15 Best Stealth Games of this Generation

The eighth console generation hasn’t been the kindest to the stealth genre. Franchises like Splinter Cell have completely skipped the generation, while others like Metal Gear Solid seemingly had their last hurrah, while all around, there weren’t nearly as many stealth games over the last 6-7 years as there once used to be. But that doesn’t mean there was nothing to enjoy for fans of the genre- though the quantity has definitely been lacking, when it comes to quality, there’s been no issues whatsoever. Some of the best games this entire generation, in fact, have been stealth titles. And as this generation winds down and we enter into the PS5 and Xbox Series X era, in this feature, we’re going to take a look at the best stealth games of the generation, starting with #15 and counting right down to our favourite stealth title of the generation.

#15. ARAGAMI

Fans of Tenchu games, you don’t want to miss this one. Aragami is not flawless, and with a little more polish, it could have been a significantly better game, but when it works, it works very well. It’s a strictly stealth-oriented game through and through, which is something that old school stealth fans will appreciate greatly, and it looks beautiful to boot. Developers Lince Works are currently working on a sequel, and if they can take the first game’s solid foundation and introduce some smart improvements, they might have a real gem on their hands.

15 Best Stealth Games You Need To Play

In case you hadn’t caught on, we really like stealth games here at GamingBolt. It’s a genre that has, through the decades, delivered some of the greatest games of all time, and we often find ourselves thinking about the games that stand head and shoulders even above others in that group. We have talked about what we feel are the greatest stealth games before, but it’s been a while, so we figured it was time to come back with an updated list. And here, that’s what we’ve got- the 15 best stealth games of all time, 2020 edition.

Note that we’ve kept entries in the feature to one game per series, so don’t go expecting seven Metal Gear Solid games (even though that sounds like a pretty great list).

So with all that said, let’s begin.

METAL GEAR SOLID 5

Might as well kick it off with a Metal Gear Solid game, right? And what a game it is. The Phantom Pain certainly has its issues, of that there is little doubt, and these issues do a lot to bring down its overall quality as a finished product, or as a satisfying entry in the series. But purely from a gameplay perspective, viewed purely on the merits of its stealth mechanics, The Phantom Pain is nearly flawless. Making use of a complex web of systems, MGS5 delivers dynamic, reactive, and emergent stealth gameplay the likes of which we haven’t seen in many games. It is, plain and simple, a stealth masterclass.
