12 Most Underrated Stealth Video Games Of All Time

2. CounterSpy

PlayStation Plus' monthly offerings continue to divide opinion to this day as to their true worth, but one of the best in the service's history was CounterSpy; a supremely slick-looking side-on stealth title that dynamically switches to a cover shooter whenever you hop out the line of fire. As all levels are rendered in full 3D, Shadow Complex-style, it effortlessly melds the two styles into one, meaning you're free to leap fluidly around levels with varying amounts of verticality, taking out guards with ease, before snapping to cover and engaging in intense firefights or targeted headshots, should the need arise. The narrative sets you up as a neutral agent garnering power for your own faction during the Cold War, and everything from the character's slinky animations to the menus and backdrops are fully cloaked in 60s spy nostalgia. By pulling off such a unique blend of two tried n' tested formulas, it's a wonder we've not seen more of it from Dynamighty - but here's hoping increased exposure to their work prompts an eventual sequel.
