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.

The 2016 reboot that rebuilt the series around a handful of enormous sandbox levels — Paris, Sapienza, Marrakesh — designed to be replayed until you know every route, disguise and accident in them. Depth beats quantity here. The frustration is structural: much of the scoring and unlock system requires an online connection in a single-player game, and the trilogy's ownership and content-transfer rules remain a mess.

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.
