Lo and behold, I have Ubisoft wallet funds! And it just happens to be that it's everyone's favourite time to buy games, Cyber Monday.

So, my question for all the Lemmings out there is: What are your top five (5) must-play Ubisoft games? I'm talking pseudo-classics, like AC2. Gems from the past decade that can run on anyone's hardware. Note that the older the game is, the higher the discount is, and thus more accessible.

And...Discuss!

Splinter Cell: Conviction. I’ve never played the predecessors that people rave about but Conviction is intense and has some of the best stealth mechanics in any game.

Watch_Dogs got a lot of shit when it first came out for not living up to expectations, but like Cyberpunk 2077, what is there is a really compelling and well-executed crime drama with some fun gameplay gimmicks.

Far Cry 3 is what many consider to be the last good Far Cry. I’d argue Far Cry 4 is since it’s in the mountains and you have a climbable, swingable grappling hook AND a wing suit.

For Honor is an incredible cross between 3rd person action and a fighting game a la Mortal Kombat. It’s the best 3rd person multiplayer game available.

Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag is the absolute best story driven pirate video game in existence.

Rainbow Six: Siege is easily the smartest, most intellectually stimulating competitive FPS ever made. If you put in the time to learn all the core mechanics well, then it becomes incredibly rewarding to uncover all the creative ways you can utilize the unique abilities of all the operators.

Yeah, but not till the end and 4 is set in the mountains where it’s actually fun to use.

My dumb ass thought you guys were talking about Assassin's Creed.

Splinter cell looks super cool, I'm about to buy watch_dogs on steam I've got FC3, but 4 looks sick Never heard about for Honor, sounds neat might check it out Really enjoying AC2 right now, might pick up BF

Thanks for the recommendations!

I loved AC2. I don’t think there’s enough different in Brotherhood, Revelations, or 3 to warrant playing them. Black Flag is a fantastic time.

I truly believe Far Cry 4 is just a more fun FC3 with a more interesting but shallower story

2, Brotherhood and Revelations are all Ezio trilogy, right? So is it more content or more of the same.

FC4 is getting some rave reviews

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah they are the Ezio trilogy. If you like Ezio, you can play them but gameplay-wise it’s really more of the same, just in Rome (which might as well be bigger Florence) and Constantinople.

Alright then. Good to know. Thanks for the tip.

Watch Dogs 2 is marginally better, mostly because the protagonist isn't the most unlikeable person in the world.
