10 Video Games You Can Finish Without Killing A Single Enemy
2. Thief: The Dark Project
The whole point of the Thief series of games is that you're supposed to live and breathe the life of a master thief, sticking to the shadows and avoiding detection at all costs, so it makes sense that these games inspire and encourage pacifist playthroughs.
Thief was one of the first ever stealth games, forcing players to think about light and sound in their bid to evade enemies and pull off the perfect heists. The game's hero, Garrett, has to think five steps ahead and plan each move with precision to make it through levels without alerting the guards to his presence, with players using special tools and arrows to extinguish flames or muffle their footsteps.
In fact, Thief: The Dark Project is an extra special inclusion in this list as it's completely possible to finish the game without even knocking out a single enemy. Garrett is equipped with a non-lethal weapon but never actually needs to use it, as each level can be navigated in pure sneaky silence.
