    Climax Studios seems to remember what Ubisoft has long since forgotten: Assassin’s Creed isn’t about captaining a ship or poaching animals or curating an art gallery. It’s about wearing a hood and assassinating people.

Clearly someone had a vision for this game, and it just didn't get fleshed-out completely. The game is woefully predictable in every way, and the absolutely terrible A.I makes it way too easy. The platforming mechanics are shoddy as well, and it's totally inexcusable when you consider this is the same developer that brought us "Rayman Legends" and "Child of Light" which are great platformers. As a former fan of the series, I'm just getting tired of Ubisoft cashing-in on the Assassin's Creed name. If I was uncertain about whether to get excited about AC: Victory, ACC: China made-up my mind for me. The AC franchise has hit an all-time low, and lately Ubisoft's incompetence level is at an all-time high. Seriously, what are they thinking!?… Full Review »

It has its ups and downs and in my opinion it is far more different than any other Assassin's Creed game as it is mostly based on stealth rather than killing your enemies. Although it did glitch a few times but at rare moments. The controls (PC) are a bit complicated at times as they get confusing when you need to do some consecutive button pressing at a time. The A.I. is a little easy to predict on what it is going to do so basically the game isn't hard at all. Two more of these will be released later this year and as an Assassin's Creed fan I recommend this to fans of the main franchise rather than newcomers who never played Assassin's Creed before.… Full Review »
