Me add offline mode me STOP CRASHING Go to properties General Tab then add this to Launch Options -offline -offline_mode It will stop the crashing every 30min. Don't expect any multiplayer or co-op as Ubisoft has already shutdown its blacklist servers back in October 2022 and this is also most probably the reason why the game crash every 20-30min.

How this game isn't in the conversation of "best stealth games of all time" is beyond me. It's not perfect, but man is Blacklist good. It captures a MGSV kind of approach to missions letting you range from silent ghost, to stalking panther, to full on assault. The plot is good enough - typical terrorist villain threatening America stuff without being too stereotypical - but it's done with some great writing and acting; the mission briefings alone get you pumped up to go on each mission. By today's standards the game feels slightly short, but a lot of that feeling comes from just wanting more of the excellent gameplay. You'll get a solid 20 hours out of the game just from completing all the solo missions available to you. Sadly, the multiplayer function is deceased, so the online modes and co-op missions are not available to play. I think the game could have done with 2 more story missions and another bundle of 3 side ops to round things out, but what is there is great regardless. Splinter Cell die-hards will moan about Sam Fisher being re-casted, but this isn't a Kiefer Sutherland type scenario, the new VA does a solid job for the more HBO styled drama on offer here. Preference may vary on how attached you are to Michael Ironside's voice from the rest of the series, but I think the change doesn't hurt the game - a lateral move in general. I can't stress enough how well this game finds ways to up the ante for each mission. Again, my only complaint is that I would have actually liked to see a couple more missions in the story for padding, a little breathing room as the narrative constantly ramps up. Again, the side ops help with that, but there aren't enough to prattle though to let you savour the game as much as you may want to. Lastly, Sam Fisher is a badass. Flat out. Some of the things he pulls off in this game had me giggling with excitement. His veteran presence in the story is well earned and there is never a doubt that Sam is "the guy." Amazing set pieces throughout leaves me howling for a sequel to one day happen. Don't let the "commercial flop" gossip fool you, this is a damn good game, one of the best stealth action games out there and over a decade later manages to impress. P.S. Be sure to add -offline in the launch options. (Right click on game in library, go to properties, launch options, type in "-offline" without the quotations. This will stop the game from crashing. I had no issues playing once I added this so you should be good to go.)

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist | ★★★☆☆ Half of the game's features no longer work, and the pre-recorded cutscenes are completely broken. There are also occasional crashes, especially when using thermal vision at the wrong time. On top of that, the Ubisoft launcher once again lives up to its reputation—forcing you to log in every time you launch the game. Fortunately, the game isn’t too long, and I enjoyed most of the campaign missions, even though they are quite linear. The core experience makes you feel like the ultimate modern assassin, backed by a high-tech, multi-billion-dollar operation. Unlike many modern games, especially open-world titles, Blacklist still nails the feeling of true stealth. In most open-world games, you can easily predict AI patterns once you notice their roaming area, making stealth feel less immersive. It would be great if they added achievements, as many optional missions would feel much more rewarding if they offered that extra incentive to complete them.
