Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Choosing between three distinct playstyle routes through consistent guard layouts for optimal SMI scores.
Here's the argument for where this game sits - written by a language model against our framework. Disagree freely.

the cheat-test profile
The four axes - the argument
Each axis is rated on its own - how far one cheat would trivialize the game here. They don't trade off; low on all four means the game is an experience, not a contest.
Execution
cheat: Aimbot - perfect inputs
6/10Mark-and-execute and fast takedowns raise the physical ceiling
Reads
cheat: Out-predict an adaptive opponent
1/10Enemies react on scripted alert logic, not player-specific profiling
Variance
cheat: See what's hidden / map the RNG
2/10Patrol density and item placement are consistent across runs
Optimization
cheat: A perfect solver / coach
7/10SMI scoring system incentivises optimal ghost, panther, or assault routing
How to read this
Each axis is named by the cheat that would break the game along it. Execution is the hands. Reads is out-thinking an adaptive opponent. Variance is hidden information & RNG. Optimization is the solvable systems layer. A game's region is the top one or two axes.
These four aren't one rating split four ways - they're independent 0-10 questions. A 9 on one axis takes nothing from the others, and a game low on all four isn't missing data: it's telling you there's no skill here to cheat.
The basis is how the majority actually plays this game - not a niche mode or a personal run. For a game with very different modes (a story campaign versus ranked multiplayer), that's the version most people mean.
