Great! A fresh start is what the series needs. Last year, Assassin’s Creed Origins served as something of a reboot, mercifully carving off much of the backstory that had calcified into a complex meta-narrative spanning the history of humankind. Let’s take a moment to recognize that, of all video games franchises on the planet, this particular series about cynical, comical and controversial conspiracy theories somehow became a mainstream phenomenon. If you remember one thing from this article, let it be this: The second Assassin’s Creed ended with the player fist-fighting the Pope in order to uncover the truth of an ultra-advanced, pre-human civilization on which our world’s religion is built. It’s easy to forget how audacious this series was and occasionally can still be. The brand is so ubiquitous, so familiar, that its core ideas - religion is a misreading of coded messages from an ancient, advanced race of technologists a shadow war between the champions of freedom and control has been fought over centuries by Earth’s greatest historical leaders and thinkers - have mutated from quirky and compelling to obtuse and intimidating to predictable and bland.

Average Score: 8.Over a decade since the first entry, Assassin’s Creed has ballooned into a mixed-media franchise that includes at least seven spinoffs, nine novels, 11 comics, a Michael Fassbender film, an in-development TV show and enough Pop! toys to fill a jam band. The Story is still strong but it feels like they're running out of material for Ezio. Final Score: Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is a nice addition to the Assassin's Creed Franchise, but it feels like a second AC 2. There is almost no addition of secondary characters, just the old ones like Mario, Machiavelli, The Fox, and so on. It feels like AC II remodelled, and not like a brand new game. You can't spur or gallop, and sometimes running, feels faster than the horse at "full speed". There is only 1 city, and after creating games which contained 4 or 5 cities, Rome feels small. Bad Points: Although Horse Riding is now available inside the city, it is not very well adapted to city obstacles, and sometimes, is frustrating. This ending is done perfectly and will be leaving you anxious to play the next in the franchise, to know what happens. It is very fun challenging yourself to be the greatest assassin, really helps the game maintain itself.
