Assassin's Creed Revelations reviewI always have been a great fan of Assassin's Creed- The History game with the most complicated story..... Why are the Assassins and the Templars at war? And if the old civilization had the technology to stop the destruction of earth why didn't they stopped it?
Never mind........ I always thought that assassin's creed 2 was the best assassin's creed. But then people start saying that Brotherhood was the best game ever. So, I went to the store and I bought assassin's creed brotherhood. Imagine what I found out. Assassin's creed 2 is the better than assassin's creed brotherhood. But now, Revelations is out so, let's see how it is. |
My score: 6.0 above average

The Game
The single player is focused on 3 major topics:
1-Masyaf
2-Bombs
3-Assassins(woow, really?)
1-Masyaf: is the main story. Here there is something that some people will not like. Ezio is much older than the other games. But I like him like this, because now he really looks like a mentor.
What you need to do is(spoiler alert) find the 5 masyaf keys to enter Altair's library.(spoiler end) And for this, you have to complete very intense levels like the pursuits:
1-Masyaf
2-Bombs
3-Assassins(woow, really?)

Or that level where you have to burn ships in Constantinople to escape.
You also have the Altair memories, where you can play as Altair when he is 92 yers old. (awesome?.....)
There are really good moments at the story mode. Moments that I only can compare to Brotherhood's Moteriggione's battle.
Unfurtunetly, when you are really imersed to the story, it ends. The Game is 6/7 Hours long. That's Really short. Then you will try to have some fun with the other things that are in this game.
2-Bombs
Bombs are a new thing at the Assassin's Creed series . It makes this game look more like an RPG where you can craft Items. In this game you can craft bombs with the ingredients that you collect around Constantinople. There is a great variety of Bombs and the satisfaction to see your little bomb exploding with the Templars is just nice.
3-Assassins
Constantinople (Istanbul) is the main city of this game, just like Rome in Brotherhood. Here, you can hire assassins (just like Brotherhood), send them on missions (just like Brotherhood) , capture templar towers (just like Brotherhood) and defend the towers ( not like Brotherhood). In this game, It looks more that you are in the middle of a war.
The Byzantine templars and the Ottomans start fighting when they find each other.
And after you capture the towers from the Templars, You have to defend them from they'r attacks. It is a strategy mini game.
This can take from you many hours, since you just have a protected Den (tower) when a master assassin is there. For that you have to complete a mission for every Den.
The Multiplayer
The multiplayer is good to kill time when you have nothing to do. It is just like an arcade machine. It is not like any other multiplayer. Here you have to kill an assigned target while avoiding your pursuer that is trying to kill you. You have some characters to chose from. At the arena, there are some civilians that look like the players and because you don't know where your target is, you have to guess by the way it moves. you also have to move in a normal way. If you start running and jumping at the top of the buildings, your pursuer will know where you are. when you find your target, you should only compromise yourself when you kill it. this looks like a thing that you will get bored after some hours of playing but this is extremely addicting and when you start playing this you'll stay hours and hours and you will wake up later and will be surprised with the hours you spent in this shit. This multiplayer was present in brotherhood already but surprisingly, it has not changed that much. it is even worse. while in brotherhood you had lots of different characters, in this game you only have got 6 or 7 and they all look the same with the same weapons. Even with the customization they still look the same. Especially the female ones.
Is revelations better than Brotherhood?
That is a difficult question. At the beggining i said " this game is absolutely superior" but now I don't know.
The grafics are deffenitly better.
The grafics are deffenitly better.
But the gameplay is worse.
Constantinople is surprisingly small. while in Brotherhood you had a great amount of side missions, in revelations there is a lack of side missions with just one mission per faction, 7 master assassin missions and some more piri reis missions where you learn some bomb recipes. So, you don't have much to do after completing the story apart from the big number of collectibles.
In collectibles you have got the Ishak Pashas memoir pages that lead to a new armor,

In collectibles you have got the Ishak Pashas memoir pages that lead to a new armor,
You got the memory fragments that lead to the Desmond Journey, a weird architectural first person adventure (WAFPA),
and you got the books that lead to nothing at all.
This game looks like a game to the people that in Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood had collected all the feathers and Borgia flags.
I will have to say that brotherhood is better and for me, the best Assassin's Creed game is still the second one. I expected so much more from this game. I thought that all the cities in the first one would be remaked and that we could go again in those cities following the steps of Altair, because what steps do we follow? the steps of Lara Croft? Exploring tombs and collecting collectibles?
Please Ubisoft, make assassin's creed 3 a good one. Make it an assassin's creed like the old days. An assassins creed where you travel and discover the ancient world an leave the shity GTA system away.
