Assassin-s Creed Revelations ✔ 【ULTIMATE】

The game’s genius is in its atmosphere. Constantinople is a city of tension: the rising Ottoman power versus the displaced Byzantines, tradition versus gunpowder.

Revelations opens on a decrepit carriage rolling through the Ottoman Empire’s heart: Constantinople (Istanbul). The color palette has shifted from vibrant gold and white to dusty ochre, deep blues, and the grey of an empire in decline. Assassin-s Creed Revelations

Mechanically, Revelations is Brotherhood refined
