12. Assassin’s Creed: Revelations (2011)
Like Brotherhood, Ubisoft built Revelations on the back of Assassin’s Creed II. But as the third game starring Ezio and using the same tech, it felt old and creaky. The narrative wrapped up the Ezio trilogy nicely, for those who were invested, but it was hard to get excited about another sequel to Assassin’s Creed II.
Revelations might also contain the worst, dumbest mini-game in Assassin’s Creed history. The tower defense sections of Revelations felt out of place, poorly made, and just not worth the time. I was a fan of the franchise trying weird and different things, like multiplayer, but the tower defense was an example of the series going too far off the rails. And it wouldn’t be the last time this happened.
