Assassin's Creed II

+ Amazingly detailed & poetic story
+ Gorgeous visuals & Renaissance scenarios, architectures and locales
+ Fantastic voice acting & characters storylines
+ Beautiful & enticing soundtrack
+ Effective & Fun Navigation Gameplay
+ Variety of gadgets, collectibles, trivias & puzzles

- Combat gets somewhat repetitive
- Combat & Navigation sometimes get too clunky
- A considerable number of bugs & glitches
- Some story & villains arcs are cut too short

Final Score: 9.5 / 10

The most fun AC game to me, I remember being kind of disappointed from the first game, but I gave this one a try anyway.

I just replayed it on the Ezio collection and here are my thoughts:

The good:
- The story, Ezio is one of the most charismatic protagonists on videogame history and being part of his growth is amazing
- The graphics, even for today's standards it doesn't look as bad as I thought it would
- The mechanics, they truly improved everything from the first game
- The tombs and most of the platforming, it hasn't been better in any AC game so far

The bad:
- The controls, I remember they felt clunky back in the day, but after playing some modern games where the sticks respond to minor shifts, this game can turn into an awful experience especially when you're chasing someone

Best Assassin's creed game ever🤩

Amazing start for the story, loved Venice, Davinci, Mario and the ending.

Got Platinum on PS5 🏆

My favorite game of all time, very close to my heart.
