I just randomly remembered Velvet Assassin, I do remember playing it for a bit but I have no idea if it was any good or not.

I've been replaying the Metal Gear Solid games and haven't really played above Normal difficulty in any of them so I did my replay of 2 on Hard w/ instant failure if I'm seen and it was a ton of fun, had to care about a lot of things I never really did in previous playthrus. May go back and try one of the Extreme modes after making it thru 3 again. I miss Splinter Cell games, blacklist was pretty great and Chaos Theory is one of my favorite stealth games ever. May replay the SC games I have and the Thief games after I get tired of MGS again.

Are any/all splinter cell games playable on modern systems? I never got around to trying any of them. I see the original is on GOG, so I assume that's probably functional at least.

I didn't mind it personally (the actual stealth gameplay anyway) and beat it years back. But I remember a lot of people hating it, since the gameplay was somewhat 'bland' stealth (which I mean, is still not a bad baseline as such IMO, since stealth is stealth) but also due to the portrayal of the main character due to who they were based on, or something similar. It's been a while so I don't recall the details, but I'm pretty sure the latter was a big part of it. Anyway, I'm not sure about you guys, but I loved playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance as a stealth game! I'm always tempted to go back and replay that game, but I've got too much in my backlog atm. It was always great fun sneaking around, slitting bandits' throats or sneakily shooting their sentries before picking off the guys in their camps, etc.

It was buggy as all hell when I played it so I only got a little bit in. I guess technically this means I dunno how good it is but "couldnt find out if it was good or not cause of crashes" is a review of sorts

Ostensibly it's a stealth game but you get seen extremely easily and some levels you're just on enemy alert and gun lots of them down anyway. You're also extremely fragile. I guess I mostly consider it a stealth game because https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vlnh0KLVJJ0

Maybe they don't wanna make eastern Europeans the villains given what's going on over there, who knows. As long as the gameplay is good I don't really care what the story is

Aragami is 85% off for the next week or so. If you haven't picked it up yet now's a good time.

Heat Signature: do concussive weapons have an undocumented chance to kill people or something? I geared up for my second-ever personal mission, a capture mission with like 30 guards with random loadouts and several contractors, spent a good while sneaking through the ship cloning keycards and disabling turrets, tricked the Predator into teleporting into space, finally made it face to face with my nemesis, hit them with my Quiet Concussive Shotgun, and they dropped dead and it threw up a Mission Failed screen. The guard next to them who also got caught in the blast was knocked unconscious as expected.

Important tip for anyone playing Heat Signature: Trackers will turn instantly and shoot you dead if they ever have a clear line of fire to you, if their sensors are online; when idle it looks like they turn normally, but you cannot (for example) teleport behind them and knife them before they can turn around, because you will die at the instant you emerge from the teleport. The only way to defeat a Tracker is to engage them indirectly (traps, grenades, etc) or disable their sensors with a subverter or crashbeam. Really wish I'd found that out on a different character than the one with the "dies in one hit" trait on the last mission of the game.

Plague Tale: Requiem. Only played the first chapter but folks, it appears to rock just as much as the first. (seriously, play Plague Tale: Innocence if you haven't already)
