    Revelations closes the Assassin's Creed journey with a familiar looking videogame, but a new iteration so epic and amazing as you might expect. It's a worthy end for the first volume of the series.

    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.

    With being too close to its predecessor Brotherhood, Assassin’s Creed Revelations is not daring enough to forge its own path. Nevertheless, the game concludes the saga of Ezio in a satisfying manner and tells an interesting story in an even more interesting setting.

    The gorgeous city of Constantinople takes center stage in Assassin's Creed: Revelations, another great historical adventure.

    A fitting end to the stories of Ezio and Altaïr build on a high standard of gameplay fitting for the series, ultimately held back by a lack of true gameplay evolution. Fans of the series won't be disappointed, but may find the wait for Assassin's Creed III made just a little bit harder.

    Multiplayer is the only thing that makes Revelations worth its price (and if you're still interested in the story, just go watch the ending on YouTube).

    If you're new to Assassin's Creed or the genre, go buy the first game on Steam, don't waste your time with this if it's your first entry into the series.

    Overall i think the game was a great improvement from its predecessor (Brotherhood). One of the features that i like about this game is howOverall 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, 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.

Sadly it lacked polish and was the first AC game to come out with major glitches present. There was no story outside animus which I think was a bad design choice. Still awesome gets 8.5/10. Expand

    We receive the third and at the same time the final act of Ezio's trilogy in the form of Revolutions. The two and Brotherhood were great gamesWe receive the third and at the same time the final act of Ezio's trilogy in the form of Revolutions. The two and Brotherhood were great games for me and the question is whether Ubisoft did it in the third and whether Revolutions is so amazing. It depends. Yes and no. Assassin's Creed: Revolutions has undergone several changes. One of them is a storyline from the present, which is just ... meh? I don't know, but compared to previous works, it's not enough about anything and the island where Desmond is located didn't interest me much. The next change is the environment that we will go through for Ezia. Beautiful Italy was replaced by developers for Istanbul, which was ... nothing much? This is so subjective, but I personally sat Italy much more from the previous parts. Florence and Rome had their charms, but Istanbul did not address me. Another minor disappointment is the story, which is good, but simply not on the same level as the previous parts of Ezio's series. But it must be said that I experienced a lot of delicious moments in the game. For example, the passages with Altair were luxurious. Yes. That's right. You will also play Altair here for a few hours, so I liked to remember the first part. Unfortunately, this and a few more moments were the best part of the process and I wanted to have the rest behind me. But I was definitely satisfied by the end, which was wonderful for me and ended the trilogy at number one. It's a pity that the rest of the game isn't great either, or it really is, but I don't know how to say it. Gameplay is identical to Brotherhood, and with a few new features, the game is played the same way, but the environment was probably to blame. Overall, Assassin's Creed: Revelations is not bad. Not at all. It's really good, it's just not as good for me as the previous parts. Maybe if Ubisoft kept Italy, the game would be much better, but I understand the effort to change so that the series does not revolve around the same location, but unfortunately this time it was more to my detriment. From what I've heard, Revelations wasn't even planned and was created mainly because of Brotherhood's fans who wanted another piece. Unfortunately, it occurred to me that it was quite visible. On the one hand, as I already mentioned, I really enjoyed the moments with Altair and the end ended the series beautifully. So for me, a good game that I recommend. Expand

    While I would agree with many people who clearly state "this is the worst Assassin's Creed yet" this by no means is cause for alarm thinkingWhile I would agree with many people who clearly state "this is the worst Assassin's Creed yet" this by no means is cause for alarm thinking this is a bad game. Even if it's a bad Assassin's Creed game it is still a better offering than most games have to give. The graphics are the best looking yet (although some character models look a bit...off). Some parts of this game are just stunning to look at. The game-play itself doesn't feel quite as smooth or refined as in previous iterations but it is manageable and hasn't caused me a lot of issue. The story itself is slower paced and less urgent than its predecessors which reflects Ezios growth as both a character and an aging man. Still, it is a small step backwards storytelling wise with what you expect from an Assassin's Creed game, but it is still and enjoyable play-through. I only have a few gripes about this game, one is a gripe I have had since day one of the series, the other two exclusive to Revelations. I hate the interface. It's is slow, unintuitive, and clunky. I never liked it in the first game and can't believe it still exists pretty unchanged throughout the whole series. Second is the "tower defense" mini game. Totally uninteresting, totally unchallenging, and a complete waste of time. Third is the "Desmond's Journey" sequences. Stupid little "side quests" outside the main storyline that you have to unlock piece by piece that slowly reveals Desmond's past before the events of the series delivered in one of the worst game-play scenarios ever though up. I'd have given this game an 8 but the inclusion of the stupid Desmon side quests that are annoying as hell with little payoff and the tower defense mini-game that seems more like a bigwigs insistence on its inclusion because "tower defense games are popular!" instead of a thoughtful design choice it only get a 7.
