Yes, I have been waiting for this game for a long time, the next part of Splinter Cell, I hoped that the developers would be able to return the former spirit of the series. Yes, they succeeded, but not fully, partially. Something is still missing.
Plot. It is too simple, not much different from the plot of some “Die Hard” (although I myself have not watched a single film from this series). No mystery, mystery, like in "Chaos Theory".
Gameplay. The developers were too lazy to make a new engine, and they tried to build on the skeleton of the “convoy” all the best things that were in the series. Yes, there is a lot of stealth here, and this is pleasing; the variety of gadgets and weapons is amazing, which was not the case even in Conviction. They decided to cram everything that could be crammed into it: stealth, action, a bunch of gadgets/weapons, a flying base, a bunch of side quests, co-op, version, they wanted to please everyone, both old-school fans and newcomers unfamiliar with old SC. As a result, not everyone was pleased.
Soundtrack Here, like in Conviction, it is not memorable at all, sometimes it seems that it does not exist at all. I only remember the track from the pause menu.
Graphics Compared to Conviction, the difference is small, but, in my opinion, it looks at least good.
Good, but not great, so 8.5 out of 10
