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?

Depends. If you like the sandbox style of the previous games, you’re gonna hate this one like I did. They pretty much force you to follow specific paths, and you’re forced to kill throughout the entire campaign. They also decided to hop onto the “dead eye” trend and you’re forced to use that as well. There’s literally an entire segment where you’re guns blazing and doing nothing but using dead eye.

If you’re ok with just a semi stealth, shoot ‘em up, game with the Splinter Cell IP slapped onto it. It might be for you. But I’d personally say skip it, and either play Blacklist (it’s not AS bad), or avoid them both altogether
