Must-play Ubisoft games

Lo and behold, I have Ubisoft wallet funds! And it just happens to be that it’s everyone’s favourite time to buy games, Cyber Monday.

So, my question for all the Lemmings out there is: What are your top five (5) must-play Ubisoft games? I’m talking pseudo-classics, like AC2. Gems from the past decade that can run on anyone’s hardware. Note that the older the game is, the higher the discount is, and thus more accessible.

And…Discuss!

  • Rayman Origins
  • Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
  • Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

I actually don’t like any other Ubisoft games enough to put on a list next to these three. That’s not to say everything else is bad, just that the okayness of other things I like kind of blurs together and makes it impossible to say one is better than another.

I had fun with ac Valhalla, but i generally don’t like Ubisoft games

simple,

Easy choices honestly. From better to worse: Rayman Legends, Far Cry 3, Prince of Persia Sands of Time, Assassin’s Creed 4, Rainbow 6 Siege (only if you have friends to play with you)

Shoutout to Trackmania (2020) as well. Loads of fun if you’re a fan of racing, but it’s sadly behind a subscription service and isn’t a one-time purchase.

stealth_cookies,

+1 for trackmania as well. Yes it is a subscription but it is also only $10 for a year of standard access which gets you 4 campaigns and 365 TOTDs

Surprised nobody’s said The Division yet. The first one is incredible fun IMO, and the second one is good, but not as much fun.

520,

Rayman Origins and Legends are good picks if you're into 2D platformers. Both pretty old and Rayman isn't exactly a super relevant franchise anymore but these game are good and likely cheap. Not quite Super Mario Wonder but not far off.

Definitely play with a controller rather than KB+M

Davel23,

Immortals: Fenyx Rising is surprisingly good. It's basically Breath of the WIld without weapon breaking and no annoying weather preventing you from climbing things.

DeathWearsANecktie,

All the main Splinter Cell games. Relics of a time when Ubisoft games were good.

Watch Dogs 2 - They added more hacking gameplay. The characters are good. It’s multiplayer is fun. But the story is sub-par. Due to it’s pacing.

Far Cry 3 - It’s so good. Ubisoft copied it’s formula for all Far Cry games after it.

Assassin’s Creed - Great stealth, parkour gameplay, and how it used of it’s time period. Makes AC1 great. But it’s repetitive missions, boring open world outside of the cities, and Desmond part of the story. Really hurts the game.

amio,

Far Cry 3 and 4 are my favorites, 5 is OK. Those are the only Ubi games I'd care to recommend. 3 is pretty old.

averyminya,

Can’t forget Blood Dragon!

verysoft,

My top 5:

  1. Assassin's Creed 2
  2. Assassin's Creed Brotherhood

They are peak Ubisoft and the only games I'd say fall close to 'must-play'.

MrVilliam,

2 for the story, Brotherhood for the cleaner combat and tighter controls.

Gonna throw in a shout out to AC’s spritual precursor, Prince of Persia. Also can’t go wrong with Rayman or Rabbids.

Kevin11,

Prince of Persia looks super cool and is dirt cheap right now. I’ll for sure check it out.

The Anno series is pretty fun if you like the genre. I put several hours into Anno 1800 and enjoyed it. I'll likely get back to it at some point.

Kevin11,

I’m semi-into city building. Thanks for the tip

  • Kevin11,

    Sounds interesting! Thanks for the tip

    ani,

    Beyond Good and Evil is the only game from Ubi I remember to have played I liked

    Kevin11,

    Okay, I’ve seen that games cover a thousand times. What is it about?

    ani, (edited )

    I can only remember there is an evil organization doing evil things and the main character alongside her friends try to fight them to free the world. I found the gameplay pretty cool and the soundtrack as well

    edit: this track I really like it youtu.be/3Ua11Z9RHrA

    LinkOpensChest_wav,

    Watch Dogs 2 is one of my all-time favorite games

    The multiplayer mini games in it were so fun, though I’m not sure how many people engage in current year

    But the whole game is worth playing, even if some of it seems quaint by today’s standards

    Kevin11,

    Def gonna check it out on steam. (Better deals) Thanks for the confirmation tho. Have a good one
