Imagine someone controlling your mind and making you do things that you don’t want to do! Well this is what happened to Desmond when he stabbed his friend Lucy. By him going into a coma he was returned to the animus, the virtual-reality machine that read genetic memory. He then falls into an animus back door where he is set out to gathers all his shattered memories so he can wake up from the coma by locating a key memory that links him to altair and ezio.
He then begins reliving the later memories of Ezio. Ezio thus sets out on a journey to his predecessor's homeland, which he discovers has been overrun by the Templars. There, he finds an ancient safe, which is locked away, and can only be opened with five keys. The search for these seals takes him on a quest to locate the Journal that has all the locations of all the keys, he realizes that there is a large number of Templars in the city. Ezio must follow in the footsteps of his spiritual mentor Altaïr – footsteps which will lead him to discovery and revelation.

You will be playing as Ezio the main character in assassin’s creed revelations, during the campaign you will face of a lot of Templars which you will be able to use a couple of new weapons. One of the is the hookblade in which you use to travel quick and zipline your way throughout the city on rooftops. It can also be used as a weapon and take downs. This new features makes revelations a more enjoyable game to play. Also you have the bomb crafting where you can build and customize bombs to suit your needs, the bombs can be lethal, tactical and use as a diversion. In the walkthrough you can see when using when is a good tactical move to use bombs is when you are surrounded by too many enemies . Another feature is my favorite which is the eagle sense where you can see through smoke in combat and see what is your enemy next move. The combination of smoke bomb and and eagle sense is a experience that you don’t want to miss.
The control mechanism are great, your character’s responsiveness is good, the air attacks with the parashoot is a must do in the game. The combat mode is similar to Batman Arkham city where you do counter attacks,takedowns, quick attacks and use all sort of weapons to defend or attack. Once you defeat your opponent you can see what they carry and loot it. You carry with you primary and secondary weapons, but take a look at our other articles on weapons to find out more about weapons.
Graphics of the game are great and you can see the details on the clothing, weapons, buildings and sceneries. The different type of weather that you go through make it a more pleasing game to enjoy. The sound of the game is good as it pays attention to details.
With the new weapons, eagle sense and combat mode, Assassin's Creed Revelations is a game that you will be playing and coming back to it to play it again. This game is a must buy and received a 8.5 out of 10.
