10 Amazing Stories Trapped In Mediocre Video Games
4. Assassin's Creed Revelations
The Assassin's Creed games spent a lot of time on Ezio and the world surrounding Assassin's Creed 2. But they finally wrapped the whole thing up in order to move on with the franchise with the underappreciated Revelations.
Unlike the previous games, this is the first Assassin's Creed to center on more than one assassin at once, in this case protagonists Altair and Ezio, both of whom are at this point VERY old men. The game focuses on the twilight years of both of them as they unravel a conspiracy that stretches not only through their own respective time periods, but well into the present day.
While the gameplay is the same sort of thing Assassin's Creed had been doing up until that point, with a few added bits and bobs like a tower defense game that I'm sure SOMEONE was asking for, but for the life of me I couldn't tell you who. The story really is the biggest selling point the game has, tying up loose plot threads that the previous games had left hanging.
