"Maybe it's just about it being the best Splinter Cell that it can be.".
We know that there's a new Splinter Cell in the works for Xbox One, but quite what it'll amount to is anybody's guess. Last year's Blacklist was well-received, but has fallen short of Ubisoft's targets, so another franchise refresh could be in order.
Splinter Cell: Blacklist is an excellent example of a modern day stealth title, giving the player a great degree of freedom in playing the game out how they see fit. The stealth is done exceptionally well with every level having dozens of alternative paths so that you can craft your own way through. Even the sections where youre forced into run and gun combat feel great which leads The Refined Geek to believe that even if you played Blacklist as a traditional FPS itd still rate up there as a great game.
Yes this is the Splinter Cell I have been waiting for. Splinter Cell Blacklist accomplished keeping the hardcore mechanics of Chaos Theory, but the available choice to go all out action as I would in Conviction. As I go depth on the review Of Splinter Cell Blacklist I would recommend everyone to buy this title.
From GamesReviews:
"The general interest in Splinter Cell Blacklist seemed to be practically zero ahead of its launch. A change of pace in its predecessor, Conviction, as well as a new Sam Fisher and a series of generic trailers meant that release came and went with little fanfare."
