The best Ubisoft games can transcend both the medium and genre. From Assassin’s Creed and the Tom Clancy franchise, including fan favorites like Lumines and Rayman franchises, there’s a lot to love from the developer/publisher.
MIGHT & MAGIC: CLASH OF HEROES
It’s a puzzle-strategy-RPG similar to the Puzzle Quest franchise, which piqued people’s interest based on that game’s success on the DS two years prior.
HUNGRY SHARK WORLD
Hungry Shark World was released for iOS and Android, later seeing a less successful console port for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
VALIANT HEARTS: THE GREAT WAR
World War 1 isn’t a common or popular video game setting. Valiant Hearts: The Great War is unique in this aspect, focusing on WWI over WWII.
BEYOND GOOD & EVIL
The cult classic Beyond Good & Evil is undoubtedly one of the best Ubisoft games. Despite its poor sales and, at times, uneven gameplay, this is one of the best games of the PS2/Xbox/GameCube era.
ASSASSIN’S CREED ODYSSEY
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is the high point in this era, thanks partly to the refinement from the “soft reboot” of Origins. The open world of Greece is well-designed, vibrant, and positively beautiful.
RAYMAN JUNGLE RUN
Gameplay wise, Rayman Jungle Run is just another Temple Run-style mobile game. Rayman automatically runs through each stage, and players must prompt Rayman to perform specific platforming abilities.
