What do you get when you get a good story, but it's told as a picture book instead of describing things?
That's the kind of handholding that made splintercell easier than it should be. But none the less Conviction is a story for the boys who grew up through the years of SC. This IS you dad's Splintercell in story, but not mechanics.
Enviroment
So the environment is a very beautiful set-piece due to the lighting and the storytelling. When in the darkness you see everything in gray-scale except for important objects and Enemies This causes a really nice focusing tool. Objectives, storytelling, memories, all those things appear on the environment as well
RUN! IT'S FISHER!
You are the man the boogeyman's afraid of.
This game makes you the one everyone's afraid of, this game allows you to blend in, but stand out to those who are looking for you. They're afraid of you. You can make them nervous
"what do you think you're some sorta ninja? give me a break!" -said every nervous enemy before you pounce them
in classic SC fashion, the environment is your playground. Drop a chandelier on someone, blow up a generator, turn off the lights, kick down a door, wait for them to walk under the balcony you're hanging from. take a human shield, headshot.
The Story revolves around Archer and Kestrel, a Third Echelon Agent and Voron respectively.
You go around doing co-op based missions through multiple locations while getting the intel you can for your agency's own interests.
Your costumes with their custom upgrades will be accquired using points, and points get accquired through one of the biggest features of this game based on it's Montra

Open encounters.
if you aren't familiar with how most modern splintercell games go. think of it as a massive predator encounter from the Batman Arkham games, but the size of an entire level. In this game there is no diplomatic or non lethal option. You're Sam Fisher, you're angry, kick butt.
Soundtrack: While amazing as usual, I didn't find it as memorable. But the Conviction theme is a must-have for any ubisoft playlist.
Story
A retired Sam Fisher is being hunted after by Third Echelon (y'know, his old employer) He's retired because his daughter was killed by a drunk driver. Anna Grimsdottir is here to change hairdo and overall profile again. But she gives you help under the table as her hands are tied.
Andriy Kobin, the guy who hit Sarah (Sam's Daughter) is here too as a bad guy.
Deniable OPS
The Game's Co-op missions that CAN be played in singleplayer but remove all story from it.
This is a proving grounds, with gamemodes that rely on your best infiltration skills,even when this game works best if you're spotted at least once.
This is where you can customize an agent to hunt the baddies as.
You go around doing co-op based missions through multiple locations while getting the intel you can for your agency's own interests.
Your costumes with their custom upgrades will be accquired using points, and points get accquired through one of the biggest features of this game based on it's Montra
PREPARE AND EXECUTE.
The games biggest feature, while not the best part of it. Is its Prepare and Execute Challenges. Do things in game that are specifically tailored to be stealth or just boss.
Points will give you the ability to buy upgrades for guns and new guns. In addition you can upgrade those costumes for Deniable Ops.
FINAL MEASURES
While not as slow paced as early games, Nor as beautiful and modern as Blacklist.
