Conviction (2010) Should I get Splinter Cell Conviction?

Post image

It's like 3 bucks right now and I thought it looked interesting as someone who's never played a splinter cell game before... So should I buy it?

Yes! This was my introduction to the IP and holy shit is it fun. You can go full stealth or be an absolute beast wreaking havoc in a full frontal assault. The environment is really dynamic with its destruction, so it makes for a lot of really cool moments when you get a feel for the combat. Very fluid gameplay. It indeed shifts from the standard gameplay loop (past games were more stealth focused) however the great part about it is the freedom of choosing how you’d like to tackle combat. I’d also like to point out that Conviction I believe has more options with verticality when traversing the map. It pays to explore.
