Stealth
Stealth can be a separate genre or an element of gameplay. Stealth gameplay is built on moving discreetly through locations and eliminating enemies. The character is usually very vulnerable and dies quickly in open combat. To achieve the goal, the hero is provided with various devices and special weapons: a tranquilizer pistol, cameras, distraction devices, and so on. Completing the mission will require the player to have patience, the skill to make quick decisions, and tactical abilities.
