XXL3's Crete has definetly my least favourite stealth section of all time
Although there are games out there that have worse stealth than XXL3
GTA Online has optional stealth (except for one instance) in some missions but if you choose to go for the sneaky method you'd quickly realise how awful stealth is in this game simply due to the overpowered and unfair AI
No effort stealth fucking SUUUCK!!!
Not rarely does even the slightest noise cause guards to trigger the alarm and blow you away with their god like accuracy
I don't play stealth games, though I think I had some segments in a Barbie game, there's an easy stealth part in Yandere Simulator, and Asterix Brain Trainer has a couple of maze minigames where you play as Obelix and try to avoid enemies
Honestly for me, stealth sections in games, optional or forced, is a very controversial topic
As far as I'm concerned they just suck because they're never properly developed.
It's just in there because it's a box to tick off on the AAA list of things that need to be in because the man with the money said so.
If I want to stealth then I'll plop in thief or Dishonored or something more in that line.
Stealth games in general sound kind of like fun not gonna lie but when it comes to games that circle around loud action and suddenly you get thrown into a stealth section, there is like you said a chance they're not developed properly and just downright bad. GTA Online is and always will be the best example of awful stealth
Seriously. Fuck that EMP delivery setup for the Humane Labs Heist
Stealth in Lego games IIRC isn't even stealth... It's just a theming with no actual gameplay supporting the stealth itself.
The Lego The Hobbit stealth is a fucking joke!
But in that it's also fine.
Because it at least doesn't effect anything.
In the lego jp game you get raptor pounce minigames if you aint stealthy in certain parts
GTA stealth though... JESUS FUCKING CHRIST... It's the worst.
