Mark from GamersFTW writes his opinion on the Top 5 Assassins in Gaming
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.
He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.

Where is Assassins Creed?!
No Harman Smith from Killer 7, Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes, or Mondo Zappa from Killer is Dead?
My fav is Agent 47 but cant have a list without Ezio. He was the bomb!
Agree with the Ezio comment. He was my fave!
Nice article, I was a little sad that it wasn't the top 10 rather than top 5 but appreciate the amount of detail you've put into each of the entries (the amount of videos felt a little bit too much though). Dishonored is the first sneaking assassin game that I've actually enjoyed, loved the gameplay I felt so slick and powerful, even if I didn't kill people.
