20 Best Stealth Video Games Of All Time

15. Batman: Arkham Asylum

Being Batman in a video game is one thing, as Rocksteady's rich and complex combat system allowed comic book fans everywhere to fulfil their fantasy; become the Batman and beat the crap out of bad guys. But the key part of being Batman is hiding in the shadows, striking from a place of fear to take out your enemies and create an aura of confidence that eclipses any other. Taking cover in the shadow of darkness, moving from the many hiding spots that the game offers, it delivers a very visceral experience that you can't get from many other stealth titles. The movement of Batman works on such a clear level, giving you all the tools to get better in an organic and natural way. Your improvement with the game is incremental, but it moves at an extremely swift pace that is absolutely perfect.
