Assassin’s Creed II
Best: Ezio And His Story: While this beloved sequel is great for a lot of reasons, including its parkour improvements and more varied side content, what really stands out is protagonist Ezio’s journey from troublemaker to famed assassin. In many ways, it became a blueprint for future games, to a fault even. But here, it works well thanks to the solid writing and performances.
Worst: Bloat Begins: Assassin’s Creed II added more side content to the formula which was all (mostly) welcomed by fans. But this is also where the series starts messing around with managing a homestead, business, and other side hustles. Some of this stuff would end up clogging up future entries in the franchise moving forward.
