A killer open world game with great writing and polished gameplay. Ezio is a fantastic lead, very charismatic, Italy is a fantastic setting, and the story is worth paying attention to. Well written and fun. The gameplay loop is also super well put togehter. Running around rooftops, stabbing dudes and countering a lot in combat works really well, and is fun to do idly even beyond what the story requires. Overall this game is very successful whether you're goofing around or taking it serious.
