Well, Splinter Cell, Pandora Tomorrow, and Chaos Theory are pretty interconnected. I enjoyed it, but it's kind of forgettable. I understand why people don't like it, but I totally dig what it was going for.īlacklist is a return to form and definitely scratches the tactical stealth itch, but it's still streamlined in a lot of ways compared to the gold standard, Chaos Theory. It has the best visual style of the series and the second-best soundtrack, behind Chaos Theory. I enjoyed it a lot, but it doesn't really fit in with the rest of the series. Conviction is more fast-paced, like a Bourne movie. The first four games are slow, methodical, tactical stealth games. Conviction is the black sheep of the series because they changed up a lot of the stealth and action elements. You need to know the story for Double Agent in order to really appreciate the story for Conviction. It plays fairly similar to the first three but I didn't like the premise and everything just felt a little flat - I only liked one mission (for those who have played, it's the hotel mission). I would have rather just skipped paying for it and read a Wikipedia summary. I didn't enjoy the way movement felt, the lighting, the story, or anything. I played the PC version, and it's worth noting that there are two different versions of the game, a decision that I found baffling. That's not to say that I didn't enjoy them - I absolutely did - but going back from Chaos Theory to 1 and 2, you definitely notice the absence of those systems.ĭouble Agent, #4, is my least favourite in the series. However, there are systems and mechanics in 3 not present in 1 or 2 that I really enjoyed. The first two games (Splinter Cell and Pandora Tomorrow) are also very good, very similar style to Chaos Theory. If you're in firefights with enemies, you've made a mistake somewhere. It's a slow game that rewards you for being sneaky. It's pretty forgiving for new players, as long as you know what type of game you're buying and playing. You don't need to play the other games to enjoy it, though it's worth just taking two minutes to read up on the main characters - there aren't really any introductions to the team in CT. Chaos Theory, the third one in the series, is generally considered to be the best, and it's my personal favourite.
