Today’s game is Assassin’s Creed Revelations. I’ve been playing this for a while now in the Background. I have much the same regards for this i had for Assassin’s Creed 2 and Brotherhood. It improves on the mechanics of the first one to a nice degree.
I especially like the Animus island, it has this cold and desolate feeling that feels almost cozy too me. I would love to bring my laptop out there along with maybe a blanket and just work on some personal projects or something.
One of the things that i love it introducing is the Bomb Mechanics. It’s cool being able to craft my own. I will admit though that this more often than not leads me to just recrafting the same bomb rather than experimenting. But still, I do like having this here.
Getting to play as Altair again was awesome too. Especially with the better controls and stuff. It makes it way more comfortable to play. It’s a shame though as a lot of what i liked about the 1st game was the unique qualities they have when it comes to stealth, that’s something i wish was carried over or atleast recreated for these flashbacks.
I made it as far as the first key today, and now that Dead Space is off my table, i’m gonna continue too make faster progress (or so i hope).
Far Cry had the same loop in 3 and 4. Yes, it’s part of the classic ubi formula. Anyway, seems like Unity isn’t in your list. I recall that having about the same verticality as Syndicate, though no grappling hook and maybe less tall buildings. Mostly 3 floor apartment blocks plus some cathedrals. I played 1 year after release and really didn’t have any bugs, in spite of initial reviews
