Human Revolution is, if we’re honest, not so much pure stealth as it is a stealth/action hybrid, but as a series it has always shown a preference for the cerebral rather than running and gunning.

That preference for stealth is emphasized by the abundance of options at your disposal. Every level features a myriad different routes, with vents, hackable doors and multiple ability-specific access points allowing you to ghost through each one (boss battles excluded). And when it comes to tools, non-lethal and silenced weapons, along with bionic fists, mean you can be a predator to rival Batman.

Tai Yong Medical has all of this, but where the level sets itself apart is in its setting and its final puzzle. Breathtaking views of Upper Hengsha provide a soothing contrast to one of the hardest segments of the game, a compact office space filled with copious amounts of glass, cameras, and patrolling guards to spot you, culminating in a security checkpoint that that requires patience and careful thought to dismantle.
