“Switch into the SLAVE PERSONA” is all I need to say, game is mad out of pocket 😭

"Maybe you will be the one to make all this suffering worth something in the end. Now... listen..."

My favorite Ezio game, and my favorite AC for a reason.

No other AC game will ever beat Revelations.

THE MOST ASSASSIN TO EVER CREED. THE MOST ASSASSINS CREED OF ALL TIME.

Seriously though, the game is mechanically better than it’s previous game, AC2, but where it falls flat is the story, nothing really happens at all, and what does happen is pretty meh compared to the games it sandwiches itself betweeen.

The introduction to the assassin contracts is pretty cool, but lacks any real substance.
Music is cool too.

A very okay game, just not really anything special, sadly.

AC2 is a very important game to me, it introduced me to the series as a kid, and I still hold it very dear to my heart.

However, the game is most definitely a product of it's time, and has aged pretty poorly in regards to its mechanics, especially in the parkour/free running. To put it bluntly, it's a very clunky and honestly infuriating thing to deal with, especially considering how fine tuned it is in the recent games, but despite saying that, it definitely adds to its charm.

The story is a bit lacking in the middle chapters, sequences 1-4 offer great worldbuilding, and sequences 10, 11 and 14 are great at setting up what brotherhood and revelations would later explain in their own stories.

The music in this game is also incredible, Kyd's creation of the titular "Ezio's Family" has gone on to be the flagship track for each future entry, and for good reason.

All in all, I still love this game, but a remaster in Mirages engine (since they said they were going back to their roots) would be very welcome indeed.

Just consider that this is a very obvious product of its time, as I mentioned above.
