Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection
The Ezio trilogy that followed the original Assassin’s Creed are widely regarded as three of the best in the series, even if their quality does diminish over the course of the three games. Assassin’s Creed 2 built on everything that was good about the first, removing the repetitive mission structure and adding a more coherent and interesting story. With Ubisoft taking a break from the Assassin’s Creed series for a year, 2016 seemed liked the perfect time to revisit some of the series’ high points. However, although they are undoubtedly good games, or great in Assassin’s Creed 2’s case, the graphical upgrade isn’t particularly special.
Some character models look worse than before now that some of the textures have been changed. Having experienced the altered movement systems in Syndicate, the traversal seems far more cumbersome than it did when we first played the Ezio trilogy. Also, the popular multiplayer mode, introduced in Brotherhood, has been removed from the collection. Overall, the Ezio Collection remasters do not offer much more than the original releases.
