Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell has been out of action for a decade, so it's time to look back at 2013's Splinter Cell: Blacklist.
Sam Fisher is evidently the most skilled stealth operative because no-one has seen him in his own game for years
The entire mark and execute system belonged in another game.
It’s cool, but the polar opposite to how Sam Fisher initially handled.
The original trilogy made shooting very, very difficult, yet a viable option, which ultimately motivates stealth.
The mark/execute system makes shooting stupid easy, to the point of why would you even bother trying stealth as an alternative?
The sad part is that I actually really enjoyed the last game, Blacklist. It may have lacked the iconic voice but the gameplay was excellent, and blended stealth, action and a mix really great compared to most games, where none of the three options felt like the wrong way to play. I really hope they either produce a remake of the original game or a proper sequel.
The stealth icon has gone too stealthy of late, but the best Splinter Cell games still rank among the best games ever made.

No it has nothing to do with all those game delays, we’ll talk about that later. What? No it’s not about the Skulls & Bones and Beyond Good & Evil 2 falling off the face of the Earth, just listen. We need to talk about Splinter Cell. Don’t give me that look, you know this conversation needs to happen. The way you’ve treated the series, its fans and poor Sam Fisher himself is sad, infuriating and just plain disappointing and it needs to stop."
The Fish!!!
I'd love to see a remastered edition of those games as well as something new. It's about time.
I would love a new splinter cell, maybe even a reboot at this point. Sam Fisher deserves it
I think reboot the entire franchise the games were great but every time they try to make him human like a father or something it comes of as unbelievable
They added damn near every SC game to Xbox1X back compat enahnced list. That is a lot of Sam enhanced and I am loving it, but Sam deserves a new next gen game.
This game is so full of content and most of it is simply fantastic. It has become my new favorite stealth game.
And I just have to say "wow" when it comes to the visuals. I am playing the game on PC and it looks gobsmackingly good.
For a game based all around light and shadows you can really tell that Ubisoft put particular care into this area, as these are the highest quality shadows I have ever seen in a game. You can be super close to a shadow and it never becomes noticeably grainy or jagged the way shadows in most games do.
The lighting is also probably the best I have seen--the way light filters into a room and lights objects in subtle different ways is utterly convincing. The light shafts also look to be of a higher precision than in most games and don't have any of that banding you see in a lot of other games.
Anyway, I really recommend this game. It is amazing. With the quality campaign, co-op, spies vs mercs and all the other content this game offers it is one of the best ways you could spend your money.
Great game play here, although have to add I have some issues with control pad lay-out.
This is very, very minor, but during cut scenes have to say not really liking the odd facial design of the characters, must be those weird looking eyes..
Choice of content features are immense.
