I’ve played 2, contracts, blood money on loop. Absolutely nothing beats these games for pure sandbox level fun. Its all iconic and i know the perfect silent assassin route through every level organically through my own discovery with no guides.
I played these games hundreds of times over. Fuck absolution. Also i love splinter cell it peaked at chaos theory the absolute best shader model 3.0 game ever to exist
I think Blood Money was the peak of that era. Though I’d argue the post-Absolution series is even better. It has the same core mechanics of the earlier games with everything scaled up.
