    This game is the beginning of the story of the legendary character Ezio Auditore da Firenze, who is burning with the fire of revenge. The best sentence to say is to play this game and make others around you play it too.

    Playing this in 2023. Still one of the best adventure games in every aspect.
    Although it was a weird decision to try to implement stealth mechanics in a number of missions when there is no proper stealth mechanic at all. And that menu... ugh...!

    艾吉奥·奥迪托雷·达·佛罗伦萨，传奇的刺客大师，伟大的刺客信条导师，他追随阿泰尔，超越了阿泰尔，虽然某种程度上只是阿泰尔和戴斯蒙之间的传话筒，或者说是先知和现代人之间的传话筒，但他已经足够伟大。

    First game in the legendary trilogy. Game is a bit dated nowadays, but it's still good enough to play for the story alone.

    This game is a vast improvement over the bug-ridden AC1. They improved virtually EVERYTHING.

    The story is the best of all AC games (except maybe Black Flag). It is really good.

    Graphics still look beautiful in 2023.

    Running across the rooftops of the beautiful cities and then jumping 50 m into the water is just awesome.

    This and Black Flag are the best installments of the whole series!

    The game is undeniably amazing, showcasing substantial improvements over its predecessor, surpassing the first installment in many ways. However, if I were to choose between the two, I'd lean towards the first game's setting with the gameplay enhancements of Assassin's Creed II. The initial title allowed me to truly embody an assassin, representing the assassin brotherhood, while the sequel follows a frustrated yet awe-inspiring Italian protagonist on a quest for vengeance, trying to find his place in an era where assassins are not as prominent as they were during the crusade era in the first game.

    What I absolutely adored in Assassin's Creed II is the gameplay. While it boasts an abundance of optional chests that beckon completionists like myself, it is an enjoyable experience to traverse the beautifully crafted open-world environment. The parkour mechanics have been significantly refined, making climbing and maneuvering more fluid, faster, and complex than in the first game. I've never felt such an exhilarating sense of freedom and agility while exploring in any other game released before this one.

    While the story of Assassin's Creed II may not offer precisely what the first game did, it is captivating in its own right. Featuring a formidable and compelling antagonist, the narrative leaves a strong impact. Furthermore, the game not only advances Desmond's overarching story but also marks the inception of Ezio's journey, who has become one of the most beloved characters in the gaming history.

    In conclusion, Assassin's Creed II elevates the series to new heights, introducing a more intricate and engaging world. Assassin's Creed II is an absolute must-play for fans of the franchise, as it exemplifies the franchise's evolution and sets the stage for the enthralling adventures that follow.    … Expand

    Everyone says it's the best AC game to this day. I don't know. Must've aged badly.
    The controls are the clunkiest controls I've ever encountered in a AC game. It uses "universal button symbols," it didn't work in Prince of Persia two years ago. Why there can't be normal symbols? The graphics are bad for a 2009, there are games that look far better (Uncharted 2, Batman AA, CoD:MW2).

    The story's just a "pyramidal revenge hunt," you're going after people you don't even know their names. The game has "disposable characters," e. g. your entire family. I can't believe the deuteragonist is Leonardo da Vinci, he got way too much space. One of the few good things about the game is the protagonist, probably the only likeable in the whole series. But I don't get why all the characters have super thick "Italian" cringe-ass accent. Ridiculous.
    Easily the weakest entry in the series (for me). And I played AC1, Bloodlines and Unity.    … Expand

Finalmente temos um bom sistema de escalada, apesar de ele ser pouco polido às vezes, e temls um combate interessante, apesar de também ter suas limitações. No geral, o stelth existe para evitar um combate pouco inventivo onde você pode optar por um counter hitkill com as hiden blades, esquivar e torcer para acertar o hitkill ou pode passar 10 minutos batendo contra a arma do inimigo. Não tenho nostalgia com este jogo, então reconheço suas qualidades e evoluções, mas também suas limitações.
    Não há muito o que fazer no mundo aberto, o combate fica cansativo e o stelth pouco se faz importante, usado em missões bem repetirivas. 90% das vezes matar um inimigo na beira de um telhado fará ele cair, e 60% das vezes você cai junto se atacar correndo. Não é um grande problemão, mas me chateia bastante, principalmente porque geralmente você ataca correndo.

    Um detalhe que é bom e ruim: se atacar com a hiden blade e entrar em alerta, com sorte você consiga matar até 6-7 inimigos antes fo modo combate desabilitar a kill das blades. É algo que parece errado, mas pelo menos te salva de enfrentar 10 inimigos em um combate repetitivo sempre.

    No mais, história é muito boa, com personagens interessantes, em especial Ezio, mas sinto que falta um pouquinho de polimento em algumas mecânicas.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The greatest AC game of all time, and remains so till date!
    Why you may ask ? Good question.
    Assassin's Creed 2 offers an incredible story, following the life of Ezio Giovanni Auditore Da Firenze, a Young nobleman playboy, that becomes a well honed assassin following his Family's unfair execution, the story shows the incredible development of Ezio, and change of his motives, persona and goals to something much more bigger and impactful, on his journey he meets up with many people that guide him or change his view on how the world works and how the system is being tampered so easily by evil shadowy hands, this story, disregarding its simplicity, remains one of the greatest stories in any game, I dare say.
    The gameplay, while dated, remains complicated, hard to master, and needs more attention and wisdom than just spamming some buttons, making the game quite unresponsive at times, but much more immersive.
    The graphics are decent, not something that will blow you off, but quite colourful and fitting each atmosphere, since each city has its own ambience, Monteriggioni is all dark and gloomy, Venice is all colourful and alive, Firenze is all saddened and grey, and Forli is all dark and dirty, giving each map, city and location a unique feel to it.
    The music is nothing to ignore as well, since the "Ezio's family" Soundtrack became the trademark of the entire franchise, the music varies a lot to suit each city as well, pushing the entire uniqueness of each map towards the extreme.
    In summary, if you like great story-telling, amazing music, immersive gameplay and exquisite graphics, AC 2 is right there for you, and from me, it's a solid 9.5/10. (Since Metacritic doesn't allow commas, I gave it a 10, anything that surpasses the left side of the decimal value goes straight to the next one, ex: 8.5-> 9)    … Expand

    It was the best AC title Ubisoft ever did. No other ever jumped so high as this one here. The story is beautifully crafted, the characters are clear and understandable, and Ezio has at least enough motivation to do what he does. And of course stealth, the fundamental feature of this game that fans have long forgotten since AC Origins.

Ezio development is maybe best protagonist development from boy to man in gaming and maybe even popular film industry ( i cant say for every film ever but from thousands i watched he is)

    Parkour demands practice and is actual gameplay not "pres W and shift" and don't worry,
    Fighting is very satisfactory with nice animations that are even better than latest titles.
    AC as series became game that chase its own tale in terms of story but first 3 AC with titles in between (Brotherhood and such...) with AC IV and Rouge are very very very excellent on itself and can exist without others parts. I like others AC's but they are lacking much for titles like AC II.

    - просто до отвращения нудные ДЛС, которые в ПК версию включены по умолчанию и которые нельзя пропустить (в общей оценке принял решение не учитывать их);
    - босс-файты проходятся тупым "закликиванием; - мелкие технические, игромеханические огрехи. Почему начал с минусов? Потому что все остальное один большой плюс. Отличный представитель серии от прекрасных разработчиков.    Минусы игры:

    Es de los mejores assassins que he jugado, esta entrega era lo que su primer entrega tenia que ser, aquí se implementan las bases para los juegos futuros de esta saga, Y teniendo a uno de los personajes mas inolvidables de la franquicia (Ezio), su historia como gameplay son increíbles, puedes terminar el juego y seguir obteniendo sus coleccionables sin aburrirte por su mundo abierto variado.

    Assassin's Creed 2, one of the most classic revenge story of all video game history.
    Games visuality and atmosphere is fascinating. well, the graphics are outdated obviously but the atmosphere bringed by real structure and Italia's tissue is wonderfull. The map is a little bit bigger than first game. And therefore player can not be feel like their's character are bigger than city.

I wish they filled this empty spaces with more real life structure, but im still happy with this map design.
    Game's core mechanics and animations are nearly same with the first game. But there is some improvements and extra mechanics like new weapons, smoke bomb and few parkour mechanics etc.
    Games play time is way too much. In the first half of game, all the quests and map discovering stuffs feels enjoyable. But in the second half of the game, all the things are becoming so boring, and the mechanics are became overused. And unfortunately game doesn't channel players to do stuff except for main quests. And it is a lack of game design. The game is way too easy to beat, and the player nearly doesn't have to improve character's stuff even the game has many different way to improve stats. There's a lot of weapon and armour upgrades, but i only bought a knife and do some shield upgrades, although i was lack of upgrade way to much, i didn't find any difficult to beat the game. And the game has some pointless investment features, but i never had to use this investments.
    Game's story is one of the most iconic revenge story of all video game time. The only bad thing about the story is, the time issue. In my opinion game is about 5 hours longer then it's needed. And almost all the time i couldn't remember why i am doing this missions and what is my goal or motivation.    … Expand

    For me, this game is not only the best in the AC series, but also, in principle, the best Ubisoft game. It reminds me of the days when Ubisoft had not yet slipped into miserable grind games without a plot, but made good games with a good plot and characters. This game deserves its place in history as a great action game.

    Outdated, boring and extremely overrated. AC got good with AC 4 Black Flag, Everything before that was meaningless, soulless and boring.

Edward from AC 4 works so well, because he is perfect balance between serious and fun. He knows when to have fun, but deep down he is serious and deep character, that's something Ezio will never archive. Awful game, hard pass.

Serious Altair was replaced here by the charismatic young man Ezio Auditore AKA, the best assassin of all time. Although we play for him here, Ubisoft does not forget the storyline of the presence in the form of Anim, which we climb to get into the world of that time. Again, we can look forward to Desmond, because the passages with him are much, but much more lively. But back to the Assassins. In the first part, I praised the environment and I have to praise it again, this time maybe a little more. The environment of Italy, specifically Florence, is beautiful and will simply fall into the time of the Assassins, and this is further underlined by the soundtrack, which in my opinion is one of the best of all games. Gameplay is a bit better than in the first part. This time we finally have some currency that we can then spend. That would really be missing in the previous game. Now we can buy, for example, medicines, thanks to which we can heal, maps that show us loot, or other colors of our Assassin's suit. Just great. In addition to the main missions, there is something to do. You could have completed side missions in the first Assassin's Creed, but here they are better and most importantly you can explore the map, take a loot and thus earn some cash, for which you can then shop. Great. We would have secondary content and now the main storyline. That was the stumbling block in the previous part in my eyes, which is why I am so glad that it is no longer the case here. The story is much more interesting, the missions are no longer so repetitive and especially the story is simply here. The fact that we will meet Leonard Da Vinci here also benefits from the story, and in fact, from the second part onwards, Ubisoft began to put characters from that time into each part. It's not how, in a number one story, something happens at the beginning, then a few repetitive missions, and then the end, where something happens again. No. Here the game springs from the very beginning to the very end. So the game looks great and in total it is already smiling at the rating of 10, which does not fall, unfortunately due to the situation on the PC. I can't determine the optimization much, because the game is really old and so it can be tightened anywhere, but I mean the control, which is just so rough on the keyboard with the mouse. Rotating the mouse just works weirdly here. Well, at least I didn't go down without explaining myself first. Which brings me to such a small recommendation, and that is if you plan to play the game on a PC, then get a gamepad. I started playing the game with him after a while and it was immediately about something else and it was better played right away. From that moment on, I started playing the whole series on the gamepad, and I'm actually happy for this imperfection of the game, because it showed me that this series is just made for the gamepad. So for me, an amazing game that I recommend.… Expand

    Assassin’s Creed II is a gem, a truly masterpiece also on PC. Developing a new economic system, and bringing more attention to combats, notoriety and context-script, Ubisoft achieves an awesome and epic experience. This sequel is far better than the first one.

    Two years later, Assassin's Creed tries again to make real those promises from Ubisoft, and prove itself as a better game than it was. The truth is that, despite the Renaissance setting, the vivid locations and the historical landmarks, the new features added don't really improve the sequel: the same repetitive mechanics remain, as the flawed enemy AI, a rough combat system and moments of frustration coming from issues with the camera and the control response in the platform sections. Assassin's Creed II it's still a good game but far from the masterpiece Ubisoft has been promising.
