12 Most Underrated Stealth Video Games Of All Time

4. Gunpoint

Coded almost entirely by one person in their spare time, Gunpoint is a side-on pixel art showcase of what happens when a games reviewer (Tom Francis) applies everything they've learnt to their own creation. By letting you play as a character that has instant access to any electrical system in any given building - thereby meaning you can rewire lighting systems, locks and plenty more any time you like - it manages to walk a fine line between being an out n' out puzzle game, but also rewards quickfire reactions if you need to deal with any immediate danger. That means guards can be leapt on and battered into submission if you're fast enough (the game even makes a brilliant 'Are you STILL punching them!?' barb if you don't stop) and any improvised tactics can be deployed on the fly once you get a handle on how the various systems interface with each other. The best part though? You can tackle guards through windows if you aim right, and there's nothing better than leaping deftly out the side of a high-rise, cushioning the fall with a wayward goon and strolling back off into the night.
