A stealth game is a genre of video games that emphasizes subtlety and precision over direct confrontation, requiring players to avoid detection by enemies and overcome obstacles using secretive and covert tactics. Originating from classic titles that incorporated hiding and sneaking mechanics, the genre has evolved to include a wide array of gameplay styles. Stealth games often challenge players to navigate through environments undetected, make strategic use of tools and the environment to avoid or incapacitate foes, and solve puzzles that require careful timing and patience. Key to the genre is the thrill of staying unseen and outsmarting opponents, often rewarding players for completing objectives with minimal disturbance. This genre appeals particularly to players who enjoy meticulous planning and the intense satisfaction of executing a well-laid plan under the radar of enemy awareness.
