Top 10 Ubisoft Games That Made History

In recent times, Ubisoft has become somewhat maligned by players. The current generation has seen the French publisher concentrate on creating open-world games. Most of their releases have followed a similar formula, making what were once distinctive franchises all feel the same.

But that does not mean that Ubisoft has always been like that. Throughout its history, Ubisoft has developed some of the most popular and critically acclaimed games of its time. Here are the top 10 Ubisoft games that made history.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege

Many people were skeptical when Rainbow Six Siege was first announced. This 2015 game completely ditched any form of narrative in exchange for a focus on online multiplayer. That decision paid off, with Rainbow Six Siege becoming one of the most popular shooters of the last few years. The refined gunplay, nuanced tactical options, and steady updates have ensured a constant supply of tense multiplayer matches. This more than makes up for the lack of a single-player campaign.

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood

Although the Call of Juarez series has performed relatively well, there are still plenty of people who haven’t experienced it. 2009’s Bound in Blood is undoubtedly the best game in the franchise. Refining many of the elements from the first game, this sequel was a far more complete package.

Outside of the solid shooting mechanics and engaging story, Bound in Blood introduced elements not usually seen in a Western. These included stealth-based gameplay, which added plenty of depth. Ultimately, it was probably the most engrossing game set in this period until Red Dead Redemption came out a year later.
