12 Most Underrated Stealth Video Games Of All Time

8. The Chronicles Of Riddick: Dark Athena

For a time, relative newcomers Starbreeze Studios were the industry's wonderkids; a set of incredibly talented individuals who were fleshing out the potential-filled world of Riddick into the digital realm. However, whilst Riddick's first outing, Escape from Butcher Bay, was an outstanding achievement in both first-person melee combat and graphical fidelity, Dark Athena arrived to an world that viewed it more as an optional add-on, as oppose to a full game. It's truly a shame, as although like Alpha Protocol there are a ton of action-heavy options available, Riddick now sported his twin Ulak blades, could kill from any direction relative to his enemy, and really came into his own when you took him into the darkness. There's no game quite like Riddick when it comes to the pendulum swing of power as you go from exploring to shadow-stalking your prey, and as his trademark 'eyeshine' ability tinted the screen purple whenever you were completely hidden, it meant you could lure entire swathes of enemies to their gory doom in quick succession.
