For me, the best Splinter Cell game alongside the first one.
1998
Great game all-around considering the year it released.
Not a bad game. Bayek is a cool main character, but it's the beginning of the terribly bloated open world RPG AC games, taking on the Ubisoft formula.
Good story and cool puzzles.

Ubisoft's open worlds look great. However, the content inside those open worlds though for many years have been so empty and devoid of anything apart from repetitive outpost clearing for a few minutes.
It's an RPG game but has very little to do with AC. The enemies were so annoyingly spongy that I turned down the difficulty just to get through fight quicker. The story wasn't that great (way too long) and it felt like it had more filler than Boruto. In fact the Fate of Atlantis DLC ended up being the actual reason the modern-day characters were there in the first place. I ended up enjoying the DLC more than the main game because whilst it wasn't perfect, it was way shorter, a smaller and more condensed map, and loved the aesthetics.
Overall it's just a very bland and grindy game which could've been much better had they made the game at least half the length, and you can use a big map as long as there's interesting things going on in it.

Fantastic gameplay and great story. One of the best stealth games I've played and for me remains as Arkane's best game.
2007
Great gameplay and enjoyed the humour.

Enjoyed this a lot. The aesthetics are well done, the movement and combat is very fluid and smooth.
Main issues though are the pretty uninteresting story (which isn't the worst as for me the gameplay itself was the main focus in something like this) and the pretty terrible boss fights. That being said, I wouldn't exactly know how to make good boss fights for this kind of game and it didn't take up massive parts of the game. Maybe more of the T-073-Ms and less of the others.

Decent for a 2008 game, but it's a horrible PC port.
Fantastic game, loved pretty much everything about it. The DLCs are also amazing. Only real minor issue I have is that the combat can be a bit clunky.
Good Souls-like shooter.
2016
Gameplay is still as good as the first game but the story was not nearly as interesting. Played as Emily as she was the canon choice.
Loved the story, the open world and the gameplay. Arthur's a great protagonist and I'll definitely replay it at some point while doing more of the side content.
Generally a pretty good game. Solid story but the gameplay was lacklustre and felt a bit repetitive at times.
It's fine. The story and environments were cool but the combat felt boring and my god what a terrible final boss.
