stealth games
Sneaking-focused video games
Stealth games are video games where avoiding detection is the primary mechanic.
Rather than confronting enemies directly, players hide, sneak, and move through shadows to accomplish objectives.
The genre emphasizes patience and planning over reflexes: I spent ten minutes watching guard patrol routes before making my move.
Classic examples include *Thief*, *Metal Gear Solid*, and *Hitman*.
