00:00Welcome to Mojo Plays and today we're taking a look at the 10 Greatest Games Ubisoft Has
00:13Ever Made.
00:18Before we begin we publish new videos all week long, so be sure to subscribe to Mojo
00:23Plays and ring the bell to be notified about our latest videos.
00:27Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
00:38While the first two Splinter Cell games had some captivating ideas, they both inflicted
00:42some frustration in their difficulty and stealth mechanics.
00:46Chaos Theory, on the other hand, managed to find that striking balance in difficulty.
00:51Rarely did it ever feel like you were getting caught by some random thing the game never
00:55hinted at.
00:56Every level effectively communicates to you what you need to do, where enemies might be
01:00guarding and it does so while demanding you plot out your moves before charging in.
01:05The graphics and story were just icing on an already tasty cake.
01:09If only we could get more of these Tom Clancy games instead of tacking his name onto anything
01:13military themed.
01:20Far Cry 3
01:28Some might point to Far Cry 3 and its radio towers as the start of the saturation of open
01:33world games.
01:34That might be true to some extent, but there is a reason behind that.
01:38Far Cry 3 was truly an excellent game from start to finish, radio towers included.
01:44In addition to showing how to make a compelling villain the star of your game instead of the
01:48hero, Far Cry 3 made you feel like a lethal one-man army as you barged into enemy camps
01:53that became more armed to the teeth the further you progressed.
01:57It created a pace that made you feel like a true badass, like Rambo without making the
02:01game feel like a dumb power fantasy.
02:04It was here that Far Cry found its format for the next several games.
02:18Valiant Hearts The Great War
02:26Ubisoft's teams have crafted some smaller yet wonderful games.
02:30Child of Light and Grow Home are among some of their best work, but in their brief period
02:35of exploring more bite-sized titles, the first Valiant Hearts has resonated with us to this
02:40day.
02:41While the art style is rather unique and appealing to the eye, the story and its characters tell
02:45a tale that is brutal and gut-wrenching.
02:48Come for the clever puzzles, stay for the emotional story, and we'll leave it at that
02:53for you to go experience for yourselves if you haven't already.
03:01Rainbow Six Siege It is a true wonder how Rainbow Six Siege
03:09has lasted as long as it has.
03:11We aren't saying that like it's a bad game or anything, no, far from it.
03:15But for players to continuously come back to a tactical shooter like this, despite it
03:19being almost a decade old, it's truly mesmerizing how Ubisoft is still finding new ideas to
03:25integrate here.
03:26New maps, new operatives with new abilities to change the way you and your team plays,
03:31and new game modes to appeal to almost any player have allowed Siege to live prosperously
03:36in an ever-competitive market.
03:38That's honestly plenty of reason to call it one of the best games Ubisoft has ever
03:42made, right?
03:49Beyond Good and Evil The adventure of investigative reporter Jade
03:57comes from a more experimental time in gaming, long forgotten, an era we may never get back.
04:03Beyond Good and Evil was a special game in how it gave the spotlight to a captivating
04:07female protagonist, focused on themes of politics and conspiracy while incorporating
04:11photography into gameplay, all while telling a fantastic narrative combining science fiction
04:17with anthropomorphic cartoon animals.
04:20It was such a unique game on the market, which makes it sad to know that the game failed
04:24to gain any ounce of commercial success.
04:27Still, Ubisoft fans ought to try this out for themselves before Beyond Good and Evil
04:312 rolls around, if that game ever does.
04:41Rayman Legends Rayman Legends was the Super Mario World
04:51to Ubisoft's Nintendo, and it was just as brilliant as the Plumber's SNES outing.
04:56Just look at this game!
04:58Ubisoft's own Ubiart framework engine was at maximum potential here, with its gorgeous
05:04color schemes, shadows, lighting, and animation.
05:08As for the gameplay, the level design allowed players to gracefully and hastily blaze through
05:12vibrant worlds filled with imaginative characters.
05:16And this goes without mentioning the clever implementation of music-based platforming
05:20challenges like Castle Rock.
05:22Ladies and gentlemen, this was the best Rayman game Ubisoft ever delivered, and it's why
05:27we've been begging for Rayman's return ever since.
05:37Watch Dogs 2 It's a real shame that Watch Dogs never
05:48took off, but of the games in the franchise you should play, it's Watch Dogs 2.
05:53This was where Ubisoft's level designers got to flex their creative muscles and explore
05:57the idea of incorporating multiple solutions to combat and stealth scenarios.
06:02You could hack cameras and phones, use drones to take out enemies and survey the area, anything
06:07in your arsenal was at your command, and if you had to whip out the pistols, well, time
06:12to change plans.
06:13It truly felt like an adventure in near-future crime.
06:21Mario Plus Rabbids Sparks of Hope The very first Mario Plus Rabbids was such
06:32a pleasant surprise in how it made tactical RPG mechanics work within the confines of
06:38two very unlikely IPs.
06:41Even more, it borrowed concepts from both IPs to create unique mechanics and levels.
06:46Sparks of Hope takes the same approach, while making things more challenging by changing
06:50the order of play.
06:52Characters now have more freedom to move about, but now, your position matters more than ever
06:57as attacking will end your character's turn and can put you at a disadvantage if you aren't
07:01paying attention to your enemies.
07:03And with each character having such diverse abilities, you'll be mixing and matching
07:07teammates with each other for creative setups.
07:10It's truly a must-play for Switch owners, especially when considering the imaginative
07:15DLC packs that bring in new enemies and new playable characters.
07:19Great Man Prince of Persia Sands of Time
07:34You could easily choose to play any Prince of Persia and be guaranteed a really good
07:39time.
07:40The thing that makes Sands of Time shine the brightest, though, is just how riveting and
07:44magical it all feels.
07:45From the way you can wall-run to the ability to slide down curtains and banners like a
07:50heroic scoundrel, Sands of Time gives you so much freedom in your movement that it creates
07:55interesting puzzles and platforming challenges.
07:58The controls may not strike every player these days, but for those of us who grew up in the
08:02early 2000s, this was one of the best games to play, and it kind of still is.
08:12Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
08:20Everyone has their favorite Assassin's Creed game, or the AC game that they consider to
08:23be the best in the franchise.
08:26For us at Mojo Plays, that would be Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.
08:30For starters, it is an incredibly well-polished game with nary a bug or glitch in sight, which
08:35feels like something that is hard to say about most modern Ubisoft games.
08:40It's also one of the very, very few Assassin's Creed games where it felt like you were in
08:45cahoots with other Assassins as you assembled groups to go on other missions while you focus
08:51on more important matters.
08:53Story-wise, it offers interesting angles on Ezio's character while tackling sensitive
08:57subject matter rather well.
08:59If you really want to see a moment where Ubisoft was at the absolute top of their game, this
09:05was it.
09:10What's your favorite Ubisoft game you've played?
09:13There are plenty to choose from.
09:14Mine personally within the last few years was Immortals Fenyx Rising.
09:19But let us know down in the comments, and be sure to subscribe to Mojo Plays for more
