Dishonored 2 vs Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Dishonored 2
Dishonored 2 lets you reprise your role as THE supernatural assassin but this time around, the game brings you to the once-amazing coastal city of Karnaca, where an otherworldly being has usurped Empress Emily Kaldwin's throne, throwing the fate of the Isles off-balance. The gameplay in Dishonored 2 has been greatly improved with the new Mark of the Outsider and a whole myriad of new powers along with a much advanced bonecharm crafting and upgrade trees, weapons and gadgets as well. Similar to the previous game, your actions during a mission will change the world around you and often results in different outcomes.Dishonored 2 was unfortunately plagued with performance issues during its release, and hence, the game has been overlooked by many. However, if you can forgive the downsides which are pretty much rectified over time with patches, the game is definitely a step-up from the original and is worth every cent you spent in buying it.
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.
