Intravenous 2 Solve stealth your way

Every mission starts the same way: a compound, a goal, and no script telling you how to get there. Creep through vents, lockpick a side door, trip a breaker to kill the lights, or walk in the front and start shooting. The game adapts to whichever one you pick. Go non-lethal with chokes and a tranq gun and you stay a ghost, though knocked-out guards can wake up and come looking. Go loud and the whole map knows your name. Sean's bullet time gives you an edge when a quiet night turns into a firefight.

The AI is the star here. Once they suspect an intruder, they hunt: clearing rooms, checking corners, and never quite calming down again. Slip into the dark during a firefight and they blind-fire at your last known position. As their numbers drop, they get rattled. They slip on fallen comrades, refuse to enter rooms, and start holding angles just to stay alive. It is a genuinely tense game of cat and mouse, and you are the mouse until you learn to be the cat.
