Travel The World
Okay, so technically you travel the world in the main series, but let’s be real for a second. The annualized Assassin’s Creed games are pretty predictable in their selections for locations. Different places around Europe, the Americas and a short excursion to the Middle East. While each location was done quite well, right down to easily recognizable landmarks, there has still been a large portion of the world left ignored in those games. But that’s where the smaller and side games come in.
China, India and Russia can be visited in Chronicles, so you can see how the Templars have meddled with each of those nations’ history. Heck, you could even visit the bayous of Louisiana in Assassin’s Creed: Liberation. These varied locations and plots that stray away from the core are just as amazing (if not more so) than those that fans of the main games have grown accustomed to.
It’s also nice to get a change of architecture, combat styles, and different versions of armor from different societies.
