Went onto inspire much more popular games and went mostly forgotten but between its soundtrack character designs and great set pieces. If you like deadly premonition this is made by the same studio and deserves your vote.

You would think that there would've been, between the success of stuff like Mission: Impossible and James Bond, an absolute glut of espionage-driven spy games, but that hasn't quite been the case! Spy Fiction was janky, as others are saying, but I haven't yet found a game that has tried quite as hard to replicate the spy experience. You sneak around, you carry out missions, use fun gadgets to accomplish said missions - and the big feature: you can disguise yourself as nearly any character in the game. This was such a fun thing to play around with, and makes for some really cool situations. It also adds a bit of replayability, since, of the two playable characters, only one can disguise herself as male and female NPCs, while the other can only disguise himself as male characters. This means some parts of some missions will have to be approached differently, depending on who you're playing. If you've ever played Deadly Premonition, you'll know what you're up against since this is the same director and developer. And this certainly feels like a blend of MGS + Deadly Premonition + and that old Mission: Impossible game for the N64! Wish this had gotten a remaster or a rerelease in the same way Deadly Premonition did, but I would be thrilled if a straight PC port emerged, courtesy of GOG!

Can't believe that even obscure titles such as this made the list . It's combat is incredibly janky and the story is a bit all over the place but it cannot be understated how truly unique this game is at times . So many fun gimmicks and interesting set pieces that sadly no other games to my knowledge tried to replicate

Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.

Silent Hill: Downpour
Silent Hill: DownpourSilent Hill: Downpour is the eighth Silent Hill video game installment and the last fully-released video game in the series. Just like its predecessors, Downpour combines exploring abandoned surroundings, talking to characters, and solving puzzles, set against a slow, psychological horror theme. Different from the previous game Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is the return of combat. The player often has to fight off monsters using a variety of weapons, but he can carry only one melee and one ranged weapon who can deteriorate over time. Entirely new to the series is the introduction of a weather system: there is a full day and night cycle and rain often warns the player of danger that is approaching. It is possible to hide until the weather becomes better again.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Silent Hill: Shattered MemoriesSilent Hill: Shattered Memories is the seventh installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series, and a stand-alone reimagining of the original Silent Hill video game. Once again, you will cast Harry Mason searching across the haunted town for his missing daughter Cheryl. Through his exploration, Harry will come across objects and recordings that tell some of the history of Silent Hill. New to the series are a depiction of Silent Hill's demonic alter-dimension as a world of ice, and the removal of weapons from the game: when the monsters come out, Harry must literally run for his life. Between scenes, the game will cut to a psychiatrist's office, who asks personal questions about Harry and his past experiences. The game will then alter itself based on the player's responses, changing characters and lines of dialog to something intended to be more personally uncomfortable.

Silent Hill: Origins
Silent Hill: OriginsSilent Hill: Origins is the fifth installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series, and a prequel to the original game. As in the previous entries, the player move back and forth between nightmare and real versions of the town, gathering items used to solve puzzles and open up new areas. Monsters of various types provide obstacles and, in series tradition, are mostly disturbingly twisted versions of humanity. The main character can fight with his bare fists or use melee weapons. Unlike previous games in the series, melee weapons break after a time. There are also one-shot items that can be thrown and several guns. There is no HUD, but the edge of the screen turns red when the protagonist is near death.
