9 Single Player Games With Criminally-Underrated Multiplayer Modes

4. Assassin's Creed III

Game Informer

Introduced in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, the multiplayer side of Ubisoft's series really began to flourish in the third main game in the franchise, with more customisable abilities and better map design that served to make this deadly game of hide and seek even more intense and enjoyable to play.

There isn't a whole lot of variation to be found, but the central idea of blending into the environment to get the drop on other players never gets old. It might be a bit boring to act as inconspicuously as possible while others in the game are jumping around rooftops, but it's more than worth the wait when you finally sneak up on a completely fooled enemy.

It's no wonder that the mode was eventually dropped from the series, but for fans of multiplayer based more on outsmarting the enemy than mindlessly firing bullets in their direction it's worth jumping back into these earlier Assassin's Creed titles for their multiplayer if you can get your hands on them.
