"YOU DIED"

There was penis

You're gonna have a stroke. Actually lots of them, but if you can gather at least 2 other chimpanzes whom you call friends to play with you it's amazing. It's just pure fun.

The final Ezio Trilogy AC game and sadly in my opinion the weakest. The lack of "italian" in the game seems weird after spending so much time with Ezio in all those beautiful Italian cities, but, Constantinople isn't a bad location in the least. It's still lively, detailed and beautiful as all the other previous game locations and the differences are clear. You can really feel that you're not in Renaissance Italy but rather somewhere to the East.
My grudges with it boils down to the fact that the side characters don't seem as interesting except maybe for Sofia. It kept the previous game's mechanic of having "nodes" you could conquer and also the shop system.
It also includes the "Brotherhood" mechanic introduced in the last game and even has a part of tower defense which was surprisingly fun.
The platforming is great and provided what I consider the best sequence ever as Ezio chases a boat parkouring along a river. It just feels great.
Personally I had a bit less fun than the two previous games but still it was amazing and the ending is just pure bliss. It's everything an AC fan could wish for. I believe it was a good ending to the Ezio trilogy and a good way to let out amazing protagonist finally rest. If you're interested in AC you should definitely play it.

The sequel to what I still consider to be the best AC game storywise. Seeing as how brotherhood starts exactly where AC2 ended you'll instantly have a feeling of nostalgia and knowing what is going on. If you play it right after playing AC2 there's good continuity but even if you play it years later like I did everything just sits right into place as soon as the game boots.
Even though it utilizes the good old "protagonist finally hits his objective but then loses everything having to restart" cliché I personally think it manages to pull it off convincingly so it doesn't bother me too much.
It expanded on the "upgrading shops" mechanic introduced in the previous installment by expanding the number of shops available.
It also introduced a completely new mechanic in which you can recruit citizens and evolve them into full fledged assassins allowing you to build your own Brotherhood and even call for help in a fight leading to some incredible fighting sequences.
The main drawback I found with this game was the city. Not the design but the fact that you're always in Rome. There's no Firenze, no Venice. It's always Rome, although the city is amazing and the Coloseum especially looks fantastic.
The platforming is still there and it's still great as always.
Honestly this game was a true successor to AC2 and I think it held up to the expectations I had. It's a lovely game and you should definitely get it.

Assassin's Creed is the perfect sequel. There's no other way to put it. It took the great things of the first game and improved on the MASSIVELY. The story is just a m a z i n g, the cities look gorgeous, Ezio is still the best Assassin's Creed Protagonist to date, the Hidden Blade's upgrades and the interactions with Leonardo DaVinci add another level of fun to an already fun mechanic.
The added puzzles just make the cities feel even more real enciting you to explore every nook and cranny.
There's only two things I can point, the rooftops still mantain that "flatness" from the first game which I didn't like and the parry ability, also carried over. The parry just makes fights kind of meaningless. If you can time your attacks correctly you're unkillable especially since now you can use your hidden blades in combat (although that's quite fun honestly).
AC2 is still my favorite game of the series and the Ezio Trilogy represents what I consider to be the Gold Standard for the AC franchise (in story terms at least, although if a Remaster was made it would probably fix all the issues which mostly boil down to the time the game was made).

The original Assassin's Creed. It created a series that is still going strong and there's a reason. No, it's not a perfect game. It's far from it. The animations look very dated, the graphics vary drastically from place to place like per example when you're in the streets the game actually looks decent, the city feels lively, but as soon as you climb on the rooftops it's just a bunch of plain slabs making it look dull. But these are merely nitpicks. The biggest issue it has is the repetition. Without wanting to spoil it for those who haven't yet played you're given 9 tasks and sadly, they can all be completed in the same way. While the story is compeling I felt as if I was just wanting to get to the story parts, glossing over the things I was doing.
Nonetheless, this game is incredibly fun and it honestly got me hooked instantly. The world feels lively, the interactions with the surroundings are what makes AC, not to mention that satisfaction of finally killing your target with the Hidden Blade.
Another strong point is the character development. Altair begins as an entitled brat but by the end of the game it feels like a totally different personality while still mantaining the Altair feel.
If you're indecisive about buying it or not, do it. You can find the game pretty cheap during sales and it will give you about 15 hours of amazing story and entertainment, probably even more since the sequels do add up and especially AC2 is a massive improvement.

It's rocket league. You drive cars, you hit balls, you score goals, you lose with one second left and rage then queue up again. IMO the biggest advantage this game has is how short the matches are, 10 mins in and out. Honestly if you don't get too heated at every small mistake you can have a lot of fun especially in Chaos (4v4) with a full team.
The game runs great and looks pretty good for the type of graphics it wants to have.
While sometimes you might be absolutely DESTROYED skill isn't something I find very important. If you know the basics you can hit that ball and do just fine unless the dude on the other end is a space engineer.
Honestly the biggest drawback is the new item system. When Epic took over they completely reworked the way items are obtained, added a battlepass and blueprints and honestly I prefer the old way but it might be a preference thing. Credits were a good addition but I really miss crates.
If you're looking for quick and easy fun, just get it and invite some friends.
