Thief vs Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Thief
Thief is a stealth-based RPG where you assume the role of the Master Thief, Garrett. Although he has been relying on his skills to survive so far, the revolution that threatens to break the gates, unleashing a bitter and bloody conflict between the upper classes and the common folk, will upend his life and force him to finally choose a side. With Garrett's wide arsenal of skills and tools at your disposal, you'll need to covertly infiltrate mansions, sneak across rofftops, and take out unwitting guards quickly and silently. The AI in the game is rather clever as well and are very well-aware of their surroundings, giving the game a higher degree of difficulty than you might expect.Every aspect in the game caters to the art of stealth, be it sneaking along a wall or quietly wringing a poor guard's neck. So, if you enjoy stealth-based games, you'll definitely love Thief.
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.
