Assassin's Creed done right. An interactive Japanese history lesson supported by a top tier action game. It captures the messy politics of the era making the choices between Shogunate and Anti-Shogunate complicated to the point I found myself switching sides multiple times. It has some standout characterizations of historical figures with memorable, moving storylines which I wasn't expecting from Team Ninja since I find story to be the weakest parts of their games. They clearly love Japanese history, and it is infectious.
