Returning to this game after so many years left me surprised. I totally forget how loveable the cast is. Yeah, the story is silly and is just another revenge-regret scenario but damn Ezio is entertaining to listen to.

Gameplay wise though it's pretty shit, heh. Parkour works only half the time, fighting sequences aren't fluid like in later installments and... fuck it, I spent dozens of hours syncing seventy goddamn towers and picking up five hundred treasure chests and I do not regret anything.

Visually it's still great. Like someone rightly said, the only thing we want is to jump between pretty buildings. And almost all cities here provide just that. But fuck Venetia with it's stairs leading straight into water and just silly map design overall.
