Well considering it was actually balanced on the hardest difficulty which has no assists and I even played it without using cover-to-cover (i.e. essentially short distance sprinting without making sound) and it worked out fine, it did extremely well considering what normally happens to stealth franchise hit by the AAA stick.That's not saying much tho.</Derrick>
But yeah, if you have an interest in Blacklist get it for half-off right now if you plan to play it now. It was the surprise of last year in that Ubisoft didn't completely fuck it up like they did Conviction. But the "stealth" needs a little more work in getting where it could be AMAZING.
I won't argue that it feels too easy if you don't purposely restrict yourself to not using too many gadgets/mark&execute/assists but the fact it fundamentally works without all the stuff they added onto it is fantastic.
