In light of last week's Thief release, the Casual Friday gang sits down this week to discuss what they do and don't like about stealth games.
From outer space to stealing in Europe, The Epic Games Store has two free games you might like.
The Thief game series has had many ups-and-downs, and 2014's reboot showed a great deal of promise nearly a decade ago.
This would be such a great franchise to reboot. A darker game than Dishonored, but focused around stealth and large scale heists from an oppressive monarchy.
That's probably my dream game. I love immersive sims and stealth!
People say they hate forced stealth sections in games. But a game focused on stealth with good mechanics and level design feels refreshing from the guns blazing games which I also enjoy. I really enjoyed playing Splinter cell, a game that not many try to mimic today. Not too many games let you shoot lights out, or throw cans or bottles to distract guards. Sure there are games with stealth options like the new Wolfenstein but it doesn't feel necessary to play it that way. Hitman might be the only game that has that feeling, except for that Korean game that may or may not ever come out.
The last one was a trainwreck and has been in the bargain bin since just after launch. If they bring it back, they need a massive change in direction.
only direction they should take is putting it in reverse and going back to what the originals did. I couldn't finish this game, and I made a choice to never play it again. I watched a video about the og Thief and Deus Ex games and the current AAA standard will forever hold back these games. These 2 games alone had already solved so many problems with modern gaming that I don't think they'll get a chance at something great unless they're made by a dev that actually give a damn.
Jesus the last installment sells at about 2 euro and even that is over paying for it. Absolutely diabolical game
The online retailer Fanatical has not one but four new game bundles that should interest PC gamers.
I seriously can't stand how incredibly ignorant game journalists are at times. These fellas are a perfect example of why journalists are considered jokes.
solid snake,sam fisher,tenchu ninja's,AC,last of us,dishonor,thief,the OG socom,ghost recon(some parts of the game) yeah stealth games are great.
Stealth is a very tricky genre, that has a very thin line between failure and success. Stealth games must provide a very solid level design to even have a chance of success, but the really great ones draw you into a level of tension that is impossible to explain and is almost magical (for lack of a better word).
Metal Gear Solid is a great example of both and is why it has such a massive highly dedicated fanbase. Even with all it's flaws, it captures the feeling of being tense and powerful all at the same time. The Last Of Us captured that aswell with it's stealth moments, with no listen mode on the harder difficulties of course. It made you feel vulnerable but capable at the same time within top notch level design. Both are some of the best games of last generation, if not thee best.
I love stealth games. Mgs franchise and splinter cell jst 2 mention a few, are awesome. Even syphon filter was great during its time
My favorite is Deus Ex .
SC was very good now it is more action but I have to say the animation in the game is excellent and that make it better than most stealth games .
