What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Shooter game (about 6 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.
Holding it back

Estimated: no length in our data yet
Reviews72% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Length unknownNo verified $/hr
No length in our data yet, so the biggest driver can't be verified. A heavy dock until it is
For context
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
Refunds24 of 800 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

More about Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction™

83 on Metacritic, 72 percent from players. A gap this way round is usually launch damage or a slow decline.

24 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2022 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,422 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 283 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 36 percent of the 832 reviews written there were positive, against 72 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it.

No data upstream: length (HowLongToBeat), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).
