That’s not to say that everything it bad about Revelations. The game certainly deserves praise for its excellent Assassin’s Tomb missions (or whatever they’re called here). They’re easily the best in the series and were something I always looked forward to while playing. I also still really dig the multiplayer. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I enjoy the slower, methodical structure to the fast-paced, twitchy online modes that most games have today. And despite all the misgivings I may have about the new content, the core Assassin’s Creed gameplay is still a lot of fun.
There may be a chance that I’m just beginning to experience a bit of Assassin’s Creed fatigue, but Revelations really feels like a lazy effort to me. Turning this into a yearly franchise probably wasn’t such a great idea, and Ubisoft really needs to do some work with what is presumably going to be Assassin’s Creed 3 next year. I still want to keep up with the series, but if they just keep churning out games like Revelations, I’m going to start losing interest.
The rest of these writeups shouldn’t be as negative or review-y (or long!) as this one, but I just finished Revelations a couple days ago and needed to vent about it. As I said at the beginning, this is more just be being frustrated with the game as opposed to downright disliking it.
