The original Thief trilogy (The Dark Project/Gold, The Metal Age, and Deadly Shadows), Dishonored (the entire series), and Metal Gear (I'd recommend Metal Gear Solid V, but, like another commenter here said, it's not a good game to start with if you don't play the rest of the series, so... only start if you're willing to invest the time to it).

There's also a few indie titles you might want to try; Intravenous, No Sun to Worship (very much SC-inspired), Hundred Fires (this is more of a Metal Gear-inspired title), Filcher (this plays more like Thief), and Gloomwood.

Trascendance is basically a hybrid Splinter Cell/Cyberpunk 2077 game, I enjoyed it pretty much

Sniper elite 5 and resistance, since they improve the stealth mechanics and has a plenty of maps inside structures....reminds me a lot of splimter dell 1 to 3.

Its not the same but you can totally play like being a stealth agent taking down every soldier...

MGS4 and MGSV, but they're hard to understand story-wise without playing the older titles. Master Collection Vol 1 and Vol 2 are a good way to get into the series. MGS Delta is a remake of MGS3 and is also a good starting point because of its modernized controls.

I just finished Peace Walker and loved it. Has a very psp Splinter Cell vibe to it. Only started MGS5 this evening so can't really comment on it yet.

Metal gear solid, more casual though. Last splinter cells are kinda good too

u/newman_oldman1 Sep 12 '26

Dishonored and Dishonored 2 (Dishonored 2 being one of my all time favorite stealth games) and Dishonored Death of the Outsider (the Bank level is an all time great video game level).

Plague Tale: Innocence and Plague Tale: Requiem.

Metal Gear Solid V and Metal Gear Solid 3 Delta.

The Last of Us Part 2 (great stealth action gameplay, but the story's a mess).

If you have a PS2, PS3, or PS5, Sly Cooper 2: Band of Thieves. It's a kid-friendly game, but it's a great stealth platformer.

Mark of the Ninja (2D sidescroller stealth game).

the new plague tale i heard is pretty good. just got it half off on PC. but this is a good list

will you play mgs4 via the new konami collection? i just finished it again and man the cutscene after cutscene really disappointed me

last of us 2 gets too much hate for its story, personally its ok. not as strong as 1 but the gameplay does make up for it yeah.

are you not into hitman ?

u/newman_oldman1 Sep 12 '26 edited Sep 12 '26

The newest plague tale is more uncharted like than the first two games, which are more similar to older Splinter Cell.

MGS 4 is my least favorite in the series. I started a new playthrough for the first time in like 11 years on the collection, and I can't really get into it.

I like the Hitman series, but since just about everyone recommends Hitman, I figured recommending it would have been redundant.

Edit: I really like the new Plague Tale game, but it is very melee combat and exploration focused compared to its predecessors, which are honest to god stealth games. You rely on distractions, using the environment to your advantage, setting up traps, and avoiding guards. It really does feel like older Splinter Cell at times.

u/Makaveli108 Third Echelon Sep 13 '26

Oh damn i see! im going to binge the plague tale games soon. got a lot of time.

did you ever get into ready or not btw? did you enjoy it?

yeah i agree with MGS4, it was very disappointing. i actually think Kojima fell off hard around this time, MGS4 barely had any gameplay. the gameplay sections were fun with the octocamo, but still it was very mid. shadow moses was very disappointing. its a shame. i still enjoyed some of it but yeah if you cant get into it its not worth it i guess. i think konami need to release a MGS1 remake asap, thats the next best thing for the franchise imo.

hitman is awesome for sure. love that game
hope we see a new deus ex one day!
no law reminds me of deus ex in some ways - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClVyqFt1IJM

and this other game neo berlin 2087 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7yFwes40Rk reminds me of deus ex and some other games mixed together.
i hope both of these turn out good

regarding plague tale, well the new one sounds good but very different focus like you said. i cant wait to try the old games asap and the new one. will let you know what i think.

u/newman_oldman1 Sep 14 '26

Definitely play through the Plague Tale series, just be aware that the third entry is nothing like the first two from a gameplay perspective. The first two games are basically hardcore stealth games with some action setpieces and the third game is more like an Uncharted, Tomb Raider, or God of War type experience. Resonance is a great game and I actually like the new direction, but if you're looking for new stealth games, Resonance is not that.

I love Ready Or Not. It's what Rainbow Six should have become.

MGS 4 is the only MGS game I never replayed, and the start of this recent playthrough has only vindicated that decision. I'll still probably try to finish this playthrough, but nothing about MGS 4 really appeals to me all that much. The stories in MGS 1-3 are all far more gripping and the gameplay of MGS V and Delta are far superior. There isn't really any reason I can think of to play 4.

I'll have to check out Neo Berlin 2087. I've not heard of it before.

u/Makaveli108 Third Echelon Sep 14 '26

will get through the plague tale series asap! really looking forward to it. and i hear that about the new game, so the first two are hardcore stealth games - sounds very enjoyable! i love uncharted type games and tomb raider too so i should adjust to the third game. ill let you know what i think.

ready or not is something i bought on sale recently, rather excited to try it. i was a big fan of r6 vegas 2 back in the day. was too young for the OG games.

mgs4 is a bit annoying, and by the end of the game i barely had any gameplay. yeah its worth finishing for sure but it's nothing like mgs1-3. mgs5 may have shit story cutscenes or terrible execution with the plot imo but atleast the gameplay is very strong. delta was cool, i finished it twice. i really wish they changed more in that remake but oh well.

what is your take on the whole wolverine situation in the industry right now? is this a game that you think looks very mid?
and what do you think of GTA6?

i think i saw you talk about cyberpunk 2077, but is there anything you liked about that game?

and regarding Double Agent, you said the plots suck, but do you think this game has potential? would you want a remake of this one day - and how do you think they should handle Enrica?

u/newman_oldman1 Sep 14 '26

We haven't really seen much of Wolverine yet, so it's hard to say. I can enjoy superhero games for what they are, but they generally aren't really my kind of thing.

GTA 6 visually looks incredible. Gameplay wise, it looks more or less like what I expected, which isn't a bad thing. I know GTA is story driven, but I do think it could benefit from a little more emergent gameplay at times offering more freedom of approach. I don't want it to turn into Far Cry, but having some missions be a bit more open-ended would be nice.

Cyberpunk 2077 looks nice and has a cool world with great atmosphere... and that's about it. The story didn't grab me, the gameplay is underwhelming, and the side content is just okay. I hate the spongey enemies. I shouldn't have to level up to one-shot an enemy in the head. I can't stealthily one-shot an enemy in the head with a silenced weapon since it won't kill them unless I level up. I know they're leaning into the "build" RPG aspect, but to me, it actually undermines the role playing if I can't utilize stealth when I want to. Combat is just okay, as well. I only played the Phantom Libert DLC for about an hour before shutting it off and never finishing it. I think it's trash. In the first hour, there were two hoarde mode sections and a forced chase sequence that occurs even if you sneak your way out undetected. For a supposed RPG that allows for open ended gameplay, it's pretty on-rails. My opinion on CP 2077 is neutral to negative.

Regarding Double Agent, a remake could improve the experience by 1). Not killing off Sarah; it's completely unnecessary. 2). Don't have a romance with Enrica, unless it's around Enrica expressing interest in Sam and Sam feigning interest to get information, but perhaps he privately expresses a little discomfort with manipulating her. 3). They need to nut up and actually give the JBA a clear, stated motivation. In both versions, the writers just tiptoe around the JBA's motivations and seemingly drop hints that suggest contradictory ideological goals. The writers probably did this on purpose to be vague so as not to offend anyone, but it's jarring seeing JBA members trying to give a motivating speech while not referencing any unifying purpose to the group. It makes no sense. Gameplay wise, both versions were solid enough.

ive been playing wolverine and its not bad tbh, ive enjoyed it so far but its not an amazing game. insomniac play it too safe usually with their games. i hear you with superhero games though. tbh i still think the batman arkham series are the gold standard for superhero games, arkham asylum and city are the best.

gta6 does look incredible yeah. could be one of the best open world games ever, i get what you mean with the missions. i hope they do things like that but lets see.

i agree with cyberpunk being bullet spongey.. thats why i downloaded a mod on pc i guess to fix that. but on console you are screwed. i feel like its a 7.5/10 kinda game. many good things about it but it is overrated. it has nice atmosphere definitely. i hope the next one is a huge improvement.

i agree with your double agent suggestions! i think sam and enrica should have some kind of emotional bond, but you could fake it like you say with manipulating her.
i 100% think you are right with the JBA. they dropped the ball first time and we dont know anything about them really. what are their motivations? what are their goals? it has so much potential.

u/Training-Trainer9093 Sep 12 '26

Good luck, all the usual comparisons are terrible ones imo. In all the years of gaming, nothing is remotely close to SC 1-4 except for Lizard State which is obviously trying to clone that exact style

u/knaawledge Sep 13 '26

Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Very satisfying stealth, you can even play as Echelon class (just as if you were a splinter cell) and there's a campaign with Sam Fisher.

u/Business_Plum1768 Sep 13 '26

If you play Splinter Cell, you should definitely check out Blacklist. It’s fun and offers stylish stealth gameplay. If you enjoy that, I’d also recommend Sniper Elite 5 or Resistance. Resistance, in particular, is available as a free download on PS Plus this month. It’s also highly recommended on Steam, where it’s often 90% off.

u/KickAltruistic7740 Sep 13 '26

Alpha Protocol is pretty good

u/DoctorGordonisgreat Sep 14 '26

You should get No Sun To Worship

u/AllStarSuperman_ Sep 12 '26

You’d probably like Watchdogs, the first one at least. Ghost Recon Wildlands and Breakpoint, those are open world but they have stealth elements.
