A selection for those who prefer stealth and silence to explosive action.
1. Dishonored and Dishonored 2
Platforms: PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4.
The Dishonored series seems to be the best in single player games. The variability of the passage from Deus Ex, the complex stealth system and the depth of the first Thiefs, the atmosphere of dystopia and despair from Half-Life 2.
The plot in the games of the franchise is not the most sophisticated. The empress's bodyguard avenges her death, and then avenges the daughter turned to stone (or she for him). But structural simplicity has allowed developers to fill the game world with hundreds of details, each telling its own little story. Therefore, do not forget to read the notes found and eavesdrop on conversations while hiding from enemies.

2. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Platforms: PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4.
The final part of the legendary Metal Gear Solid series lacks several missions and a whole story chapter. But this does not interfere with the enjoyment of the game: its gameplay is so good.
In MGS V, there are several styles of passing, but the most interesting thing is to act stealthily. Attack bases under cover of night, one by one, lull enemies to sleep with tranquilizers and put them in dry closets so that others do not see and raise the alarm. Or you can first arrange a sabotage - blow up something at one end of the base, and enter from the other. Thanks to the abundance of weapons, gadgets and mechanic available to the player, the number of ways to go is almost endless.

3. Hitman and Hitman 2
Platforms: PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4.
Games about Agent 47 are representatives of a rare subgenre of "social stealth". The hero here prefers to hide not under the ceiling or behind some boxes, but right in the middle of the crowd.
Everything is decided by his clothes: having found the right suit (or removing it from an unlucky enemy), you can outwit the guards and get anywhere. And there it is already a stone's throw to the goal. Sometimes a screwdriver can also help - as luck would have it.

4. Alien: Isolation
Platforms: PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4.
Good Alien games are rare, but Isolation is just that. In a way, this is a return to basics. The main character explores the space station and at the same time tries not to get caught by a huge alien - just like in the first film of the franchise.
The game has earned high marks from critics and users thanks to its thoughtful gameplay and a constant sense of tension. An alien can overtake at any time - even during the process of saving on a special terminal, so you cannot relax. You have to hide in cabinets and ventilation shafts and occasionally scare off the xenomorph with a flamethrower.

5. Mark of the Ninja
Platforms: PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4.
Mark of the Ninja is a 2D platformer with a strong focus on stealth. Each level here is a puzzle. The main character cannot attack openly, otherwise he will be quickly killed. You need to act carefully, choose the right targets and not get caught in the eyes of enemies.
The game has excellent level design, which, coupled with the many available gadgets, allows you to complete each task in several ways.

6. Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Platforms: PC.
The latest project in the Splinter Cell series turned out to be, perhaps, one of the most successful. If in the previous game - Conviction - the developers focused on action, then in Blacklist the passing styles are more balanced. Completing tasks in secret is the hardest and most interesting thing.
In the story, Sam Fisher and his team are trying to confront a terrorist cell. He needs to travel all over the world to prevent disasters. The hero can take devices such as quadcopters, grenades and sticky cameras on missions. The choice of gadgets is determined by the preferred passing style. Frag grenades are useful for those who want to act in the open, and cameras that release sleep gas - for stealth lovers.

7. Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Platforms: PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4.
Human Revolution and Mankind Divided were not developed by the same studio that made the first parts, but they still remained true to the principles of the franchise. You can go through missions as you like, but most of the opportunities are created for stealth.
Depending on the skills pumped (high jumps, lifting heavy objects, invisibility, and so on), the player opens up different paths. The main thing is to find these passages in locations. The feeling when once again you manage to remain unnoticed thanks to your own observation and tactical thinking cannot be compared with anything.
