Yeah, I'm bummed out that more games don't have an 'old farts' mode.

Even games like AC where you might be able to use stealth instead of FPS...

At some point you inevitably get in combat.

But worse, where as you can sometimes set the combat to easy, they don't usually let you set stealth to easy or the complicated jumps between buildings to easy.

I soured on Assassin's Creed years ago. IIRC I crapped out on the second or third one. Got sick of all the jumping, climbing and timed missions where you had to jump and climb to exact spots.

You should definitely try the newer games. Starting with Unity, they pretty much abandoned the strict mission objectives. The games now allow you to solve problems your own way, whether that's stealth or whatever.

I will say that Odyssey and Valhalla are nothing like that at all.

Yep, I mentioned that I recently played Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla. I fired up Unity for about 30 minutes last night and it legitimately feels like a different game.

I like both styles, but I did not expect such a stark contrast.

Personally, I really hate stealth play in games. Especially the forced stealth missions. Those are the worst!

If I can't Leroy Jenkins my way through the game, I get bored with it.

Dark Souls games? **** that, not enjoyable...

Ditto. Dying Light 2 looks like a game i'd give up on early.

The later AC games don't force you to stealth but it definitely provides and advantage. I play quite a few hunting sims which are stealth extreme. I love sitting in a hunting stand and waiting. It's relaxing when you don't have wave after wave of zombies coming at you.

Totally agree.

Reminds me of my Skyrim runs. I'd always tell myself try to focus on sneak and bow/arrow builds but 20 minutes later I'm dual-wielding axes, running straight into a fortress.

I was just the opposite - I loved sniping in Skyrim.

I am definitely a hybrid on those. I sneak up on as many as I can, but when I inevitably get discovered I go full Conan the Barbarian.
