Assassin's Creed: Revelations

Definitely a comedown after the brilliant ACII and Brotherhood. I missed the Italian setting, and the tower defense minigame was annoying, but this is still good stuff overall, and it finishes Ezio's and Altair's stories in a satisfactory way.

The end of the Ezio trilogy. I just really enjoyed the history of the game and the story line. Being able to play as Altair again was cool and the ending with old man Ezio was satisfying.

Not on par with the previous two episodes, especially due to the somewhat unstructured way the narrative unfolds, but Constantinople is a beautifully realized game world, and the game does serve as a nice final chapter for Ezio, one of my all-time favorite protagonists.

a genuinely good narrative, closing ezio and altair's stories in an amazing way

The Animus strips history of its "aura," rendering the past a repeatable commodity. Ezio, an aging Angel of History, traverses a hall of mirrors, watching ancestors while we watch him. The city glows in autumnal twilight, symbolizing the exhaustion of serialization. Despite the jarring intrusion of bureaucratic tower-defense mechanics, the game remains a poignant antique—a catalog of ruins before the storm of progress blows us forward. - Full Review

Treading water in the way that annualized series often do. If you liked the core gameplay of the last installment, it's here all over again (minus horses, for whatever reason), plus some minor new tacked-on systems (bomb-crafting, awkward tower defense and first-person puzzle platforming(!) etc.). Ironically, despite the title, you get the feeling they've already played their cards as far as interesting or purposeful plot developments; it does wrap things up for the protagonists, at least.

fantastic ending. really good plot and it's the end of ezio's and altair's journey. how would i not love it?

Great story overall, but some definite downgrades from the previous entry, and a poor endgame.

Good new mechanic : the bombs. New things I disliked : Mediterranean defense and having your notoriety rise when you renovate a shop.

Trash. I didn't even like this one.
