Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist

Ubisoft Toronto · 2013

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist is a 2013 action-adventure stealth game developed by Ubisoft Toronto — its debut project. It gives players three clear paths: silent infiltration, aggressive stealth, or direct combat — each supported by tools like the Tri-Rotor drone, light destruction, corpse hiding, and sensor goggles. It runs in third-person. Players rotate the camera, crouch, run, and scale ledges. Killing alerts enemies who see corpses — so hiding bodies is essential. The game’s strength is its tight, readable cause-and-effect loop. Its weakness is the separation of its systems: stealth, action, and progression never fully converge.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

Ubisoft Montreal · 2005

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is a 2005 stealth action game developed by Ubisoft Montreal. It refines the series' core stealth loop around two interdependent detection systems: light exposure and relative noise. Guards react intelligently to environmental changes and coordinate tactically. Alarms trigger only on discovery—not on being seen—and no longer cause automatic failure. It expands close-quarters options and introduces equipment loadouts tied to lethality constraints.

TrackMania Turbo (2016 video game)

Nadeo · 2016

TrackMania Turbo is a 2016 arcade racing game by Nadeo. It delivers stunt-focused, high-speed racing across four themed locations—Canyon Grand Drift, Valley Down and Dirty, Rollercoaster Lagoon and International Stadium—with over 200 tracks. It includes a single-player campaign, cooperative Double Driver mode, local split-screen for up to four players on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, and a track editor with random generation.

Far Cry (video game)

Crytek · 2004

Far Cry (2004) is a first-person shooter set in a dynamic tropical archipelago. It uses environmental cover, sound, and optical tools to create a sensor-driven combat loop. Enemies react, coordinate, and communicate. Its open maps contrast with linear missions. It is Crytek’s debut AAA title, built on CryEngine, and the first Far Cry game.

Just Dance (video game)

Ubisoft · 2009

Just Dance (2009) is a Wii-exclusive rhythm game published by Ubisoft. Players use only the Wii Remote in their right hand to mirror on-screen dancers’ choreography. Moves are scored X, OK, or Great. Shake moves trigger a shake meter for bonus points. Each song has two scoring targets: 10,000 (Standard) and 15,000 (Master). Four modes include Standard, Warm Up, Strike a Pose, and Last One Standing. It is one of Ubisoft’s core, long-running franchises.

Steep (video game)

Ubisoft · 2016

Steep is a sports video game developed by Ubisoft Annecy and published by Ubisoft. It was released worldwide on 2 December 2016 for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One. It is an online multiplayer extreme sports game set in a vast open world based on real mountain ranges including the Alps, Alaska Range, and mountains in Japan and Korea. Players explore a freely navigable open world set in the Alps, centered on Mont Blanc. The game can be played from either a first-person or third-person perspective. The game uses GoPro-style camera angles during races. The four main activities are skiing, wingsuit flying, snowboarding, and paragliding. Later DLC added rocket-powered wingsuit flying, sledding, BASE jumping, and speed riding. Players switch between activities using the game's menu wheel.

Far Cry 2

Ubisoft Montreal · 2008

Far Cry 2 is a systemic shooter where every choice carries weight—and every weight pulls you deeper into the war’s inertia.

Far Cry 3

Ubisoft Montreal · 2012

Far Cry 3 is a first-person shooter set on a pirate- and mercenary-controlled tropical archipelago. Ubisoft Montreal developed it in 2012 using the Dunia engine, building on its work with Far Cry 2.

Far Cry 4

Ubisoft Montreal · 2014

Far Cry 4 is a polished, iterative open-world shooter that prioritises environmental spectacle and weapon-led combat over narrative weight or systemic innovation. It works best when treated as a tactical sandbox — not a story world.

Far Cry 5

Ubisoft Montreal · 2018

Far Cry 5 is a first-person shooter developed by Ubisoft Montreal and released in 2018. It runs on the Dunia engine. Players explore Hope County freely on foot or by vehicle. They customise their silent protagonist, engage in ranged and melee combat, and use a ballistics system with bullet drop. Progression is region-based: most of the world opens after the intro, and Resistance Points earned through actions trigger story events.

Far Cry 6

Ubisoft Montreal · 2021

Far Cry 6 is a first-person shooter set on the fictional Caribbean island of Yara, where the player assumes the role of Dani Rojas, a guerrilla fighter attempting to topple the dictatorship of Antón Castillo.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

Ubisoft Montreal · 2003

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2003) is a foundational third-person action-adventure by Ubisoft Montreal that reimagined the franchise’s 2D roots as a 3D parkour-and-time-rewind system. Built around acrobatic traversal, trap navigation, and sand-infected enemy combat, it uses the Dagger of Time to rewind mistakes and freeze or kill foes — turning time into a limited, tactical resource. Farah provides AI archery assistance that doubles as environmental hazard. Health is restored at water sources; magic fountains expand maximum health. The dynamic third-person camera shifts contextually, denying manual control. Released in 2003, it was a critical and financial success — over 14 million copies sold by 2014 — and launched a trilogy.
