Deus Ex: Mankind Divided vs Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is the highly anticipated sequel in the Deus Ex franchise. The game is very similar to its predecessors in many ways - you still get to make important, story-changing decisions, meet some interesting characters, have fun with a wide range of augments, and enjoy an amazing stealth-based gameplay. That said, it does have some unique aspects like overloading your augs, though personally, I don't bother to use it; and also the revamped hacking system. I also like the game's loading screen when you're supposedly travelling from one location to another. It's a very nice touch.However, many fans are rather disappointed with the story and side missions in this game. Some are pretty good and well-fleshed out admittedly, but many of them seem to not have any effect on the game or the storyline itself... like mere fillers. Most of the characters that you meet in this game is a lot less important than before as well.
Apparently, the game was also cut down to meet the launch deadline, and this makes the game feel incomplete to some extent. Although this game seems to fall short for many fans of the game, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is still a pretty good sequel especially for players who are in for the action and well, part of the storyline. For the other part, you'll just have to wait for its DLCs.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction is the first sequel to the Splinter Cell game series. Featuring an epic continuation of the plot, this game puts you once again into the shoes of Sam Fisher, a former secret operative of the NSA's Third Echelon who turned renegade when he find himself betrayed by the very agency he spilled his blood for. In addition to having your colleagues from the Third Echelon hot on your tail, you have to race to foil a devastating terrorist plot that will cost millions of innocent lives.This game has stepped up its game by offering a host of improvements ranging from better and admittedly cooler arsenal to aid you in your mission, a more gripping storyline that will keep you on the edge of your seat, and best of all, the newly added multiplayer function that allows you to play with friends.
However, the game has definitely not aged well and plenty of players have reported problems when trying to run the game on current systems. Not to mention, the game seems to have set aside its stealth-heavy approach and opt for a more instinctive cover-and-shoot system. This is still good and all if the cover system is actually needed to play the game - it's not.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction may not be what many have expected it to be but it still has one hell of a storyline. Oh and don't forget to make sure the game works on your system before the refund period ends!
