When looking at my stealth itch it comes in a few categories. I have my own categories that I use based upon what I have urges to play. I know that not every category is covered so feel free to add the ones you use.
What games do you play to scratch your stealth itch and what category does the game fall under?
The Thief
Play to steal, no or minimal combat. Actively try to avoid combat and confrontation.
I play Thief II for this itch
The Shadow
You may kill or you may sneak. The goal is not always violence it could be capture intel or people.
I play Death to Spies: Moment of Truth for this itch.
The Assassin
You have a target you kill the target as quietly as possible.
I play Hitman Blood Money for this itch.
The Sniper
Long range target kill while remaining in stealth. Other side missions can exist in this but the main focus is long range stealth kills.
I play Sniper Ghost Warrior for this itch.
The Rouge
Similar to the assassin and the shadow but open to fantasy weapons, magic, daggers, ect.
I have a hard time finding a game for this itch so I play Skyrim as a Dark Brotherhood/Thieves guild member to achieve this goal.
The Hunter
Same as the Rouge but sci-fi.
I play AVP 2 for this fix.
The Spy
Steal information no combat, very similar to the thief but focus on information.
I play Uplink for this itch. Not the optimal game but it does work as not all spies are James Bond.
The Hollywood Spy
Steal info, kill targets, hack computers, but with more action. No limit to kills of how you get the job done as long as the job is done.
I play a sneaky character in E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy for this itch.
The Wordsmith
Achieve victory through talking rather than combat. Trick, mislead, double deal, and lie your way to victory.
I games found no games for this category.
Not sure what it says about me that I have so many different stealth itches?
