Games Like Thick As Thieves (2026)

Shared: tier:sub-5

Russian roulette with a 12-gauge and enough item-based mind games to make pure luck feel like a skill issue. Dirt cheap, brutally short, weirdly hard to put down.

Shared: Grappling Hook Traversal

Ada's five-hour sprint back through RE4's greatest hits, rebuilt around a grappling hook that makes the combat sing. Superb if you finished Leon's run, baffling if you didn't.

Shared: Grappling Hook Traversal

Parkour across a quarantined city by day, then pray you make it to a safe house before the Volatiles clock in. Ten years on, Dying Light still does the day-night survival loop better than almost anything else in the genre.

Shared: Grappling Hook Traversal

FromSoftware stripped out the build variety and handed you one katana. If you can handle that trade, what remains might be the sharpest action combat ever put in a video game.

Shared: Alternate History

Over a decade old and still the benchmark for grand-strategy depth, EU4 rewards patience with hundreds of hours of alternate-history sandboxing, but the DLC catalog demands a plan before you open your wallet.
