This collection of games is my first introduction to Ezio's story, and these games are some of the BEST I have ever played.
Assassin's Creed Lineage: Now this is a short film and not a game, but I thought it was a great prologue to Assassin's Creed 2. I give this short film 4/5 stars.
Assassin's Creed II: This game is GREAT. The gameplay is so addictingly fun and has lots of variety. However, one problem I encountered was sometimes, when I wanted to go up and climb something, Ezio would instead jump at the camera. The open world is so great to travel around in. The story is also great, but it has a HUGE pacing issue. The story was dragged out and could've been way shorter. The characters are compelling and likeable, and the story is entertaining as well. Overall, I give this game 4.5/5 stars.
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood: The gameplay is like the game's before it but EVEN better. The combat has been changed differently, but for the better. Lot's of people complain about the story of this game, and although it isn't as good as Assassin's Creed 2's story, I still think it was good. The pacing in this story is WAY better than the pacing in Assassin's Creed 2. Overall, I give this game 4/5 stars.
Assassin's Creed Revelations: Out of all the Assassin's Creed games, I believe this is the BEST one. The gameplay is so much better here, along with a new hook-blade feature in the parkour. I also haven't encountered any glitches or bugs in this game. The story here is perfect. Both Ezio and Altair get GREAT and BEAUTIFUL endings to their days as assassin's.
I give this game 5/5 stars.
Assassin's Creed Embers: This is also a short film, but this one is animated. This film shows Ezio's final days of his life. It's such a beautiful story ending to this beloved character. I give it 5/5 stars.
After reviewing each of the games and short films individually, I give the whole collection 4.5/5 stars. A great collection of games that have awesome gameplay and stories.
