention in the blurb at the end: if you write about games and want to write about Gunpoint, mail me at pentadact@gmail.com and I can send you a playable build next time I have one ready for previewing. It should be pretty soon now.
