Ubisoft is a major video game publisher, known for popular franchises like Far Cry, Splinter Cell, Assassin’s Creed, and Rainbow Six, among many others. While they may not be releasing as many blockbuster titles recently, Ubisoft remains a significant force in the gaming industry. Beyond their biggest hits, the company also has a number of lesser-known, but still excellent, games.
This list highlights six Ubisoft games that might have slipped your mind. It’s not a complete record of everything Ubisoft has made, but rather a look at some of the lesser-known, enjoyable titles the company has released over time.
6) B.A.T. II – The Koshan Conspiracy
The Koshan Conspiracy was an early game from Ubisoft, released in 1992. It continued the story of B.A.T. and was available on the Amiga and Atari ST computers. A unique feature of the game for its time was the physical dongle it required – this was a common anti-piracy measure in the early 1990s.
Let’s be honest, The Koshan Conspiracy wasn’t a revolutionary game. This point-and-click adventure from Computer’s Dream didn’t really stand out in the genre. However, it did feature a huge world with more than 250 characters and plenty of minigames to keep things interesting. And you can’t help but notice how perfectly it captures the aesthetic of the 1990s with its cover art.
5) Silent Hunter III
Although Ubisoft didn’t publish the original Silent Hunter game, they collaborated with Aeon Electronic Entertainment for the second installment. Later, Ubisoft took full control of the series, assigning development to their Bucharest studio.
This U-boat simulator isn’t for all players, but it offers realistic naval combat through its engaging campaign and historically accurate missions. Silent Hunter III was named Best Simulation by Computer Games Magazine and remains the highest-rated game in the series. While we probably won’t see a new Silent Hunter game, fans were lucky to get this one.
4) Driver: San Francisco
Just like with the Silent Hunter series, Ubisoft didn’t create the original Driver games, but they became involved with the franchise around the time it reached its peak. Driver: San Francisco is a follow-up to Driver 3 and is set in the San Francisco Bay Area, as the title suggests.
In this game, you take on the role of John Conner, a detective who has been in a coma. As you play, you’ll uncover his past through surreal, dream-like scenes. The most exciting new feature is ‘Shift,’ which allows Conner to instantly teleport between vehicles. For the first time in the series, the game features 140 licensed cars, and you can share videos of your best driving moments with friends while exploring San Francisco. However, the game is best experienced on any platform except the Wii.
3) Red Steel 2
The original Red Steel for the Wii didn’t quite live up to expectations. Players wanted immersive sword fighting using the Wii’s motion controls, but Ubisoft wasn’t fully successful. Fortunately, they didn’t give up and created a completely new Red Steel game as a follow-up.
I loved Red Steel 2! The first game didn’t quite hit the mark, but the sequel was amazing – easily one of the best games on the Wii. It was just so stylish and fast-paced, letting you switch between awesome sword fights and shooting action. The Wii MotionPlus really made the controls feel incredible, but honestly, a lot of fans were hesitant after the first game. It’s a shame, because the second game was a huge improvement in almost every way, yet it didn’t sell as well. And because of that, we’ve never seen a third game, which is a real disappointment.
2) Call of Juarez: Gunslinger
While Red Dead Redemption is the most popular Wild West video game, other great options exist. Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is considered the best game in the Call of Juarez series, even surpassing Bound in Blood.
Both games are enjoyable, but Gunslinger stands out with its exciting and over-the-top take on the spaghetti western genre. The arcade mode was a great addition, giving players a good reason to keep playing after the main story. Gunslinger also redeemed the series after The Cartel, which was a particularly weak entry and almost ended Call of Juarez altogether.
1) Brother in Arms: Earned in Blood
There are several great Brothers in Arms games worth mentioning, and I wouldn’t disagree with anyone who included them. Road to Hill 30 and Hell’s Highway are both fantastic, but I personally think Earned in Blood is the best. While the story is even more impactful if you’ve played Road to Hill 30 first, it’s still a strong game on its own.
This game puts you in command of soldiers fighting in World War II, challenging you to survive intense battles. It features realistic combat with levels designed to give you freedom and many different strategic options. While future installments are uncertain, and it’s unlikely Gearbox will partner with Ubisoft on them, the quality of the initial games remains impressive.
