    Better than seggs. My favorite of the Splinter Cell series. Not as stealth focused as the previous entries but still a very enjoyable action/stealth game in 2022

    Nisam impresioniran nimalo iskreno, cak mi je bilo dosadno na trenutke, stealth je budjav nacisto i ne koristan tako da ono, nikad vise.

    the fun that this game gave me was the same as the blacklist the difference is that the maps are different. I like the destruction of scenery using an enemy

    Splinter Cell: Conviction is not a bad game, but not a very good one either.

I feel its the more mature fisher I seen, the way he talks is so badass and he is so violent in this game, makes you feel so powerful taking down thugs and 3rd echelon elite forces along the game. Its short but I think this games are meant to be that way. Im reviewing this on 2021 because when the game released on xbox was awful. My PC was not powerful enough back then, now that I have a high end rig Im going back to Roots to enjoy & review classics like these. Solid 10 its just a BLAST!!!… Expand

    Decent action game, very poor Splinter Cell. It has nothing in common with original trilogy which is a shame.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Una maravilla de juego para los fans como yo de splinter cell, me gusto mucho el cambio del juego y enfocarse mas en la historia de nuestro espia favorito sam fisher, la histria mecanicas y efectos te sorprenden y en enganchan hasta el final y lo malo es que cuando lo acabas de dan ganas de continuar, este juego empieza con el final y a medida que vas avanzando te devuelven por un momento al final mediante cinematicas y te vuelven a pasar al pasado, lo mejor es que la hija de sam, sara fisher esta viva y eso como deberia pasarnos a todos los fans es lo mejor que le podia pasar a nuestro personaje destrozado por la perdida de su hija, recomendado no lo siguiente, en mi opinion es mejor que cualquier exclusivo de cualquier consola que exista, pero puede que sea por ser demasiado fanatico, mea culpa. :)… Expand

    They basically turned what used to be a game about meticulous execution of stealth tactics into "run and go guns blazing".
    As a standalone title it's actually a fun game, but too bad it runs like **** even in 2020.

    A decent, solid, nice stealth game. Although by no means a Chaos Theory, if you stop thinking of it as a Splinter Cell game and just another stealth game, it's fun to play. Sadly, the PC version is an obvious console port, with amazingly clunky controls and lack of refined graphics. Although the gameplay makes up for it somewhat, it does not by any means remedy this problem.

    Conviction isnt a particularly good stealth game cuz mechanics are quite dumbed down, all you have are lethal kills, you cant do non lethal takedowns, you cant move away bodies so they wouldnt get spotted. Shooting controls are pretty unpolished, all the time i was struggling to get a good aim from cover, cuz the reticule shifts away when you wanna get a headshot and makes you miss a lotConviction isnt a particularly good stealth game cuz mechanics are quite dumbed down, all you have are lethal kills, you cant do non lethal takedowns, you cant move away bodies so they wouldnt get spotted. Shooting controls are pretty unpolished, all the time i was struggling to get a good aim from cover, cuz the reticule shifts away when you wanna get a headshot and makes you miss a lot alerting enemies of whom some can survive several shots to the head. Maybe not an issue on game pad with its aim assist, but serious one on mouse + kboard if youre playing without hand holding.

    Its also not a worthwhile action game, if you want to go guns blazing, and anyways there are sections in game where its demanded from you to kill everyone to proceed, it doesnt feel that satisfying, guns have piss poor range, aiming gets inprecise as you fire several rounds, and if you aim down sights frame rate drops making it hard to hit what you want. Movement can be clunky, entering, exiting sprint can cause issues.

    And the story is not that all interesting either, i barely followed whats going on. But atleast overall presentation is pretty good, apart from gimmicky black/white screen effect when you enter darkness, plus game doesnt run all that well on PC.

    Overall its not bad as some make it look, there are quite a few gripes with it but overall its an OK game, its still decent fun when game works more like a standard stealth game with more open levels and required stealth approach.    … Expand

    Not as mediocre as I thought it would be - it's ok.
    Yes, there is a lot of bland cover based shooting and not enough sneaking, but it did not bother me too much. The single-player story is like a typical action movie - sweeping soundtrack, big scripted set pieces, fancy cinematics, implausible but gripping plot, and a bit too short. It was a bit confusing and difficult to follow, but    Not as mediocre as I thought it would be - it's ok.

It was a bit confusing and difficult to follow, but that's no big deal.

    Gameplay is solid but a bit formulaic, with tight linear levels lacking multiple approaches, and dumb AI that would do well to eat more carrots (they can't see in the dark). The stealth mechanics based around shadows and “last known position” work fairly well, but are a bit too arcade for my tastes. Multiplayer matchmaking is dead, which is sad as co-op missions seem like fun.

    As for those who keep saying this is much worse than the old games like Chaos theory, I slightly disagree, its not significantly better or worse. I am ok with the slightly more streamlined and faster paced direction they have taken, the difference is not as big as many make it out to be.

    As a console port, this is fairly good. There is sadly a checkpoint save system, but it is not as bad as in many other games. Otherwise, there are enough settings, no mouse acceleration and skippable cutscenes. On a geeky side note: the unreal engine used here is excellent as usual (allowing me to sleep my pc while fullscreen and later resume right back into the game in 1 sec).

    Worth getting in a sale.    … Expand

    UPDATE: and it happened. After going throug the same sh.t for 20 times, listening the same stupid conversation that can't be skipped, I uninstalled this piece of crap from my computer and I won't install any other from the series till I know that there is a savegame feature. In this form this is just utter waste of time.

    Hands down the worst Splinter Cell game out there.

    Cons: - The game consists of going from point A to point B mindlessly killing enemies (heck, it's even worse, you can even COMPLETELY SKIP the firefights, just run like mad and wait for a checkpoint to pop up, suddenly enemies are no longer chasing you). - Levels are absolutely linear, no exploration to speak of, no computers to hack,    Hands down the worst Splinter Cell game out there.

    - Levels are absolutely linear, no exploration to speak of, no computers to hack, no side objectives, nothing.
    - The game is way too short, just 11 levels, about 20-30 minutes long each depending on play style and difficulty. This could arguably be a "pro" due to the repetitive nature of the game.

    Pros:
    - Graphics are nice, although you get some weird slowdowns even with a modern GPU, it looks like the game is quite CPU dependant.
    - Soundtrack and audio effects are decent, although for some reason your weapons sound really weak.
    - No graphic glitches or major bugs on PC (unlike all previous games in the series, except Chaos Theory).

    The game is essentially a third rate cover shooter with the Splinter Cell name and characters/back story stuck in there for no good reason. I give it a 4 because at least it's playable, stable and has nice graphics, but by the end of the game you'll just be wishing for it to end. Luckily it's mercifully short.    … Expand

    A great game that concludes one of my favorite series. While I understand why people dislike it, I adored it from start to finish. It's all about Sam in the end, and the gameplay change definitely fits it in that regard. The man has had enough and is at his peak physically and mentally.

The man has had enough and is at his peak physically and mentally. He simply doesn't care anymore and wants it all behind him. Micheal Ironside gives his best performance yet, and with some really great level and sound design (Amon Tobin never ceases to amaze), it's quite memorable in parts. The coop is also brilliant and incredibly fun with a friend.

    It isn't nearly as stealthy as its predecessors, but that doesn't mean there isn't any stealth, and it's by far a 'very bad Splinter Cell game'. Playing Chaos Theory, Double Agent and Conviction back to back is an absolutely solid video game experience. Don't miss it.    … Expand

    Conviction appeals to a whole new crowd that grew up on creating distractions, using every single gadget in their inventory and dragging bodies into shadows. If Conviction is evidence of where Ubisoft is taking the series, they are about to win over a lot of new fans and potentially upset a portion of those already loyal.

    I have no problem recommending Conviction to anyone who enjoys the Splinter Cell series or third person action/stealth games in general. I would have loved a much longer and more involved campaign, but the additional modes (including a separate co-op campaign) go a long way in making up for that.
