It was a hugely ambitious game. I loved the premise. It was unique in terms of having it set in the Third Crusade. What it gets right is the historical setting. Walking through Jerusalem and just taking it all in, it’s incredibly immersive. The combat is brutal but simplistic and gets boring after awhile. The parkour is where the game caught me, because I just loved traversing the rooftops.

The protagonist, Altar Ibn-LaAhad, looks awesome but is completely devoid of personality. Desmond is a little more interesting. The assassinations are fun... To a point, they really aren’t all that special.
Overall, a decent game, but one I’m not that interested in revisiting.
