The decision between Hitman Absolution, Xcom Enemy Unknown, and Max Payne 3 is largely a matter of preference. You should get the one that best fits your playing style and within your budget.

In a way yes like Hitman you use stealth to get the mission done and you can also disguise yourself as the enemy. But in Tenchu your character moves faster so stealth kills can be easier to pull off and the guards don't have as far field of vision as they do in Hitman. If you stick to the roof tops you should do just fine and you get all kinds of items to help you out in missions. I love Hitman but the guards field of vision in it is ridiculous so it's pretty easy to be spotted sometimes Tenchu is definitely a game worth checking out if your into stealth games.
