Assassin's Creed Origins is taking the treasured serious way, way back in time. But it contrasts heavily to the major step forward nearly everything else takes.
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.
just so happy to see AC back!
I like the look of it but I'm not sure what to think of the Eagle thing...at least Eagle Vision in past games made sense as it was in their DNA, gave them something special over normal human beings. Now your Eagle manages to let you know someway that there's something near by.
I love Ancient Egypt. Can't wait for this game.
I got a similar feeling while watching it. I liked the article and it's good to hear. I like the arkham style combat system but it looks like they went for a different, less challenging approach. I was worried until I saw the axe gameplay which looked great. Black flag was the last AC I really got into but I'm hyped for origins.
Looks big. Sadly I don't know the series very well, but the old ones were very well-received as far as I can remember ...
