Welcome to our gallery of the 15 best games by Ubisoft in video games! It's impossible to be truly objective, but this light-hearted opinion piece celebrates our favorite games by the French developer. Explore the list and share your own favorite Ubisoft games in the comments!
15. Trials Rising
Trail Rising can be a lot of fun as a couch co-op thanks to its absurd physical stunts. Sure, a little incomprehensible at times, but very easy to enjoy. | © Ubisoft
14. Child Of Light
Aurora's cute little adventure is especially nice thanks to it's charming art style, even if the gameplay is more basic. The mix of platforming and tactical turn-based combat is engaging though, and the story is great. | © Ubisoft
13. Valiant Hearts: The Great War
This is a great little puzzle adventure in a setting otherwise reserved for shooters. You play through stirring and lovingly-drawn stories from the First World War, while solving puzzles and meeting interesting characters. | © Ubisoft
12. Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle
A combination that no one would have wished for, but it works well. The tactical shooter may be a bit too easy for XCOM veterans, but the levels and different characters offer enough variety, and the boss fights in particular are very satisfying. | © Ubisoft
11. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas
With plenty of weapons, gadgets and an unusual setting for a shooter, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas is an unforgettable shooter. The mix of sneaking, scouting and surprising your enemies is what makes the game outstanding. Hopefully we get more PVE Rainbow games like this in the future. | © Ubisoft
10. Beyond Good & Evil
At first glance, it looks like just another action-adventure game with lots of different gameplay sections. But what makes Beyond Good & Evil, so good is its world, its charming characters and its humor. | © Ubisoft
9. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game
Even though beat 'em ups are becoming increasingly rare, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game has not only managed to bring the genre to a new audience, but it can easily hold its own with the old legends. Its art style makes for a simple but effective look, and the level design and upgrading of our abilities means it never gets boring. | © Ubisoft
8. Tom Clancy's The Division 2
Shoot'n Loot around Washington with your buddies. Not only has the gameplay improved from its predecessor, but the level design has also been greatly expanded. The child of Diablo II and Rainbow Six. | © Ubisoft
7. Rayman Legends
Rayman Legends shows that there are some great platformers out there besides Super Mario, and that they can shine with brilliant ideas. We were particularly impressed by the music level, where you have to time your jumps to match the beat. | © Ubisoft
6. South Park: The Stick of Truth
This is one of the very, very few comedy games that's actually hilarious, and the Mario Paper-style turn-based combat system with makes for really fun gameplay. A South Park fan's dream. | © Ubisoft
5. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
It's not for nothing that Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory remains one of the best stealth games of all time. The different approaches to missions and takedowns are outstanding, even by today's standards. Hopefully Sam Fisher will be back soon... | © Ubisoft
4. Far Cry 3
Even though Ubisoft are now ridiculed for their open world formula, Far Cry 3 is one of the most impressive they ever produced, and it was created at a time when the market wasn't over-saturated by games like these. | © Ubisoft
3. Prince of Persia: The Sands Of Time
The spiritual ancestor of Assassin's Creed has unforgettable level design, with a combat system that may be simple, but is also fun. But what really stands out is the 3D platforming. | © Ubisoft
2. Anno 1800
Even if opinions differ as to which part is the best, it is clear to us that 1800 occupies the throne. Ubisoft has not only managed to bring the construction game to consoles, but its technology has also managed to make our cities shine like never before. | © Ubisoft
1. Assassin's Creed 2
No game screams "Ubisoft" as loudly as Assassin's Creed. Even if the franchise hasn't been doing so well in the last few years (at least according to the ratings), the second game is still incredible today. With arguably the best protagonist of the series and one of the most beautiful settings, Assassin's Creed 2 won't fail to impress. From today's perspective, it is the best representation of what made the franchise so great in the first place. | © Ubisoft
