A great opening to the Ezio trilogy. The mechanics hold up fairly well due to it's age, but i found myself enjoying the game for the most part. Not a terribly long story that for the most part keeps it short, sweet and simple and is kind of refreshing due to how long some narrative driven games are now. Great introductory game to what is one of the better trilogies in gaming. Starts off a little slow with learning the mechanics and getting comfortable with the climbing/combat. Once you get a grip on the parry/counter system the combat really shines. Same with the climbing and parkour. The game makes you feel like an assassin and thats what you want out of a game titled "Assassin's Creed". I found the endgame grinding to be just as fun with finding all of the treasures, feathers and glyphs. Honestly the glyphs may have been my favorite part, with solving each individual puzzles. I can see why this game is a lot of people's favorite in the franchise. Excited to play Brotherhood again for the first time in years and see if it holds up just as well to what i remember.

Fantastic 2D puzzle platformer. The puzzles are genuinely fun, and not too tedious. Once you get to the point where you unlock most of the items you can use, the game really opens up. Every room felt like they were different, a lot of the puzzles felt different and the game genuinely does a great job of keeping your brain flowing. I've never personally played a game like this before, so I was indifferent about trying it, but once I started it I just wanted more of it. Sad it's over, but thankfully there's great replay-ability with trying to get faster and faster times. Definitely higher up on my list of games I've played, would recommend, especially if 2D platformers/indie games are your style of game.
