    It was an honour to be a companion of Ezio the Auditore. Solid game after its predecessor.

    This is the conclusion of the story with the memories of Altair and you will see really interesting gameplay and learn more for the main character from the first AC

    Es un buen juego, aunque la historia me termino aburriendo mas que las anteriores (lo de crear bombas y tener que hacer estrategias para que no pasen los templarios me aprecio muy aburrido), a excepción de la historia de Altair y el final.

There are no interesting characters, memorable chips or moments, too, only **** bombs sell, although they are not needed at all, there is management, but there is no sense in it, there is little equipment, it all opens only when passing each Chapter, you can buy different buildings, but it does not give anything and it is not interesting to do, plus it is very expensive. The only value of this part is the story of Altair and the way he came. It is sad that it is disgusting at the same time that Altair finished like this, although he lived to old age, there was a wife, children, faith, but...people is rotten, the order and with it the faith and commitment of those people who put everything to him. Oh Yes, and the ending is complete nonsense, but Ezio himself, who in part 2 was a young and cheerful boy, here turned into someone else,although one advantage it has that I did not become a slave to Apple and in the whole man he is not bad.
    Одна из всех серии игр которая вообще не зацепила. Все происходит на одной локации, побежал 500 метров для того чтобы взять задание, выполнил его, беги опять метров 300-500 и так всю игру. Персонажей интересных нет, запоминающихся фишек или моментов тоже, только сраные бомбы впаривают, хотя они и вовсе не нужны, есть менеджмент, но смысла в нем нет, экипировки мало, вся она открывается только при прохождении каждой главы, можно покупать разные здания, но это ничего не дает и этим неинтересно заниматься, плюс это очень дорого. Единственная ценность этой части, это история Альтаира и то как он кончил. Грустно мерзко одновременно, что Альтаир вот так закончил, хоть и дожил до преклонных лет, была жена, дети, вера, но...люди прогнили, орден а вместе с ним и вера и стремление тех людей которые положили для него все. Ах да еще и концовка полный бред, но и сам Эцио, который во 2 части был молодым и веселым мальчуганом, здесь превратился в кого -то другого,хотя один плюс он имеет, что не стал рабом яблока и в целом человек он не плохой.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    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!

    "Revelations" improved "Assassin's" world in many ways. But yet I have some mixed feelings about it.
    On one side, there is a polished gameplay (comparing to assassins released earlier) and a solid story, on the other side some additions to the story (I mean animus) and DLC content didn't work as much as I had hoped, some episodes in story were either boring or poorly directed (death of    "Revelations" improved "Assassin's" world in many ways.

    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.    … Expand

    Not a very good game in the first place, and destroyed completely by several game-crashing bugs that were never fixed. The controls have been slightly improved from the first 3 games, but 80% of the game is a repeated loop of:

    1. Do some random missions
    2. Find a book
    3. Get the book
    4. Find a masyaf key
    5. Get the masyaf key
    6. Play an Altair memory
    7. Repeat

    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.

    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!    … Expand

    A very good ending to Ezio's trilogy, with nice flashbacks into Altair's memories. Innovations compared to Brotherhood are lacking, but if you take AC2 + Brotherhood + Revelations as one single game & story arc, it's a very enjoyable experience and you'll be left asking for more!

    Assassin’s Creed Revelations is a third person parkour/stealth game, and the third in the Assassin’s Creed II trilogy of games. While on the surface this game may seem similar to – indeed, even improved from its predecessors, the game suffers from a weak plot and repetitive gameplay relative to the previous games.

    Story Ezio Auditore is graying, but he hasn’t slowed down yet. After    Assassin’s Creed Revelations is a third person parkour/stealth game, and the third in the Assassin’s Creed II trilogy of games. While on the surface this game may seem similar to – indeed, even improved from its predecessors, the game suffers from a weak plot and repetitive gameplay relative to the previous games.

    Story

    Ezio Auditore is graying, but he hasn’t slowed down yet. After travelling to the fortress of Altair, the assassin protagonist from the original Assassin’s Creed, in search of answers, he is confronted by a group of Templars who are searching for five keys that could open up Altair’s vault and give them access to the Apple of Eden, an ancient artifact left behind by Those Who Came Before that can reveal many secrets and control men’s minds, among other things. Ezio must find the keys before them so that he can keep the artifact safe.
    Alas, this game’s plot is quite poor compared to the previous games; the plot is motivated entirely by a “collect the soup cans” plot, where you try and collect the magical keys before the bad guys do. The cast is all new, with only Ezio appearing from the previous two Assassin’s Creed II games, and while there are flashbacks to Altair’s life in the aftermath of the original Assassin’s Creed, having never played the first game, I’m not sure to what extent some of the characters are carried over from that game.
    The biggest problem lies in the fact that the modern-day plot – the entire reason that Desmond, the protagonist, is flashing back through his ancestor’s memories – takes an extreme back seat throughout the game. Desmond spends the entire game trapped in the machine that allows him to view his ancestor’s memories, and thus the meta-plot comes to a screeching halt and the whole game feels like a pointless cash-in, something which Ubisoft created to exploit AC II once more before finally releasing AC III. While the meta-plot never consumed a huge fraction of the previous games, its absence here is very notciable, as Ezio’s story just isn’t that interesting or high-stakes, and none of the characters I encountered in Constantinople connected with me in any way. The whole “conspiracy theory” angle that the previous games had is almost entirely lost, with no real signs of said gigantic conspiracy appearing in the game, and without that whole aspect, the game is simply much less interesting.

    Gameplay

    The gameplay is virtually unchanged from the previous Assassin’s Creed II games. Ezio starts out with all his toys, and he only really gets a couple new ones – a hook that he can use to extend his reach while jumping, which is vaguely interesting for some platforming, and bombs, which have a variety of effects, but the main one is basically “win fights even more ridiculously easily than before.” There were a few acrobatic maneuvers added to close combat, but they’re mostly pretty worthless; combat is extremely easy and I never even once had to use the new maneuvers to win or escape.
    The gameplay is still the same formula as the previous Assassin’s Creed II games: you spend the whole game running through a city, climbing buildings and occasionally murdering people. The parkour is pretty smooth, but honestly has begun to wear a bit thin; while it is neat being able to climb buildings, in the end it is mostly just following paths through the environment which mostly feel extremely straightforward and without much skill. Because Ezio does so much automatically, there’s very little challenge in the platforming aspects of the game, and because Ezio is so good at instantly killing enemies – indeed, he can kill every enemy in the game with a single hit, and oftentimes, kill entire groups in this manner – there’s very little challenge in combat. The main challenge of the game is sneaking around stealthily, and a few missions where you aren’t supposed to kill people, but even all of that is easily done within a couple tries.
    Consequently, the game as a whole feels extremely lightweight, and there isn’t much of a sense of achievement in victory; everything feels like it was handed to you on a silver platter, and the lack of challenge makes a lot of the game feel samey. A few underground tombs add some variety to the feel of the game, and a few of them felt pretty good, but in the end they really more or less boil down to “running along the path and the game trying to make it look impressive”, rather similar to the 3D Sonic games, but without the challenge. The missions can almost all be beaten very quickly, and most of the missions that cannot be beaten extremely quickly are because you have to run back and forth across the city. If you were just running through the main quest line, you could beat the entire game in under 10 hours.
    The main side quests in the game are just “collect all the objects in the environment”, and while there are maps to finding the items which you can purchase, actually grabbing all the items is completely unchallenging; it is just tedious.    … Expand

    Weaker back story and presentation overall compared to previous titles. Desmond is always in coma inside the animus, no real-life cutscenes. Appearance of Bill never explained. Overall story only picks up a little later in the game, before that it'is very weak, basically running around in Constantinople. Oh, and there's virtually no follow up to Lucy's death in the previous game.

Oh, and there's virtually no follow up to Lucy's death in the previous game.

    Ezio's and Altaïr's memories regarding to Piece of Eden are somewhat interesting, but only towards the end of the game. And getting Altaïr's memories consists mainly of linear platforming sections in hidden tombs that are nothing like the historic locations of wonder from previous games - it's just a race to the end.

    Open-world in the city: repetitive, not interesting missions, even assassin ones. Spend most of the time trying to get from A to B, dodging people (I'm getting cramps from constantly holding RMB, W and Space), and missions are not creative at all, end quickly, with targets that you don't care about - not very interesting. City is huge but feels soulless, NPCs are mostly dummies, it's difficult to relate to, and events and characters don't help construct interest and care for the historic time and place. Overwhelming amount of collectibles to get and shops and buildings to renovate and for what reason? Mostly simply achievements, so, it's almost exclusively a time sinker. And den defense is a boring as hell tower defense that I managed to save myself and avoid altogether by constantly paying Herald's 100A to keep Templar awareness down....

    Combat and movement is the same as ever, that is to say it's clunky, with the same sometimes despairingly frustrating problems. Ezio keeps climbing or not climbing contrary to what you mean to do, making navigation frustrating, screwing up missions and challenges where you can't be detected or do things in a specific way. Targeting is difficult where there's many enemies, which is most of the time, making it difficult to fire or engaging a specific enemy, screwing up some challenges in missions like preventing allies from getting hurt. With all that, I ended up restarting memories a lot and feeling frustrated about it.

    Optional Desmond animus sections are visually cool, but there's only platforming to do, and it is frustrating and not rewarding - might as well just watch a YT video with the plot lines.

    Assassin management and world map control had potential, but ends up being a chore, and there's little rewards - some armor and weapons that are very good, granted, but you can complete the game just fine without them.

    Overall, playing this was mostly a drag, since the missions themselves were not creative and engaging in the slightest, and with all those control and combat problems, I ended up feeling like I should have just watched some videos on YT with the important cutscenes. There was little of the interest in the city, characters, events and historic locales that the previous games had. And almost everything you can do in the city "open world" is repetitive and boring, might as well not be there. Of course, graphics are still good, as well as acting and voices.    … Expand

    Pros
    +Retains similar gameplay to AC2 and ACB however adds new elements to the gameplay and features to the overall world such as the hookblade and the parachute.
    +All of the Assassin/recruiting guild features and Multiplayer features are back
    +Ability to create bombs and use bombs brings forth new ways to play the game
    +Everything from AC2 and AC Brotherhood in terms of town upgrades and renovations are back
    +A Portal style platformer mini game labeled as "The Lost Archive" is available
    +The menu/item/weapon scroll wheel interface is improved and now is controllable with two analog sticks which makes navigating much more simple than previous games.
    +Inclusion of Heavy weapons increases the amount of variety of weapons you can use in the game compared to previous games.
    +Great OST

    Cons
    -Unable to re-do missions or sequences
    -Some sound effects go missing during some cutscenes (this may be a Uplay issue)
    -The game is more buggy than previous games and it is more common to come against floor glitches, etc
    -Some stuttering and lag occurs in the cutscenes (this may be a Uplay issue)
    -The game is shorter than the previously shorter than expected AC Brotherhood
    -The game feels a bit rushed when it comes to the storyline compared to previous AC games and feels like it should of been an extension to AC Brotherhood.
    -Recruitment of Assassins to the Assassin guild is more tedious than in Brotherhood    … Expand

    Very similar to the previous game, Brotherhood, with no significant improvements. The series is beginning to feel a bit stale, but not bad by any means. The story is ok, but a bit in-cohesive/random, like the last one. Great soundtrack. The game feels a bit shorter and the explorable world a bit smaller, a small pity and perhaps the result of Ubisoft rushing development.

    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.

    It's Assassin with all you love and hate, plus even more world control and bombs and genre experiments. Only the visuals are getting old while the foes are not getting any smarter. [Christmas 2011]
