Is it still worth playing?

Ubisoft Toronto's 2013 stealth action adventure, the seventh Splinter Cell and a sequel to Splinter Cell: Conviction. You play Sam Fisher, an operative of the Fourth Echelon, on a mission to stop the Engineers, a group of terrorists trying to force the United States to recall all its troops from abroad. It is a third person game that combines action and stealth, so you can approach objectives in different ways. You can finish levels unnoticed by taking cover or scaling ledges, or kill enemies, though others are alerted when they see the bodies, which you can hide. Fisher can destroy nearby lights to make a dark environment, and you can play a more aggressive run and gun game with gadgets and weapons, using ledges and zip lines to move around. Each level can still be played as the kind of operative you want, between silence and aggression.
