DLC for Assassin's Creed Brotherhood

The DLC focuses on the famed astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, who came into conflict with the Vatican, as they did not want Copernicus educating the public about astronomy.

you know what the most annoying missions are in assassins creed? contrary to popular belief, its not the tailing missions! it's actually the missions where you have to walk randomly around the giant green circle with eagle vision which blocks the map so you dont know whether or not you're still in the circle, and makes your vision extremely dark so you cant see anything but glowing figures until you find what you're looking for.
this is a dlc where 90% of the missions are green circle missions.

There honestly isn’t much to say about the Copernicus Conspiracy. It’s a series of side missions added to the base Brotherhood game wherein you encounter and help out the famed astronomer.
The thing is, this depiction of Copernicus is very boring. He comes across as a standard anti-establishment character, which we’ve seen a dime-a-dozen in other AC games. A shame too considering he says he was a former Templar, an aspect that had a lot of potential for unique storytelling (to date, I don’t think we’ve ever seen a Templar defect to become an Assassin/Assassin-ally in the franchise). To add salt to the wounds, his dialogues with Ezio aren’t vivid in the slightest, with his voice actor being a rehired seiyū from one of the numerous NPC civs.
That aside, the worst aspect is how the bulk of these missions simmer down to playing mailman for Copernicus. That’s right, you’re going to spend most of your time delivering a series of letters to friends of his, warning them about the plans of the Templars. Throw in a couple of big brawls wherein the mathematician is somehow able to go toe-to-toe with armed guardsmen, and it’s no wonder that this DLC has been forgotten by AC fans.

By itself it offers very little to the game; when compared to the other DLC for Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, The Da Vinci Disappearance, it becomes saddening. It is no more enjoyable than the vanilla side-quests already on offer.
