Gunpoint is a stealth puzzle game that lets you rewire its levels to trick people. You play a freelance spy who takes jobs from his clients to break into high security buildings and steal sensitive data. To get past security, you'll need to make creative use of your main gadget: the Crosslink.

≠ Stands apart with shooter, third-person shooting and puzzle design, while skipping precision platforming

Hundreds of very short training challenges stripped from the original Metal Gear Solid — sneak past guards, clear a room, solve a weapon puzzle — set in abstract wireframe rooms with no world attached. It is the pure mechanical core of the game and nothing else. There is no story to speak of, and this PC release is a widely criticised port that many players replace with a community fix.

A standalone expansion to Shadow Tactics set in the same Edo-period Japan, with the same real-time squad stealth: pause, plan, and execute several characters' actions at once. If you finished the original and want more, this is exactly that. It is also only three real missions long, reuses maps from the base game, and adds nothing mechanically new.

New Bordeaux and its period soundtrack are exceptional, and the story handles race and its era with more seriousness than the genre usually manages. Driving feels heavy and right. The structure undercuts all of it — the same racket-clearing loop repeats across every district, and the mission variety runs out long before the map does.
