10 Better Games That Were Secretly Hidden In Video Games

10. The Downfall Of The Knights Templar - Assassin's Creed Unity

Assassin's Creed Unity opens with one hell of a prologue sequence, in which players control a genetic memory of Jacques de Molay, the last grand master of the Knights Templar, during the sacking of the Paris Temple in 1307.

It's fascinating to both briefly play on the Templar side as one of de Molay's aides and get to witness de Molay's execution-by-burning at the behest of King Philip IV seven years later, in what remains the single-most unexpected and exciting prologue to any Assassin's Creed game.

Even once you get past Unity's infamous release - launching with a bevy of ridicule-worthy bugs - the rest of the game doesn't ever really measure up to those tantalising opening 15 minutes.

And as such, Ubisoft really missed a trick here: an entire game set in 14th century Paris focused around the fall of the Knights Templar and the end of the "Age of Wisdom" had massive potential, to offer a totally unique perspective and atmosphere.

In the very least, it would've added some welcome shade and intrigue to the Assassin-Templar War, which sounds far more interesting than what Unity gave us in reality. After all, Arno isn't exactly anyone's favourite protagonist now, is he?
