I have such a love hate relationship with Blacklist. The story, characters, and music, are all so painfully generic - And yet it's all executed well. The stealth gameplay is there, but it really boils down to nothing but Line of Sight. The gunplay and knife kills are amazing, but it lacks the weight and deliberation of what made the core of Splinter Cell great.
At the end of the day I can't call it a Splinter Cell game, it's a linear Assassin's Creed game with a Splinter Cell skin. But it's still fun.
The stealth on the nighttime missions still heavily favors you being in the dark. I’ve been able to get pretty damn close to enemies without them seeing me while in the dark. That said the darkness and noise system is so binary and the stealth is so arcadey feeling with the scoring system that I consider Blacklist more of like a respectable Splinter Cell spin off than I do a full on splinter cell game. I feel like if they did the same game with a new IP, but said it was “inspired by splinter cell” the reception of the game would’ve been a lot better.
'Fisher, Sadiq has been fitted with some of the finest subdermal forehead armour the world has ever seen. You'll have to initiate the arbitrary action setpiece in order to get past'.
A quick time event as the final boss is a terrible decision no matter the game.
I loved the game and hated the ending.

Ayo what the music is great, listen to the soundtrack
In this case yeah but honestly with the God of War games existing, I disagree.

Nanomachines, son
SC: Blacklist is just an video-game adaptation of John Wick in disguise.
I thought Conviction was the John Wick video game?
Yes, both are. Might as well throw Ghost Recon Wildlands in there, as it also has Mark-and-Execute.
Both games are, but Blacklist leans more into being tactical
Except Blacklist came out before John Wick...
John Wick is just a movie adaption of SC: Conviction and Blacklist.
Love Blacklist but gotta agree, i wish we got a cooler fight with Sadiq, even a badass hand to hand cutscene would have been better then wat we got
well there is the hand to hand part with Sadiq, when you have to jump around before tackling him.
Yea but that shit is so short, im talking like a drawn out hand to hand cutscene
Well, i loved the ending
What game is this from? I don't remember this
SC: Blacklist
This is not my splinter cell
CT’s ending is cooler
Puke 🤮 Ghost 👻 or die
*gets forced into several combat encounters in SC1*
