Opinion: Tall-grass stealth in games like Marvel's Wolverine needs to go
Original: Games with stealth missions, like Marvel's Wolverine, need to retire the tall-grass-hiding mechanic.
A gaming commentary argues that developers should retire the well-worn tall-grass hiding mechanic from stealth missions, pointing to Marvel's Wolverine as a game likely to lean on it. The piece reflects a broader fatigue among players with crouch-in-foliage stealth, popularised by franchises like Assassin's Creed and Horizon, calling for more inventive stealth design in upcoming titles.
Why now: Discussion of Marvel's Wolverine ahead of its release is prompting debate about whether classic stealth conventions still hold up.
