Im at a loss as to how the Dishonored series wasnt included. Those games always provide, fascilitate and reward stealth only gameplay. And the stealth gameplay in the series is sublime

Dishonored was a very easy game though, I wouldn't say that it 'tests your skills'. Really really fun though.

dishonored is phenomenal but the game rewards aggression just as much as stealth. it’s also forgives you completely whenever you break stealth and doesn’t really punish you for it
Dishonored, Styx and Thief.
Happy to see Mankind Divided on this list, I absolutely love that game and it’s stealth systems
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory was one of my all time favorite games. So many good memories

No mention of the property that launched the genre at all eh? Thief deserves praise as well. Surprised this was omitted. Though given you guys used Pandora Tomorrow instead of Chaos Theory for Splinter Cell, I guess I shouldn't be surprised you ignored Thief lol
Not played Shadow Gambit yet but the previous games Shadow Tactics and Desperados 3 were sensational
Mark of the Ninja should've been on this list.

Totally agree
No dishonored on this list? Shameful smh
Not having Dishonored or any of the original Thief series on this list is a travesty. Putting Pandora Tomorrow over Chaos Theory also seems kinda odd.
90s and early 2000s. What a time for gaming. All stealth games, that was lots of fun. Cant wait To see when this New mgs 3 is comming. That gonna blow minds, like every metal gear solid game does
Batman Arkham knight is my favorite stealth game , really the only game I find my self no rushing thru and but instead walk around slowing and role play as Batman slipping thru the shadows 😂it really a game way ahead of its time and needs another game
No one mentioned about "No one live forever 2". It was PC Gamer game of the year and my most favorite stealth game.
Why no one is talking about the hitman series it's one of the best stealth game it shows your creativity that how you kill your target.
Metal gear solid 3 and horizon zero dawn are my favorites. Good gameplay, good story, good character development. If you love puzzle and stealth, a plague tale is pretty good one.
Deus Ex is also an incredible Cyberpunk game as well Tenchu 2, original Ghost Recon, MGS -- while old at this point, they are fantastic stealth games
I think people's forget deus ex human revolution
Wow, Tenchu would be nice in this gen. I remember Psp version.
where is Thief 1&2 ?
I miss Metal Gear and Splinter Cell. Definitely my favourite stealth games.

I really enjoy these videos
Stealth games are probably my favourite games with TLOU and Alien Isolation amongst my favourite games ever.
One thing I discovered about myself personally is that Im not really much a fan of stealth games, but I like games with stealth elements, if that makes sense. Like, for me, Ive had more fun in games that have stealth segments, rather than the entire game being centered around stealth. I mean, there are of course exceptions like Mark of the Ninja and Dishonored, but for the most part, games where Ive had fun with stealth it wasnt really that big to the core of the game or enough to put it in the stealth genre. Games like the Batman Arkham series stealth parts I absolutely loved. Also I have fond memories of Slys missions in the Sly series, as well as I miss Assassins Creed Brotherhoods multiplayer because the stealth in that game was super fun and so were the chases, and having to use stealth to both break chase and hide, but use it to sneak up on your target.
Watch Dogs 2 is literally known for having broken stealth that never makes sense. Worst part about it is that whenever you get spotted by an enemy who you then take out without him making a sound, the entire area will then IMMEDIATELY be alerted, even tho no one heard anything.
When you become older you starting to like stealth games than action games.❤
No Dishonored in the list! thats a bummer
No Thief no Dishonored yet some irrelevant games from 90's... I'm flabbergasted

Tenchu - The classic nostalgia 🧡🎮
Dishonored was not mentioned, this video is invalid.
Honorable mentions: Dishonored ghost sniper manhunt assassins creed unity
Skeiro is NOT a spiritual successor to Tenchu, the gameplay is nowhere near the same. If anything, Ghost of Tsushima is the spritual successor to Tenchu, the gameplay is so much closer. You also forgot Manhunt, which is one of the most thrilling and brutal stealth games ever made.

Yup. You nailed it. Well said.
i am still holding out for one day for the return of Starcraft Ghost.
I really do miss Splinter Cell. I really don't know how any list of sneaker games would not include Thief
Having sekiro and watch dogs 2 but not including mark of the ninja, styx, thief, dishonored is really one of the choices ever made. Sekiro has stealth elements but it has barely any mechanic to reinforce this approach if it even is possible in most lvls. Watch dogs 2 is super barebones and shallow compared to the games i mentioned where stealth is the guiding force
really Last Of Us 1 and 2 couldn't think of another game like Assassin's Creed instead or Alpha Protocol etc?
Ok you have missed dishounered series', styx series, blades of shougun series, shadow of war/mordor, thief series, and many more
Hilarious. No dishonored series and MGS V: Phantom Pain is silly as hell.
I feel proud when I see Alien Isolation game, but I feel sad when I see MGS game, because we didn't got MGS 6.

I'm at a loss as to why you put Pandora Tomorrow on this list when literally Chaos Theory exists
classic wow rogue class :P
Watch dogs 2? You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. Every time you took down about three guards stealthily, somehow the rest of the guards would suddenly become suspicious; even if they weren’t in sight of you or anywhere near you. Also, it seems kind of ironic that for a video about stealth games, most of your metal gear solid 5 footage had almost every guard in sight shooting the shit out of you.
Really? Ground Zeros over Phantom Pain? Pandora Tomorrow over Chaos Theory? Who put this together? 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾
Thief-series ?!, FC4 avanpost missions, Styx...
The OG Splinter cell on the OG Big daddy Xbox with the Duke control . Thats what should of been on this list . Not pandoras tomorow . Last of made it twice on the list which is great i love them games but why not just put part 2 an save a space for something like dishonoured ? Or other games because there are plenty .

How can you make a list of the best stealth games without including Thief? It's literally the greatest and most influential game in the genre.
the Best stealth is optional 👍
You missed so many great stealth games namely AC 1 2 brotherhood, unity, Dishonored series, Splinter cell chaos theory

Unity is basically the only game in the AC franchise that has better stealth. But even that game's stealth gameplay is mid, carried by its parkour and animations. Even Red Dead Redemption 2 has better stealth than the pre-Unity games and that's saying something.
Hitman Blood Money should be in this list
I'm commenting this before watching full video. If MGSV TPP isn't at the top, It's a bad list.

MGS V was good but it's not really a stealth game.
No Thief 1 and 2? What is this?
How you can make a list of the best stealth games of all time & NOT include any Thief title is beyond me.
Well at least it’s better than the last list of best PlayStation something or other that included an Xbox only game 😂
0:17 what is the name of that game
What about watch dogs 😢?
The majority of games on this list were inspired by the classic Thief games in some way. And yet as usual, GB does not even mention them. Their disdain for classic pc games has always been apparent.
No Syphon Filter?
Number 2 should be dishonored 1 and 2. Number 1 should be MGSV TPP. There's no other way.
No. 1 stealth game is far cry series
Lol how many times yall gonna remake this video?
Listing TLoU 1 & 2 as separate games was lazy as hell...
Talks about stealth but gameplay shown is the opposite lol
Sekiro ? Stealth game ? Seriously ?
Chaos theory still the best stealth game
how could you forget Assassin's creed series?
@SexySauron-iv5js

The stealth in those games are basic af and offers next to nothing of anything new and engaging. It's mediocre gameplay carried by fancy takedown animations.
No Assassin's Creed or Dishonored?
Tenchu on here?
No Horizon Zero Dawn? be a old school hunter isnt on the profile of a stealth gamer and a souls game? Where is the sleeping darts on that one?
AC Unity
No mention of metal gear solid
Menhunt, Thief
No Ghost of Tsushima?????
I know stealth approach is optional to these games but since this list comes with questionable titles then may I add Spiderman Miles Miorales addicting stealth takedowns.
Ghost recone were 😢
lol Aragami 1 is way better than 2
One of the worst lists ever.....where is: 1) MGS V Phantom Pain 2) Splinter Cell : Chaos Theory 3) Mark of the Ninja And since when did a souls game become stealth?

Phantom Pain isn't phenomenal though this list is bad by itself. Chaos Theory and Pandora Tomorrow are both close enough/are both Splinter Cell games so it makes sense. But yeah the list is still mid at best lmao
No Assassin's Creed. Great
Thief?
DO NOTTT BUY SEKIRO for stealth the majority of the game is suffering through bosses but if you a fan of dark souls its the right game for you
Lol sekiro isnt really a stealth game.
Plague Tale Requiem is not even a proper game to begin with, more like annyoing (yet beautiful) interactive movie, stealth is not always possible (in scripted story events) and feels like downgrade from first Plague Tale Innocence, Sekiro is more kind of Dark Souls game, not at all forgiving :)
Sniper Elite 4 is MUCH better
🤦♂
Sekiro is NOT a stealth game
No dishonored ? Disliked
The reason why stealth games are not as popular is because modern young gamers would rather play 💩 dumb games instead of games that involves tatics and brain power and patience!

Pandora Tomorrow instead of Chaos Theory, and TLOU PT 2? Really? Terrible list. Maybe upload a couple times a week instead of every day. Also hilarious that you couldn't help but put TLOU PT 1 higher on the list, since everything about it is way better than PT 2. The AI in PT 2 is basically retarded, the gunplay is awful, and don't even get me started on that story. "An intricately woven tale about the never ending cycle of revenge." Ah yes, so intricate. That's why there's no ability to spare anyone. When they "surrender", they sit there for a minute, and then go back to shooting at you after a short time. Revenge is bad, but Abby gets her revenge and pretty much gets away with it. Only Ellie suffers permanent consequences for pursuing it. Remember when Abby was about to kill Dina, Ellie told her she was pregnant and pleaded for her to stop, and Abby said "good"? Before almost going through with it? Only relenting because her friend begged her to stop? Then you have Ellie, who accidentally killed Abby's pregnant friend (because neither of the people there with her could be bothered to say "wait she's pregnant", including the father of the child). Ellie was traumatized and heartbroken. Long and short of it is, that story is terrible. Abby gets pretty much everything she wants after pursuing her revenge, and Ellie gets railroaded. There's not even a choice to kill or spare Abby, because the devs knew that most people would kill her, because she's a horrible person. Never bothers to ask Joel why he killed her father, just brutally tortures and murders him in front of his surrogate daughter. But Abby's dad saved a zebra, so we should feel bad for her. What a joke. "Intricately woven" like a coiled dog turd.
