10 AWESOME Video Games That Never Got Sequels

Even though stealth focuses on covertness and subtlety, games in this genre often involve a lot of direct violence.

However, Mark of the Ninja takes stealth to the extreme. Facing enemies head-on never ends well, forcing players to constantly operate in the shadows. 

Fortunately, our ninjitsu-trained protagonist utilises many innovative mechanics to stay hidden, including hiding bodies, picking locks, disabling lights, and distracting guards. The nameless ninja is equipped with darts, a grappling hook, spores, mines, smoke bombs, noise makers, and suicide-inducing darts, offering a variety of methods to dispatch baddies and disable security systems.

Also, our hero is rewarded with extra points if subtler techniques are used on enemies. Since these points can be exchanged for helpful items and upgrades, players are encouraged to assess every danger and find the most inconspicuous strategy to progress.

Due to the versatility in gameplay, Mark of the Ninja is considered one of the best 2D stealth titles ever. For this reason, it's strange how Klei Entertainment have never pursued a sequel. (They made a follow-up for Shank, and that's nowhere near the same calibre.)

Although the 2018 remaster was nice, fans are still pining for for a whole new instalment.
