Tom Chick - "Oddly enough, if you accept that maybe this lovely ancient Egypt is worth admiring just a little longer, Assassin’s Creed: Origins eases into a sort of post-game retiree stage. There are a few puzzles baked into the map and a handful of collectibles to complete. There are rumors of four beasties that need killing, like the Spanish treasure galleons at the end of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag. You can visit all the question marks on the map to reveal locations of no gameplay consequence, but they’ll probably be plenty pretty. I recommend spending some time in the desert, because…well, I don’t want to spoil anything, but I’ll say that Silicon Knights would be proud. The traversal is certainly gratifying, so why not traverse some more? Why not parkour around some of history’s least parkourable geography or ride a horse with cruise control and a built-in bird’s eye view of some of the loveliest scenery you’ll see in a videogame? Why not think of Assassin’s Creed: Origins as a lovely and chill sightseer sim? It only took about forty hours of game tax to get here, but you’ve earned it."
Video game sequels like Assassin's Creed Origins, Doom (2016), and Fire Emblem Awakening were just what these franchises needed to be revitalized.
Lmao what’s Halo Infinite doing on this list?
Who would ever say Halo Infinite saved the Halo franchise
Thought the same - very bizarre!
RE7 though... my God, what a shift over RE6! That franchise was definitely going in the wrong direction, so RE7 was a welcome return to form.
Resi 6 was and still is the worst entry in the series.
7 was a great turnaround, despite people’s concerned about the switch to FP perspective.
DMC5 definitely helped the franchise after the whole DmC debacle. Whilst it was a decent action game, it was a far cry from the series and the characters we knew.
AC Origins is my favourite in the entire AC series. Despite the switch to a more RPG style of gameplay - the setting, soundtrack, length, etc were all amazing. sadly followed up by the ridiculously long and “more of the same” Odsyssey.
I don’t feel it’s fair to say the franchise slipped with Doom 3, Doom 3 was incredibly atmospheric and took the game in a different direction but there’s no denying Doom (2016) was sensational.
Halo 4 & 5 were disappointing but Halo Infinite definitely didn’t save the franchise? What?
I'm going to have to go with SMB 3. I was around when SMB 2 first came out and people hated it. 3 is still arguably the best mario game created.
"Halo Infinite"? Worse Halo ever. Whoever made this list just lost all credibility.
In future lists of a similar nature I have a suspicion Final Fantasy XVI will feature.
GF365: "Out of the many historically accurate games out there, these are our picks for the six best games that are historically accurate. While these games aren't completely accurate, they depict the times and situations of history well. Plus, they're all a lot of fun to play, too."
Historically accurate from the past is tough to truly know and judge especially the farther you go back because history is written from the people in power and doesn’t mean it’s the truth just the narrative they wanted to tell.
I don’t care about historically accurate in most games because they are games not biographies or history books . Just make the game fun , good gameplay and such .
Ghost of Tsushima wasn’t historically accurate in many things but I loved the game . Many examples like it .
Assassin's Creed and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege drive Ubisoft's financial results well above target.
ah clickbaiting again.
Quarter to Three is a joke of a website.
you can't rate Assassin's Creed Blackflag 10/10, Assassin's Creed III 10/10 and Assassin's Creed Origins 4/10. It doesn't make any sense.
Here are some other bogus reviews from them to get the clicks:
Lego City Undercover: 10/10 (Meta 80)
Halo 4: 2/10 (Meta 87)
Forza Horizon: 2/10 (Meta 86)
Company of Heroes: 2/10 (Meta 80)
Journey: 4/10 (Meta 92)
Beyond: Two Souls: 2/10 (Meta 70)
