Assassins Creed storms it
Ubisoft's return to the Ezio timeline in Assassins Creed for PS4 was a stroke of genius. Most players of the series so far rank the Ezio titles (AC2, Brotherhood & Revelations) as some of the best work Ubisoft have done with the whole timeline.
Bringing Ezio's world back onto PS4 with the touched up graphics,that make the cityscapes within the game absolutely gorgeous, Ubisoft and PS4 have allowed players to gall in live with the story and the character all over again.
Sure, the gameplay can become a bit samey throughout the 3 games but it's all worth it. The overall product is a triumph and I, for one, will be playing this collection over and over. Its just that damn good.

Like Risk, but without die rolls (2 more)
Deeply strategic game
Opportunity, like the books/TV show to make alliances with other house and then...honour them or betray them, often with game changing consequences.
Very long game! Circa 4-5 hours (5 more)
Games explanation takes a long time
Learning curve is high and will dissuade most players, given the time commitment and rules unfamiliarity, which can be exceptionally frustrating.
Need 6 players for game to be properly balanced
Will lead to a lot of analysis paralysis, requiring a bullish player to force players to make a decision
May lose you friends...
A Marmite Experience!
I love this game, but despite owning it for over 3 years, I have only played it 3 times. Each time, rules explanation took an hour and are not completely intuitive. Once explained, I almost guarantee that most players will not be able to remember the number of nuances involved in this game, leading to making a lot of random decisions at the beginning. However, as I explored the game more, I realised it addressed all the deficiencies I see in Risk - there is no chance from the roll of a die here, nor does being the most powerful player mean that things cannot turn, by virtue of the fact that players have a finite number of armies and units they can hold on the board...the more you expand, the thinner your forces and therefore easier for someone to start taking some of your territories. Additionally, the player interaction and forging alliances is interesting, but given the length and cutthroat nature of the game, people may genuinely get upset and not want to play. For GoT fans who are willing to put in the hard slog of learning and then playing the game, this is great. If you're on the fence, I suggest playing it first...it is not an easy game and is a test of one's endurance.
