Few things in life as are as intoxicating as the thrills offered by stealth games.

You know what’s more thrilling than shooting bad guys point black in the face? Actually being a mortal human being who can be killed by a well-placed shot to the noggin.

This is what stealth games excel at: giving you the sense that, while you’re more than capable of getting the job done, you’re as vulnerable as anybody else. To complete your objectives, you’ll have to use strategy, timing, and of course, a whole lot of sneaking around. They’re basically action games for patient, intelligent people!

So, for your pleasure, we’ve listed down the 11 Best Stealth Games to Play in 2015. We’ve only included the most recent stealth games, however, so don’t expect anything earlier than 2010.

Let’s start with stealth game number…

11. Alien: Isolation

You’re trapped in a sprawling, derelict space station, Sevastopol. Hot on your heels is the iconic Xenomorph – an unstoppable force of nature that knows nothing but to butcher all that crosses its path.

Alien: Isolation is stealth and survival horror in the truest sense of the word. As Ellen Ripley’s daughter, you must survive the Xenomorph pursuing you. This relentless hunter appears when you least expect it, and gets smarter as the game progresses.

I think there's something lurking about...

And there’s very little you can do to stop it. You’ve got no friends to help you. Your weapons are pathetic. Your best bet is to hide, and hope the beast hasn’t picked up on your proclivity for concealing yourself in closets...

If you like your stealth games with heavy helpings of horror, you have to try Alien: Isolation.

These dummies don't play nice.

It's coming for you!
