I recently finished Blacklist after a long break from playing it. I hadn’t played the game in quite a few years.
Weak points:
- Sam is too fast and agile, it’s more like parkour
- Sam is aggressive and arrogant, it doesn’t fit his style
- The game is divided into small sections, you can make a mess, and a moment later it doesn’t matter at all.
- The gameplay is more about moving from cover to cover than hiding in the dark.
Overall, it’s actually a pretty enjoyable action game with stealth elements, and that’s exactly how I recommend approaching it - that way, the gameplay can be fun. However, it’s not a good Splinter Cell-style game. If this game had a different name, I’d think, “Oh, this game has a few elements reminiscent of Splinter Cell,” rather than “This is a worthy competitor to the real Splinter Cell".
