Anthem vs Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Anthem
Anthem is an upcoming, team-based (up to 4 players) action-RPG where you play as a futuristic pioneer called Freelancers, the courageous few who dared to venture out into a gorgeous open world to explore uncharted areas and take on any danger, be it dangerous alien beasts or merciless marauders, they encounter stoically. Wearing the multi-functional and incredibly useful Javelin exosuit, you'll not only get access to the suit's many weapons and abilities, you can even fly, leap, and climb. The world is very dynamic as well, featuring world-changing phenomena like Shaper Storms or other decision-driven world events that spice up the gameplay by a fair bit. There are tons of hidden secrets for you to discover as well.Anthem is slated to be released during fall of 2018. The game will be available on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist is the latest game under the Splinter Cell franchise and it is possibly the best one yet. As opposed to the more disappointing Conviction, Blacklist manages to combine the best of both the original and Conviction titles and added in all the features that players have complained the sequel lacked, including actual stealth-based gameplay where you can avoid an enemy instead of forcing you to engage him, as well as performing non-lethal takedowns.As usual, you'll have access to an arsenal of impressive gadgets which does make your job a whole lot easier, but this time around, certain unique enemies are able to counter your devices, forcing you to come up with new alternative plans rather than simply sticking to the "distract-and-take out" routine. This is very unlike Conviction where the gadgets had made the game too easy.
The storyline is also pretty good since the protagonist, Sam Fisher, now has free reign to do what it takes to take down a group of terrorists called The Engineers and their ultimate terror attack plan to launch escalating attacks on US interests around the world, codenamed Blacklist. Your mission? Flush out their leader and take him down.
Aside fromt he campaing, the game has cooperative missions that you can play with friends online as well. However, the servers have long since been taken down and thus, you either have to play those coop missions alone - it's possible, thankfully - or you can try LAN.
