Stealth

Unlike the magnificent Assassin's Creed, Batman Arkham and Disnhonored series of games, stealth games in this section involve looking down on an environment in isometric or top-down view. You control a character around a maze-like environment while aiming to reach an exit or completing an objective without being seen; usually by guards or cameras of some sort. Stealing or taking what isn't yours is often a theme. To add to the tension many introduce an optional time-attack element. This is a sparsely represented genre where I struggled to meet the quota so Instant Dungeon and Hotline Miami were grabbed from other categories and drafted in to make up the numbers.
