    As compared to brotherhood, there may not be many new things added to the game. There's the hook blade and bomb crafting which are both excellent.

Apart from these there have been many tweaks, but they are all minor. It feels and plays just like Brotherhood. This is the ONLY flaw in the game. The game is terrific in all departments. The Story is the best I've ever heard. It's absolutely stellar. There are a lot of moments in the game that quite frankly WILL take your breath away and leave you with goosebumps. Storytelling has been improved by miles and the cinematic cut scenes are excellent. Ubisoft has done a great job in tying up all the main characters together and the story really comes together in the end. A perfect goodbye to Altair and Ezio Auditore. Their stories are legendary, they are an inspiration and they will never be forgotten. Ending could not be more perfect. It's explained perfectly and really stirs up a lot of excitement for what's to come ahead. Assassin's Creed Revelations : "Checkmate. Your Move Assassin's Creed III." Expand

    After the terrible slip that was Brotherhood, comes Revelations to repair the franchise's dignity. Revelations is superior to its predecessor in every regard, rivaling AC and AC:2 in what each does best, while doing so much more.

    After the terrible slip that was Brotherhood, comes Revelations to repair the franchise's dignity. Revelations is superior to its predecessor in every regard, rivaling AC and AC:2 in what each does best, while doing so much more.

    The first thing you'll notice about this game is that everything looks much, much better than in Brotherhood. Konstatinople rivals Venice as the most colourful location in any AC game, as do all of the secondary locations. Just as importantly, the city is a pleasure to navigate through, not just visually but also in terms of layout and freerunning paths. The features that allow for Ezio's stunts are not only convenient, but also look natural in their environment. This is something I couldn't say since the original AC.

    The writing is as good as it has ever been. Unlike Brotherhood, Revelations is story-driven rather than a big collection of purposeless sidequests. Not that there are no sidequests to distract you, but they are much sparser and, frankly, I didn't miss them at all. The storytelling in this game is the richest and most colourful to date. Rather than throwing around faceless characters, just to name-drop a historical figure, AC:R takes a bit of time to develop some likable characters. This title takes it upon itself to patch the AC storyline, which by that point was stretched thin and made less and less sense.
    I think that a concise background story and motives for Desmond were way overdue.

    In terms of fighting mechanics, Revelations is a marginal improvement over Brotherhood. Your assassin helpers are not as overpowered, and the use of camera feels less broken than in Brotherhood. Still, it doesn't seem that brilliant mechanics of the original AC will be making a comeback any time soon.

    Revelations is not without fault. The unbeatable Janissaries that patrol parts of the city are an unpleasant encounter. The tower defense minigame is out of place. And the navigation puzzles you are expected to solve while getting Desmond's story felt are completely pointless. Seriously, it would have been better to just let us hear the story and admire the surreal environment.

    Still, all things considered, AC:Revelations is the best AC so far.

    This game is very good, it definitely didn't let me down from the last one, The hook-blade is a very good idea, i like that they changed up the menu, and the storyline just gets better. This game is a great game and anyone who says it isn't is just a silly goober

    Overall i think the game was a great improvement from its predecessor (Brotherhood). One of the features that i like about this game is how you are able to travel to places much quicker than before, due to the fact that you can glide over rooftops, fast travel, etc.

    The graphic details improved a lot as well, where the textures and models are more detailed than before. Like all games,

    The graphic details improved a lot as well, where the textures and models are more detailed than before. Like all games, this should always happen where every year the game improves in graphic quality and this game fulfilled it.

    The new features of weapons/items makes it more easier to play. One of these items would be a grenade that you throw to wipe out a crowd of enemies. There are more features, that you should find that out yourself. The story line is also as good as older Assassins Creed series, bring rich and full fulling experience. This is a game that should be played, if you haven't played any Assassins Creed, i suggest you to start from AC2 and start up.

    Fantastic sequel, i do not understand why players are hating this game, It is the lead out of Ezio and Altair so you can expect the next installment to be about Desmond which will open a lot more possibilities to the Ubisoft team.

The game: The story is very holding and gripping, you as Ezio mostly, discover the story behind Altair and what happened to him at the end of Assassin's Creed, Gameplay: Free running is just as good as the first 3 installments with the added Hookblade for more fun, the fighting is better as you don't feel too much like a bad ass in this one as you're older and its good to feel that Ezio has his limits, Training and using your own assassins in this one has been improved, giving them certain areas to hold once you have levelled them high enough.
    Same things to do as before, defeat the Borgia in areas of the city with the added ability to lose these areas and having to fight off the Borgia or to regain the area later on. The graphics are as amazing as they have always been and the Story is fantastic, my only quarrel with this installment is, not enough side missions to keep you going. Ubisoft need to stop focusing on the Multiplayer side of the game and focus more on the game, it needs to be bigger an needs to be longer.

    Oh and haters. GET A BETTER COMPUTER, stop moaning about graphic issues with games that demand the use of a decent GPU, throw down your cheap Dell laptops and buy a console if you want to play the games half as good as the PC version.

    Assassin's Creed Revelations is basically more of the same, so lets head for the review it self.
    Evaluation Method > Graphics,Gameplay, Story and Soundtrack & Effects.
    Graphics: Nothing new here, aside from some improvement in the lightning and tone mapping but nothing significant. It's funny how the graphics of the first Assassin's Creed with DX10 are still the best among the series.

    Graphics: Nothing new here, aside from some improvement in the lightning and tone mapping but nothing significant. It's funny how the graphics of the first Assassin's Creed with DX10 are still the best among the series. Bottom line, the graphics are good but do not improve significantly from Brotherhood. Graphics Grade 7/10
    Gameplay: The gameplay remains as good as it used to be, combat is very centered in the counter kill system which works good but is not perfect, in the end the hookblade was an not so important addition as the game sells it. Gameplay Grade 8.5/10
    Story: I'll try not to spoil anything here by just saying: there are three storylines, one with Desmond, one with Ezio and a minor one with Altair, Altair and Ezio's stories are very well explained but Desmond's is very badly explained. Story Grade 8/10
    Soundtrack & Effects: So the sound effects are extremely good in some parts but very cheap in others, basically not so well developed.The soundtrack on the other hand is great through the game even though there parts without any, basically if you liked the previous games soundtracks you'll enjoy Revelations. Soundtrack & Effects Grade 8/10

    So Assassin's Creed Revelations > Final Grade: 7.87/10 which means 8/10.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I liked this game but.....
    It seems like Ubisoft is going for the crappy set piece moments (Thanks COD>:() and doing the release every year and do little changes. Me personally I HATED Brotherhood I couldn't like it. This game fairs better, the hook blade is awesome, the kill moves are crazy, the story is good, and characters are better. My favorite: Altiar came back with a different voice actor (not happy about that) but I felt connected to the characters, I was sad when I witnessed Altiars final moments knowing that I was him back in 2007 and like 4 hours ago but a younger version of him. I was also way more connected to Ezio like in 2009 in assassins creed 2. The multiplayer is WAY better, there are not clones everywere (thank god) if you see a person that looks like the person in the picture its them. Customization is great. This is a good game but at certain moments forgets to be assassins creed like in demonds journey (side missions) they are unlocked through finding collectibles and are annoying puzzles (its first person), its got a little bit of a portal theme (not as fun as portal) Why can't we just learn about him? Why do we have to go through these annoying puzzles? The tower defense is fun but clunky. This game is great but has flaws.

    Well, I've been expecting very much of this game. The storyline of the game is quite out of expectations than the other series. Something that shouldn't happen happens, and it injects the sensation into most players.

Something that shouldn't happen happens, and it injects the sensation into most players. And the word "revelations", is the key for players, but recommend to finish all other series before AC Revelations in order to completely understand the whole story. Altair learned of the past and the future, of life and death through the Apple. And players learn moral values and minds through the game. The real thing is, not only Ezio and Altair conduit the message to Desmond, but also through Desmond to players. Players will have to think deeply and they will get it. The soundtracks are also awesome as usual. Some are spiritual inspiring and some are cultural feel. The environment of the world is slightly different than the other series. For example, you get near to a soldier, they won't simply push you away. And if you pushed somebody accidentally, they would apologize too. And with Assassins and Templar Den, this cause a war that never ends in the game. The features are also slightly different. You can choose primary and secondary weapon to use them without wasting time. It also has variety of new combat techniques and slow motion camera. What makes a disappointment is that the Animus Virtual Training program has changed into a worse way. The training only allow you to play with specific requirements, unlike in AC Brotherhood that has lesser limitations. And there's no horse riding available in the game. It's worth if you are very interested with the story. But it would be better if you learn something in it, either changing to a better mind or combat. Expand

    This game is well made but did not reveal much. We did get to know what happened to Altair after the first Assassins Creed, but otherwise not so revealing as it promised. I like how much they added with the Brotherhood of Assassins in this game, ibut some of the texture flaws in this game make it annoying and irritable. But is still is fun. I like it, 9 out of 10.

    For my the animation of the characters was perfectly synced and the levels and areas looked absolutely amazing, I won't go into it so as to spoil game play but trust me on highest gfx they are amazing. The gfx are a lot higher than Brotherhood when you play it. The have really thought about the small bits and their texturing which they didn't in Brotherhood.

    I like the combat as well and actually the enemies are quite a bit harder now, in Brotherhood I could actually get bored on a mission where Ezio was outnumbered, this game I was on an apprentice mission and I actually got so massively outnumbered I had no choice but to leg it, awesome!

    The jumping is actually a little more refined too, I have push Ezios new jumping to the limits and I have noticed they have touched that since Brotherhood too.

    Of course this game has the most amazing ending fight and scene, again no spoilers.

    I gotta admit I didn't enjoy the tower mini-games but that was really the only flaw I could find.

    Ezio is also not so OP (killstreaks in brotherhood was like press a button and watch those 10 enemies day in a nice sequence) and there are new fighting moves. Oh and there are bombs - instead of smoke bomb now we can handcraft many diffrent bombs. Some of them are very usefull other just suck.
    The graphics are exacly same like in Brotherhood. I'm kinda dissapointed with bug that this game has. I didn't find any bugs in AC 2 or Brotherhood but in this game there are tons of minor bugs. If you want a 100 % polished game then wait till it's patched.

    Although some animations are a bit dodgy and the game looks like it was copy pasted from Brotherhood, I still enjoyed the new aspects of it and the story. I still believe it would be much better for Ubisoft to strive to make really good games and take their time instead of trying to release a new game every year. Sure they get richer, but I'm looking for quality, not quantity.

The story is short and does no justice to Ezio as a character. It does not emphasize his age as it hinted at in Brotherhood, and overall adds to depth to the character, making him boring to play with. Altair on the other hand, is a absolute blast to play with. The sequences in which you play with him are some of the most memorable and exciting sequences yet in the AC series. They also add a huge amount of depth and awe to the Altair character. The biggest problem with this game is the lack of improvements. Bomb making and a hookblade aren't enough to make a whole new game. Additions I did like were obviously the Altair missions, the master assassin missions, and believe it or not, the Desmond memories. While the controls are extremely stiff, only allowing you to move in 8 directions, they are a fun change of pace and its nice to see more of Desmond. Additions I didn't like: The God-awful den defense, the lack of optional "armor tombs", the new characters (Yusuf is a terrible boring character, but Sophia is good, decent at least, the bad guys were just boring and had no depth), in fact the only character I really "liked" was Abbas, from the Altair missions. I say "like" because I had such a burning hatred for him that I haven't felt in a character since Skylar from Breaking Bad, but he was still a good antagonist. I never thought I would say this about an Assassins Creed game but despite its lack of huge changes, was the multiplayer. All the AC games I have played I always return them after I am done with the story and have all the collectibles, but this game, had me hooked from the first time brutally impaled a man with my spear (that's what he said). The game features new great modes like corruption, and it is 2011 multiplayer experience of the year for me. I honestly havent had that much fun in multiplayer since May, playing black ops with my buddies. Overall, this game is getting unjustly bashed, it is a worthy entry into the series, somewhat disappointing nonetheless, and it is worth your money. Even if you are not interested in the multiplayer, I insist you try it out. Expand

    Assassin's Creed Revelations, the new installment in the Assassin's Creed franchise promises us to be a better game. But is it a better game than it's predecessor, Brotherhood?

One flaw in this category is that I still want to hear the shiiiiing* sound when you do a high-profile assasination like in Assassin's Creed II. The gameplay is similar to Brotherhood, albeit with new moves thanks to the hookblade. Also the combat is similar to Brotherhood but it has new finishing moves. The plot is interesting and kept me tied to my chair refusing to let the game rest for more than 2 minutes. The apprentice and Mediterranian defense are also a big plus, I like the idea to conquer then try to maintain the city, not to mention the BOMBS. HOW COOL IS THAT??? You have your personal grenades ready to unleash hell on your opponents. But then again no game is without flaws, and this game has one or two. First of all the Den Defense, I expected it to be Ezio vs 100 templars, not a tower defense game. I'm not saying it is bad, maybe some might enjoy it, but my point is that it turned out to be what I didn't want it to be. Also there is no quest for you to get your end-game armor like in AC II or AC:B. I'm not givng any details on the multiplayer as I didn't try it.

    Overall it is a worthy sequel, a must-have for AC Die Hard fans, and for casual gamers alike.

    I rate this slightly lower than the previous AC releases only because the world in which it is set is so much smaller than the original AC and AC II only Constantinople. But it's still very worthwhile. The story line finally gives us an idea of what happened with Altair and the Apple.

    El único problema que le encuentro es que no hace honor a su nombre: no hay "revelación", no nos cuentan nada que no supiéramos ya. Por lo demás, es un poco corto (comprensible, dado el tiempo de desarrollo) pero se perdona por poder ver a ese Ezio crepuscular viajando por las tierras de su antepasado a la caza de la verdad y esa estética tan cuidada, propia de los AC.

    +- VERY cinematic. Some may enjoy, some may feel this is just a bunch of cutscenes thrown together
    +- relatively short
    - Bad tutorial system
    - Doesn't really add any substance to previous games

    So getting quite late to the series, I'm playing the games by order and lately I've finished Revelations. Being a stogy hog - I've always felt the AC series is a wasted opportunity for a good medium of storytelling.
    Though many won't agree, I felt the original 2008's AC presented possibly the strongest chunk of the plot, although - the presentation itself was dull and boring.
    AC2 and Brotherhood had many improvements but Story-wise, to me, they also felt quite dull, repetitive, just chasing villains for revenge, with possibly only the beginning and ending of each game being some key moments of the plot.
    Revelation took matters to a whole new level, in my opinion. I've always liked intertwining plots and here you get the stories of Ezio, Altair, Desmond, and even bits of Subject 16 - all tied up together nicely. The cinematic level of the game is really ramped up here, with every scene crafted well, a story which actually had some impact, the Soundtrack was very strong and better than ever, and this game has possibly the most film-ish vibe of the entire series.

    That's what made me, at least, experience it as an 8 out of 10, But I can definitely see why this game is panned by many others. As a GAME, Revelations doesn't do that well:
    While each of the previous entries of the series had some vast improvements to the series and to the genre in general, Revelations doesn't really do much. It MOSTLY plays as the previous two games. I felt some cool features were removed since Brotherhood. The new additions just weren't that good - Den Defense turned out as a very weak addition. The Bombs craft were OK-ish, but didn't really feel like anything meaningful, and the Desmons Portal-ish sequences are questionable (I've personally enjoyed them, and thought they were a nice break from the core game, but I see why many won't. Fortunately, it's quite optional).
    Also - the Tutorial system is pretty horrible this time, with Tutorial messages disappearing within seconds when you barely have time to read them, never to appear again, or to appear in the most inconvenient of times.
    Many features are not introduced at all, and it seems the developers just figured you've played and already know how things work since Brotherhood.
    Even if that IS true, I think after taking a year off the AC series I'd deserve some reminders.

    Last thing I'd point out - which I'm not sure whether it's a good or a bad thing - the game felt VERY short. I usually take my time with video games but here I've ended the story in no time. It felt the game was much thinner in content, there were awfully less side quests than the previous games, and it was all mostly straightforward.
    I didn't even feel the game TRIES to make me do other stuff other than just blasting through the story and get it over with.
    Knowing Ubi's tendency to (sometimes) just cram their games with repetitive content, this may actually be a good thing. Still, it is a little surprising.

    Which leads me to my last point - Constantinople was WAY smaller than ALL previous areas we got to visit in ALL previous games. Seriously, it was tiny. Which is also surprising. While the graphics were awesome and got tweaked and improves since last game, the world around me didn't feel like anything new, and besides some turkish-vibes, I could swear I was still wondering the streets of Rome.

    So, seems like many complaints, but I did actually really enjoyed this game, mainly due to the superb storytelling, which is enough to satisfy me. Unfortunately, that's not the case for a major part of the gaming community, and it seems the series has taken off to different directions ever since.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am a tiny bit biased, because even with the flaws Revelation has, the ending (at least the first ending, the ending involving Altair and Ezio) makes up for most of them.
    This is the end of the Ezio-trilogy, and also kinda has a meeting of Ezio and Altair in a way.
    the new setting, Constantinople, is rather beautiful, even though it ofc looks a bit dated by now.
    So is Ezio, kinda... he is quite a bit older than he was in previous games, and you start to get the feeling he has aged, is a bit less agile, yet more experienced.
    The intro already is cool, following in Altairs footsteps into a fortress, followed by a very dramatic almost execution to a wild chase with a carriage, and then the game begins.
    The system with apprentice assassins you can hire has been elaborated on, and you can establish bases and send your assassins out all over Europe, which will get you mats and money. If needed, you can call your assassins, which makes some fights a bit easier. I really liked this system, just like I did in Brotherhood, it was a nice idea and nicely done, and feels much more "assassin-like" than hiring street-thugs in Syndicate.
    Another new system is a tower-defense like minigame, which I thought feels a bit "forced into the game". It was a nice attempt, but I didn't think it fit all that well, so I only did it once (the tutorial, which you have to do to progress the story), and never again... it's pretty much optional.
    You can craft different kinds of bombs, depending on what you like to use (distract enemies, smoke bombs etc). They elaborated on that, and teach you how to use it in game, and I did use different kinds of bombs, yet didn't think it was a big game-changer. It was another nice attempt to change things around a bit.
    The hookblade you get early on in the game enables Ezio to do faster climbing, or do wider jumps, plus it can be used in melee. Another small detail, not earth-shattering, but nice, and I liked how it was introduced (a "trademark tool" of the assassin-branch in Constantinople, so to say)
    The story is ok... nothing too amazing, but there are some very cool moments...sneaking into a feast, taking out murderers there, etc.

    Flaws: I had 2-3 crushes. Also, the game still has the wonky controls the previous games had, where sometimes, things you try end up in a mishap... jumps not working, you ejecting yourself off a wall instead of climbing up, stopping instead of quickly climbing an obstacle etc.
    This made one optional race (against a potential apprentice you can hire) INCREDIBLY frustrating, as there was ZERO room for errors in that race, so I gave up and never hired that guy. No problem though, as you have enough other candidates, and once you level them up, they become useful assistants for taking out tougher enemies quickly.
    If you played AC II and Brotherhood, you might remember the optional "imba armour riddles". In those games, you could unlock legendary armour sets (AC II: Altairs armour, BH: Brutus' armour and dagger). There is something like that here, but this time, it's rather simple to get. YOu need to find a few items hidden in the city (you can use a guide to find these). In order to get to one of them, you need to get to sequence 4 or 5 in the story to unlock a part of the city... once you do, you can get all missing pieces, do a jumping-puzzle and unlock a legendary armour-set.
    It was nice and made things a bit easier, but it didn't feel like an achievement really, compared to the equivalents in earlier games. Much easier and you can do it early on.

    The ending... what an iconic moment. I loved how it brought closure to the story of Ezio and Altair. I really liked the sequences where you played as Altair. He looked better than in AC 1, and you had the more modern handling. The sequences with him were tricky, sometimes quite difficult but that didnt bother me, as I simply loved how you were alternating between Ezio and Altair and brought their story to an end (or almost an end in Ezios case)
    One thing truly sucked: After you complete that story, you go back to the present, and there is another too-long, no-room-for-errors-jumping puzzle. At that point, I thought I had beaten the game and hated having to play another jumping-puzzle, needing several attempts to beat it. Same thing in AC3: Too much of an afterthought there, and after the totally cool, very epic and movie-like end of Ezios part (the chase and final fight), this felt tagged-on, unnecessary and anti-climatic.
    So: Its a bit buggy, it feels a TINY bit uninspired, some things were unnecessary (tower defense) or too easy (legendary armour), but at the same time, it was a great change of scenery, had some killer sequences (intro etc.), brought closure to 2 of the coolest assassins and, even with its flaws is a fun game, especially since you can probably get it cheap these days. If you liked ACII and BH and can get this for a few bucks, definitely consider it!

    Continuing where Brotherhood left off, I was happy to get to spend more time learning about Desmond and fleshing him out as a character. Being able to wrap up Subject 16's story (which honestly was entirely peripheral in the first two AC2 games) was also enjoyable. Gameplay is just as solid as AC2 and Brotherhood, and there are far fewer issues with the camera this time around.

Despite others' complaints about the den defense mini-game, I was able to avoid triggering it even once while completing the single player campaign. Ezio's story does feel less important that Desmond's this time, which can be a good or bad thing depending on what you enjoy in the series. I was glad to learn more about what was going on in the present-day world, and the reasons for all of the events that had taken place in the previous games. The game also wraps up Altair's story, which frankly was more fun than actually playing through the first game. Things are wrapped up nicely for Ezio, though the love interest bit seems very tacked on, and somewhat out of character for him. Despite some minor flaws, Revelations is a great conclusion to the AC2 series of games. Looking forward to AC3. Expand

The bombs addition can fit some people, I barely used it, there are plenty of ways to deal with targets without it. The story itself doesn't add much but some parts (Espacially the last assassination) include stunts that Hooliwood hasn't yet seen. Even the climbing parts, which I hated in Brotherhood, somehow became fun. Highly Recommended Expand

    The fourth instalment of the franchise, with Ubisoft stepping it up over the course of 4 years, Assassin's Creed Revelations definitely have faults of its own compared to its predecessors.

    While retains the linear storyline of the previous Assassin's Creed games, it adds a few more obstructive technical issues that somewhat affects the overall experience badly.

    For example, having vsync turned 'Off' and a refresh rate over 60hz often results in crashes and glitches, in between the main story missions. It is extremely annoying at times, especially because it has already seen it's existence since AC2 and had gotten worse.. Crashes doesn't happen just once or twice, probably a good 10+ in total.

    Graphics wise, there isn't much improvements from the previous titles, and looks just slightly better.

    My conclusion is that if you've enjoyed Ezio, Altair, and Desmond's stories, then Assassin's Creed Relevations is one title that you cannot miss, an EPIC end to the Altair/Ezio story. If not, then you probably won't enjoy it a whole lot.

So it goes for Ezio Auditore, who finally steps aside to make room for new champions in Assassin's Creed Revelations. The game sets you loose in a visually stunning recreation of 15h Century Constantinople, where you leap across rooftops like a renaissance superhero. But like many sequels, Assassin's Creed Revelations has many flaws. You lose horses and other serious improvements in the last game in favor of awkward mechanics that don't belong. Those include first person plat forming and tower defense battles. Neither of which are very good. Thankfully when Assassin's Creed Revelations remembers to be an Assassin's Creed game, it reminds you of what makes this series so great. Assassin's Creed Revelations isn't all about Ezio Auditore's story, it's also Desmond Mile's story. Here Desmond Mile's mind is a prisoner within the animus. This computerized space is presented as an island. Where shimmering doors leads to his ancestor's memories as well as his own. Playing as Desmond Miles isn't as entertaining as is it was in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. That's due in part to the levels that represent his memories. This synthetic cyberspace environments are a cool backdrop but the gameplay isn't fun. You create blocks and ramps out of thin air and move forward, but the jumping feels flat and the puzzles don't test your mind, they are just frustrating. This is one of Assassin's Creed Revelations attempt to force elements into a game that doesn't benefit from them. Unfortunately, you spend the bulk of your time as Ezio and sometimes as Altair from Assassin's Creed 1. It seems it's near the games conclusion throb with emotional resonance. Yes, there are a few great holy cow moments near the end, but it's the calm before the storm that tides two lives together and thus impresses the most. It makes you realize you will miss these Assassins of centuries past. As for Ezio Auditore's story, it's as tired as the older Ezio looks. Great voice actors sell every line, but the political intrigue among the Sultan's family just isn't that interesting. Still Assassin's Creed Revelations largely impresses thanks to how much fun it is to move through its' world. That's partly because of the gorgeous views. It's partly because of the fantastic soundtrack. But it's also because it's climbing and leaping is so joyful. The addition of the hook blade enhances the parkour of past games. You can climb faster, glide down zip lines and grab walls you would have missed in the past. You can also float downwards with parachutes. The result, plat forming is exhilarating as ever and certain set piece missions, like one in which you escape a burning boat ramp up the excitement. Not every set piece moment is as good as that one. Avoiding rocks as you drag behind a curating carriage isn't fun for example. Assassin's Creed Brotherhood did these kinds of scripted events better albeit Assassin's Creed Revelations does make important improvements. Assassin recruitment returns, but sending your brothers and sisters on missions now has more context. Setting Assassins to different cities reduces Templar control and increases Assassins control. The simple addition of a strategic element keeps recruitment from being simple busy work. In addition, there are quests you do with fully leveled assassins. Now, you actually feel like a mentor. An addition that isn't so good is that of tower defense. You capture Templar regimes, by killing commanders and lighting signal fires, but the Templars will try to get them back which means having to play a boring tower defense game. You stand on a roof, assign assassins to different locations and try to defeat waves of enemies. The simple mechanic structure make this a dull exercise and the camera close-ups of falling Templars disrupt the flow. Tower defense isn't all that's new. Now you can craft bombs out of ingredients you find. Combine them at a crafting station and viola. Bombs that explode release poison gas and so on. Combat has seen other changes such as awesome new finishing moves in addition of enemy gunners. Multiplayer returns as well, with some new modes like death match and capture the flag variant. Death match doesn't have the attention that the returning modes do. It's still more enjoyable to sling through the crowds, blending in while hoping your target slips up and makes himself known. Artifact assault gives you a chance to speed across rooftops with the enemies flag, which is quite fun. But, Assassin's Creed Revelations is at its best when it focuses on what the series does best. The first person puzzling and tower defense are bewildering additions, but when you skyrocket across the rooftops of this magnificent city, the stunning sites transport you to another century. Remember, "Nothing is true... Everything is permitted". "La shai wak'ion motlaq bal kollon momken". I would give this game a rating of 84 out of 100. Expand

    A final installment in the Assassin's Creed Ezio trilogy is my personal favourite. While it's not revolutionary by far it improves on it's predecessors and delivers an interesting story in a rich and superbly designed environment.

    The story this times takes place in Constantinople and ties all loose ends. Apart from writing the final chapter for Ezio it also revisits Altair who is also a playable character in certain chapters. And it was great to learn what happened to Altair and how both he and Ezio are tied together. The cut scenes are really nicely put together and the whole story is quite interesting.

    Visually it's also an improvement although not breath taking. The characters are better animated, the environment is well designed and does remind of life teaming city packed with a lot of people. The map overall might be a bit smaller but it's so well designed that it's an actual improvement over the somewhat empty spaces we could encounter in the previous installments. I must admit the city - the way it looks, the way it's structured and how you move around it is what probably makes it my favourite Assassin's Creed game.

    The mechanics for the most part are the same. With just the addition of bombs which are quite annoying to craft and not that useful and the hook which lets you climb higher places and also zip line which is super fun - the rest almost unchanged. The whole structure of the game remains the same. And it's absolutely fine as you get to do them in a great environment.

    Overall as mentioned - definitely my favourite Assassin's Creed game. Though somewhat requires you to play the previous ones to fully appreciate the story it ties up. Can't recommend enough.

    The only things I don't really like about the game are that it lacks originality/creativity as well as the Desmond missions being ResidentSleeper as well as the Lost Archive dlc. They have a cool concept but are executed in a way that makes them incredibly boring and underwhelming, just basic puzzles (if you can even call them puzzles) that are done in a first person view to try and make them seem more interesting than what they actually are. Some of the characters also could have used more character development/back story.

    Not as good as Brotherhood and it ends quickly, but keeps the high quality level Brotherhood has set. Lacks a bit of story and spirit to be great, but it is very good, sometimes serious, sometimes funny, its just too short to really get into. Out of first four AC games this one is second the best, behind Brotherhood.

    Loved the game, the story, and the soundtrack. My only real gripe is they made Ezio looked really weird, like a silverback ape. The graphics were not impressive either but id still had fun playing it. One word of warning about the DLC its trash and not worth even considering.

    This time around the game-play feels a chore and boring, because nothing really new is added. A few innovations here and there but it was still fun to play if you played it for the story, and environment. It was an important entry in properly finishing the Ezio saga, and they did it right!

    The follow-up to AC Brotherhood.

    I was undecided for a moment whether it should be a 9 or a 10 but I would give it a 9,5 which rounds up to a 10. Positive points for me were the setting of Constantinopolis which was an emotional setting. The music was very atmospheric again and in some missions activated some uplifting spirits.

    Minor criticism is for the unnecessary tower defence and animus block missions and the artistic colours which I found hard to digest in some cases like the style of the Janissaries.

    Overall it is slightly less than Brotherhood but still a 10, looking back I had a positive long-lasting feeling from this game.

    Counter-attacks are stylish but i hate how they did nothing to normal attacks, Just a basic finishing-move other than the counter-attacks' stylish finishing moves.
    Also, they didn't say anything about a dual finishing move, (i.e stab with a hidden blade and shoot another guy with a hand cannon.) and also about the dust mechanic.
    I had to play AC:B just to figure it out.
    Den Defenses are okay, Basically Tower Defense except they are in Assassin's Creed.
    Overall, the story is great, Game Mechanics are fine except for combat, which is the same thing for the last 3 games before AC:R.

    - The hookblade. It allows the incorporation of the zipline where Ezio can zip across some parts of the city. He can also, get past guards more effectively with the hookblade.

    - Characters are interesting.

    - The story of Ezio is intriguing. The game allows you to bond with him from birth to death.

    Cons:

    - If you shoot a crossbow arrow into a guards back, he will only lose a quarter health. On the other hand if you shoot him in the front, it is one hit kill.

    - Hit detection is not as accurate previous Assassin's Creeds.

    Ultimately, Revelations leaves behind a bittersweet taste: it's the end of a saga (or two, depending on how you view things) and integrates fairly well in the timeline of the series, but... it's nothing more than a detour that answers a few questions, not an actual step forward.

    It's the perfect closure for Ezio's trilogy; however, it does not offer something completely new and if you were getting tired by Brotherhood's mechanisms, Revelations will definitely not change your mind.
