To this day I am still playing it on an emulator, by far one of the best Stealth games I have ever played, if not the best. Deserves a proper remaster, it has a level editor, cinematic animations & stealth kills, one of the most insane movement techniques & strats in PS2, the ability to create custom bombs & potions, and a dynamically changing world around you. Feels way ahead of its era. Emulating it at ~50 FPS (as it usually is locked at 25-30fps) is a blessing, and makes the game a lot more enjoyable. Would be lovely to see it brought up to modern standards, without removing what makes it iconic.

Shinobido has to be one of the greatest games in the stealth categorie.For a PS2 game the IA and mechanics were ahead of it's time.The plot is very well written and quite fitting for how chaotic and bloody the feudal Japan was.Your actions influence directly on how the war effort of all 3 leaders goes.We desperately need more ninja games and good stealth games,Shinobido and Tenchu series will bring us these things and much more. Please,consider bringing us these amazing titles,I promise that people will get hooked up and will relive the greatest times of the Playstation 2 era.
This is one of the most underrated games i ever knew One of the best stealth games with a potential lore Creation of potions Cool scenarios And menage the feudal lord you make missions for is super cool This game deserve a good remake

É o melhor jogo de stealth pra ps2, ele é basicamente Sekiro antes de Sekiro existir, sem falar que a mecânica do grapling hook aqui é melhor do que em sequiro por ser livre. O sistema de alquimia que servia pra criar tanto itens mais comuns como curas, como itens mais extremos como invencibilidade ou duplicar itens. O modo de construção onde você tinha que colocar guardas e armadilhas ao redor da sua casa para você não ser roubado ou te ajudar a defender seu lar, e o editor de missões onde é basicamente o modo de construção porém expandido. Sem falar também que pra defender sua casa, você ganhava itens e guerreiros confome você tinha mais afinidade com algum senhor feudal. É um jogo com tanto conteúdo em uma época que não havia dlcs, ou ter de esperar um update. E ainda tinha o modo crazy ninja que era basicamente um modo onde trocavam os gráficos dos personagens do jogo principal para o gráfico dos personagens do modo construção, é hilário. Esse jogo merece muito um port, não precisa nem ser em hd, podia ser só de forma que todos pudessem jogar até quem tem computadores mais fracos. Iria comprar pra mim e dar uma cópia pra cada amigo meu, irmão, até pessoas online que mostrassem o minimo interesse pra mim. Esse jogo merece ser visto, ser jogado.

It was also were I learned a lot about freedom in games, in a way to choose my mission, leave whenever I want, progress how I wanted, this is a gem and I love it.

Esse jogo é fantástico, joguei demais no PS2 e não me arrependo pois ele é bem feito, tem uma história legal, jogabilidade simples mas muito boa também. O sistema de crafting de poções é muito versátil, me lembro de ter passado tempos fazendo poções e bombas pras missões, sendo que meu inglês nem era bom hahaha. Mas com muito esforço consegui compreender a história do jogo e na época achei fascinante, também dá pra decidir certos rumos da guerra e também fortalecer algum lado(ou não deixar nenhum feudo muito forte). Apesar de ter poucos mapas no jogo, não deixa de ser empolgante jogar e conseguir executar 100% da missão. Eu compraria novamente esse jogo para platinar pois pra mim, foi um dos melhores jogos que já joguei na minha vida e fez parte da minha infância. Aproveitar para agradecer os criadores e desenvolvedores do jogo também!
One of the best stealth games I've ever played. The story is interesting, but the stellar part of the game is the gameplay, avoiding being detected, crafting items, and doing different missions (rescuing hostages is wild). Having it on PC, hopefully at 60fps, would be a joy, and some people may discover a jewel in the stealth niche.

Meu irmão! Traga esse jogo, cala a boca e pegue meu dinheiro! Jogo de ninja muito bem feito com diversos finais, pra época algo difícil, muito bem feito as possibilidades de golpes ninja. Estamos carentes de jogos ninja com qualidade! Outro que faz falta é o Red Ninja.
Those games also need your vote!

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.

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.
