Assassin's Creed Identity

Assassin’s Creed Identity takes on a difficult challenge that many similar titles have failed to meet: it must bring the essence of a game world defined by console and PC games to smartphones and tablets without watering down the gameplay to the point of unrecognizability.

Developed in Düsseldorf and distributed worldwide by the French publisher Ubisoft, the game masterfully accomplishes this task: The visuals and sound are exceptionally good and make full use of all the latest features of Unity technology, while the game mechanics are adapted to the platform in a way that’s unique yet recognizable and appropriate. The game is perfect for casual play, is a lot of fun, and offers long-lasting challenges even for dedicated players.

The controls deserve special praise; there are three options available: movement via tap, control via virtual dual-sticks, or via gamepad.
