An Overlooked Stealth Gem is on Sale this Week for Xbox Owners

Stealth fans have been somewhat starved of really great experiences as of late, with some of gaming’s more notable sneaking simulators enduring long hiatuses. Assassin’s Creed: Mirage is a throwback to that era of sneaky stabbing, but a truly military-style stealth game has been long overdue.

Well, it doesn’t seem like we’re getting the long-awaited Splinter Cell remake anytime soon, but the good news is that Splinter Cell: Blacklist, one of the most overlooked and underappreciated games in the franchise, is on sale this week.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist, while taking a more cinematic approach to the series, is an absolute blast, taking everyone’s goggle-toting Sam Fisher on a globe-spanning adventure, where you’re tasked with infiltrating mansions, enemy bases, and Middle Eastern hideouts, all while indulging in some truly epic espionage action.

Ubisoft aimed to give players much more freedom with Blacklist, allowing you to fully customise your loadout before each mission, which play out like sandbox experiences, allowing you to sneak, shoot, or tackle the obstacles in front of you in different ways or order.

Even though it’s a 2013 Xbox 360 game, Splinter Cell: Blacklist has aged incredibly well and it’s hard not to recommend given that it’s on sale for R59.70 for GamePass owners.
