The best Assassin's Creed game that's not an Assassin's Creed game. You really only want to play this not for the story nor for the land gameplay, but instead purely for the thrilling and crunchy naval battles. It's a shame no game at this point in time has been able to equal Black Flag's incredible ship combat and its memorable bosses.

I have extremely fond memories of playing this coop growing up as one of the 360s launch titles. Its obviously an extremely flawed game but the idea of an RTS with direct control elements continues to be a compelling formula to this day. The Clean Wermacht myth perpetuation is unfortunate as it is inaccurate.

It's definitely improved by leaps and bounds thanks to its continued labor of love from the developers after a disastrous launch. I came to the game very late in its life and enjoyed my time with it, but at some point you get bored and the planets start all looking and feeling the same. Its reach is longer than its grasp.

A masterpiece in RPG and third person shooter design, this took everything about the first game and turned it up to 11. While the stakes were not as high, the Elusive Man makes for a fantastic villain and your companions stories this time around are much more engaging and poignant (except Jacob). No other game for me has exceeded the emotional highs and lows of this masterclass, and it still stands on its own.

My favorite of the Dragon Age games and one of my favorite RPGs of all time. Especially for the time, it offered unparalleled depth and choice for an RPG, all in a package that was complex yet accessible for newcomers to the genre. The first time I romanced an NPC and greatly enjoyed the experience.
