Metro: Last Light vs Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Metro: Last Light
Metro: Last Light is the sequel to a rather popular, post-apocalyptic themed, first-person action-shooter game series, Metro. It's the year 2034 now and humanity - what's left of it anyway - is still fighting to eke out a living and also survive the mutants that are roaming a devastated Moscow, above and below ground. Your group of survivors is running low on supplies and the resources you can scavenge is getting scarcer everyday, but the D6 bunker your group has found might contain enough supplies to last you for years.Unfortunately, the other factions are well-aware of the bunker's existence as well, and an all-out war is about to erupt over the last possible huge cache of supplies left in Moscow. With such a gripping story as a foundation, Metro: Last Light has an atmosphere that is truly immersive and a gameplay that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Will your group survive the impending war? Or will the remnants of humanity crumble to dust?
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.
