What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Splinter Cell: Deathwatch moves briskly from covert infiltrations to firefights and close-quarters combat, with sleek, kinetic animation giving each shift a sharp physical edge. Stealth and gadgets share space with blunt violence; the espionage is tense and hard-edged rather than playful. A continuous storyline carries the missions forward, letting double-crosses and escalating revelations expose the conspiracy piece by piece.

Sam Fisher’s weathered experience contrasts with the eagerness of the young recruit he mentors. Their mentor-student bond adds a human dimension to the covert work, pairing a near-mythic reputation with someone still learning the craft. Alongside the action, that difference in experience gives the story a relationship to develop as the danger grows.

After her lover is murdered by members of London's underworld, a spy - who is publicly the wife of the British Defence Secretary - is protected by an old friend from their agency.

Why this pick

The sharp spycraft, sudden violence, and guarded partnerships in Splinter Cell: Deathwatch carry over to Black Doves, with dry humor cutting through the danger. Deathwatch centers on a veteran guiding a recruit, while Black Doves gives its London spy and assassin friend a long history full of loyalty and old hurts.

In 2052, an emergency task force is assembled when a miracle cure is hijacked for purging populations.

Why this pick

Splinter Cell: Deathwatch and Lazarus share sleek adult animation, brisk missions, and action that keeps danger close. Deathwatch builds tension around stealth and a veteran’s uneasy mentorship, while Lazarus sends a mismatched team through chases and fights in a stylish near-future world, with more banter between its set pieces.
