    Ezio parkour's through history once more, with a beautifully rendered Constantinople as his new home.

    Didn't keep me entertained for as long as the games before this. The story is good, but Constantinopole isn't nearly as fun to explore as the cities of Italy, and some of the new ideas like the tower defense mode aren't all that great.

    Почему-то считается, что это худшая часть с Эцио, но по мне это вообще не так. В плане графики был сделан скачок вперёд, Стамбул выглядит живым, по нему приятно перемещаться. Геймлей тоже немного преобразился благодаря большему количеству оружия и крюку. Сюжет тоже, как мне кажется, стал лучше – он разбавляется историей Альтаира.

    - Constantinople has a few cool sights (like Hagia Sofia), but otherwise is pretty generic.
    - Masyaf missions are poorly designed.
    - Tower defence missions are an abomination.    … Expand

    The game was enjoyable for me, but didn't give too much new content compared to the previous installments. The developers gave some new mechanisms, elements to the game, but they also removed some features. The plot is interesting, so it encourages to finish the story. Despite of this, the missions were usually boring. For example templar towers are actually the same as Borgia towers.

    The game seems like to be lost in all the aspects that proposed in the beginning. The "defend the tower" system doesn't work at all, the battle decayed comparing to the Brotherhood, the assassin's guild that you can manage doesn't show you the minimum difficult to work out and the battle seems to use a different system, seeing that is very mechanical, which doesn't appear on Brotherhood.The game seems like to be lost in all the aspects that proposed in the beginning.

Nouvelle ville bien sûr dont l'ambiance est radicalement différente des précédentes, une légère amélioration des graphismes et une maniabilité encore en progrès (les deux roues des armes sont un vrai plus et permettent d'utiliser bien plus efficacement toutes les compétences de notre (maintenant) bon vieux Ezio.

    C'est toujours aussi beau ou en tout cas dans le haut du panier des jeux de ce genre même si les AC mélangent avec toujours autant de talent pas mal de genres (GTA, de I'infiltration, Tomb Raider...). Les énigmes du sujet 16 ont disparu (pas un mal surtout depuis ACB) et ont été remplacées par un délire à la Portal mais sans téléporteur : un peu curieux mais il faut reconnaître que ça fonctionne assez bien.

    Un bémol pour quelques séquences qui se laissent aller à des tics unchartiens qui n'ont vraiment rien à faire dans un jeu de cette qualité, idem pour une ou deux scènes à la limite du QTE merdeux. Cela reste rare heureusement.

    Tant qu'on est aux griefs, n'oublions pas les séquences du type "tower defense" à deux balles (lorsqu'on perd un repaire) qui tombent comme un cheveu sur la soupe. On note aussi quelques soucis d'IA (les gardes qui attaquent sans raison alors que la notoriété est très basse ?...).

    Pour le reste, VF toujours de très bon aloi, musique agréable même si Jesper Kyd est moins inspiré que dans AC Brotherhood (il faut dire qu'il avait particulièrement brillé dans l'opus précédent), et narrativement parlant AC Revelations est sans doute le meilleur épisode de la série combinant cette fois les histoires réelles et virtuelles sans se prendre les pieds dans le tapis. Il reste bien entendu encore moult inconnues dans la grande équation, car à chaque réponse apportée, une nouvelle question apparaît : la Vérité est ailleurs...

    ACR fait donc partie de la meilleure trilogie des AC, derrière AC2 et AC Brotherhood certes mais bien devant AC4 Black Flag.    … Expand

    I'm one of those guys that think AC hit it's peak with the Brotherhood title. But I'm also an Ezio fanboy. We get the conclusion to Ezio's story and in a way it started going downhill frome here.
    Great game, but I still think it's a glorified DLC.

    Revelations is the weakest of the Ezio trilogy, but we still await the next Assassin's Creed game feeling satisfied. The new mechanics are nothing special but the coming together of Altair and Ezio's stories is more than enough to have you cracking a smile.

    I wanted to like this game far more than I did. The closure of Ezio's story was a fantastic piece of narration and storytelling, however the game didn't add enough to make it feel like an advancement from Brotherhood. The story kept me engaged up to just before the very end when things go a bit weird, however I just couldn't shake the feeling that I'd already played the game before.

After playing through it, I seriously think a name change is in order from Revelations to Executive Administrator, because that’s what most of this game feels like.
    Following the story you get maybe 5 to 6 hours of game-play, but if you spend time looking for all the treasures, buying reel estate, hiring assassins and sending them on missions to various historical cities and leveling them up thereby functioning as mentor of said assassins so they can take over various assassins headquarters spread throughout the beautifully realized Constantinople, defending said headquarters in a rather flawed Tower Defense game, playing through the FPS Tetris/platform levels to restore Desmond’s memories etc. etc. etc. the game will probably last you about 14 to 15 hours if not more.
    Yes, most of the content in this game is actually blatant, inconsequential padding, which somehow also manages to have the extra benefit of being quite boring.
    Actually, I’m a bit ambivalent about this game. The story is pretty good and the game works when it remembers that it’s an Assassin’s Creed game and you actually get to assassinate someone, and we get to say goodbye to the two main characters of the previous games, Altair and Enzio. Their stories are wrapped up pretty well.
    However, this is marred by the endless padding of menial tasks you constantly find yourself doing and leads in my view to an overall very weak game, which lacks focus. It seems like Ubisoft were treading water, trying various stuff out without having an actual overall game plan. The administration of assassins is a perfect example of this. Let’s forgo the fact that the leveling up of the various henchmen is so superficial they might as well have left it out completely, but when the struggle for control of various major cities against the Templars feels more like sending out tax collectors, the entire idea is completely undermined. Unfortunately it’s the same with most of the other non-story driven events in the game.
    Also, the combat is in dire need of reinvention. When being surrounded by guards doesn’t inspire you to run away, but instead makes you shake your head, knowing full well there is no way in all hells ever invented by man to scare the living crap out of children that they will be able to kill you, followed by what is now nothing more than a mindless quick-time event (block combined with attack equals instant kill), there really is no sense of threat leading to no sense of excitement. And just in case it wasn’t easy enough you can even outsource your kills or most combat situations to your assassin henchmen (if they’re not busy collecting taxes, that is).
    Assassin’s Creed Revelations is fundamentally a rather mediocre and largely uninspired game in an amazingly beautiful and extremely well presented package and if it wasn’t for the story, there would be nothing for me to recommend (except the music).    … Expand

    Assassin's Creed games have always had a certain quality about them that made each one unique from the last. The original set the stage for the franchise, the 2nd game greatly built upon the mechanics and setting of the first, and Brotherhood refined the gameplay, setting, and music of the 2nd game.

    So, what makes Assassin's Creed: Revelations unique? Bombs, Zip-lines, and tower defense.

    The primary issue with this game is that it isn't very different. If anything, it feels like a large expansion pack for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. The gameplay nearly identical to that of prior games, only now with the inclusion of bombs and zip-lines, two items you won't use often. Granted, now you have the hook blade, but honestly it doesn't do much and it fails to spice up the gameplay.
    The only "fresh" idea added to the gameplay here is the tower defense game. However, this is actually quite boring and repetitious and it fails to add anything significant.

    Assassin's Creed: Revelations does advance the plot of the Assassin's Creed series quite well. However, the plot is far from spectacular, and the story of this game really doesn't do much of anything interesting. It mainly sets the stage for later installments.

    In my opinion, this is the weakest of the entries in the Assassin's Creed franchise. It's not a bad game, but if you play all the games leading up to it, Revelations is quite disappointing.    … Expand

    If you are already invested in the series then playing Revelations isn't even an option - it's mandatory. The story is just too important, and frankly, this is the best in the series when it comes to story and action sequences, and not even misplaced tower defense distraction and endless city domination missions can hold it back.

    As it stands Assassin's Creed: Revelations is worth playing, but not as a premium title. The content is thin, the game isn't as interesting, and Ubisoft shouldn't have diluted the game to make a yearly cycle. In a glut of other games to buy during the holiday season, it just doesn't stand out as a must-have.
