Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Supposed to be the last but one episode of an awesome game-series, the story among Sam Fisher continues in a very uncommon way.
96 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Instead of this game, you just as well can play "The Division" and "The Division 2"...similar gameplay, better story, missions etc., maybe this one was like a hidden "beta" for some approaches, that were used in these 2 games.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
I think this game is worth it now for the £8.99 it's listed for but there's not really any replayability outside of Deniable Ops (which is a pretty good mode, and a good way to squeeze some extra hours out of Conviction) and the now non-functional co-op campaign, compared to prior titles which offered alternate routes and reasons to constantly replay them this is a bit of a letdown.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
Native controller support is included, but you must enable it manually and fix the inverted axes with a community layout. 16:9 is the correct aspect ratio - 16:10 stretches the image slightly.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
- halfway nice visuals on high details, referring to the age of the game;

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Voice acting is still fantastic, with Micheal Ironside still giving all he got as Sam.
