8 Things We Dearly Miss About The Original Splinter Cell Trilogy
3. The Gadgets
Above all else Splinter Cell is a stealth game, so having options to make sneaking around more engaging should always be a focus. Thankfully this has always been the case.
Some of its classic gadgets are now synonymous with the stealth genre itself, and seeing the expanded bag of tricks Fisher ultimately has is great.
These tools give the player a lot of options for both lethal and non lethal playthroughs, as well as often handing them situational control, which makes the games infinitely more interesting.
The endless fun gadgets shows that stealth games are so much more than just hiding in dark corners, and given the subtle delivery and clever story consequences, how they're often more tense.
The gadgets in Splinter Cell give Fisher an ability to play with the environment, but above all else they breathe life and fun into each level which certainly broadens the appeal of the stealth genre.
