Overview
Description

Hidden & Dangerous puts you in command of an elite squad of Allied commandos during World War II. Lead covert missions across Europe, using stealth, planning, and firepower to outwit the enemy. The game offers both single‑player campaigns and multiplayer modes, letting you coordinate tactics with friends or AI teammates in a historically inspired setting.

Sniper Elite puts you in the boots of OSS operative Karl Fairburne, tasked with stopping Soviet forces from seizing Germany’s nuclear research in April 1945. The third‑person shooter blends tactical stealth, realistic ballistics, and strategic positioning across 28 missions set in and around war‑torn Berlin. The game rewards precision with a signature slow‑motion bullet‑cam, while wind, noise, and cover demand careful planning. Both single‑player and multiplayer modes let players experience the tense, methodical combat that defines the series.
