Rayman, Assassin's Creed, Prince of Persia: Ubisoft, the French giant, shines in platforming, adventure and open worlds. RomWize re-ranks the publisher's best games by its re-evaluated scores, each with its current score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"The unlikely pairing of Mario and the Rabbids yields a surprisingly clever turn-based tactics game. Cover, chained movement and snappy slides turn battles into genuine brain-teasers, served with welcome offbeat humor."
"Rayman 2 Revolution remixes the Ubisoft classic for PS2. More cutscenes, a central hub and beefed-up dialogue. The 3D platformer remains gorgeous and moving, an essential."
"This sequel frees up movement by ditching the grid for looser, open exploration. The Sparks add varied powers and the planets brim with activities, making for a tactics game more accessible and colorful than the first."
"Ubisoft Montpellier masterpiece unjustly forgotten at launch. Jade is a memorable heroine, the dystopian universe unique, gameplay varies between investigation, stealth and combat. A game every adventure game fan should play."
"AC III plunges Connor Kenway into the American Revolution with a wild frontier, snowy Boston, Lexington and Concord. Ambitious and spectacular despite a slow ramp-up. The saga's best setting."
"The most action-focused Splinter Cell. Multiple playstyle approaches work well together. Strong Spies vs Mercs cooperative mode. A solid entry despite some franchise fatigue at the time of its release."
"Far Cry 4 is a generous sequel in the Himalayas with Pagan Min and the Kyrat resistance. Vertical open world with rideable gyrocopters and elephants, online co-op. Less memorable than FC3 but excellent."
"AC II GOTY and AC I bundle, ideal combo to discover the saga's first two peaks. Foundational AC I in the Holy Land, masterful AC II in the Renaissance. The best possible entry into the series."
"AC IV Black Flag and Rogue bundle, the perfect duo for the post-ACIII era. Pirate Edward in the Caribbean and Templar Shay in the Atlantic. Two complementary perspectives for the price of one big game."
"Blood Dragon turns Far Cry 3 into a gleeful spoof of 80s action flicks with neon, VHS grain and a pitch-perfect Michael Biehn. Short, sharp and hilarious, one of the decade's best stand-alones for fans of that kitsch aesthetic."
"Ubisoft Montréal modernise Splinter Cell with a more vengeful Sam Fisher and an efficient mark-and-execute system. Wall-projected staging paces the storytelling, Deniable Ops mode extends the adventure in co-op, and the 360 receives one of the most gripping Splinter Cells in the entire franchise."
"The Ezio Trilogy compiles AC II, Brotherhood and Revelations, Ezio's complete journey. Travel through the Italian Renaissance with the saga's most beloved character. Essential to discover the series at its best."
"AC Brotherhood is the direct sequel to AC II with Rome under Cesare Borgia, assassin network to manage, revolutionary multiplayer. Improves everything that made AC II excellent. One of the best in the saga."
"The European edition under the Puzzle Fusion name, the exact same hypnotic beast with an added ad hoc versus mode. To discover the original Lumines on a PSP screen in Europe, this is the starting point."
"Obsidian turn South Park into a hilarious RPG with extraordinary visual fidelity to Matt Stone and Trey Parker's show. Turn-based combat plays it safe but the jokes fire constantly, the storytelling switches between scatological mayhem and epic heroism, and the result remains an absolute peak among licensed comedy games."

"Lumines Electronic Symphony is a musical puzzle masterpiece on Vita. Merge blocks on a luminous board with hypnotic electronic music. Addictive and sublimely audio-visual."
"Ubisoft Montréal reinvent the franchise with a Prince paired with Elika and a no-death system that changes everything. The cel-shaded visuals remain gorgeous, the dialogue writing is tasty, and the adventure provides a refreshing breath in modern adventure-platforming."
"Japanese version of Prince of Persia Warrior Within. Content identical to the international version. For Japanese players or collectors seeking the original JP version of this dark and ambitious POP."
"Heritage Collection gathers AC 1 through Revelations, five games in one package. The complete saga from its historic beginnings to Ezio's conclusion. Exceptional value for new players."
