    They somehow managed to make this “remaster” worse than the original and yet ALL the original glitches are still in there as well. Don’t even play this if you’re payed to.

    The first Assassin's Creed (AC) game I played was the AC IV Black Flag, on ​​PS3. Of course I knew the franchise before that but it had never appealed to me. Black Flag had something different that caught my attention and made me want to play. And I really liked it.

    Many years later, I became a fan of the whole franchise. I've played all titles since then and I just didn't like AC Odyssey, for several reasons. However, there were still games to play released before the Black Flag. And that's what I tried to do last year.

    I took AC III (PS4) to play in 2019. Although I liked the place and the age where it takes place (American Independence), the game has an unbelievable number of fails. The game that I had the most problems playing in my entire life so far had been The Witcher 3. The amount of bugs made me miss some missions (I have a video showing a side quest that I couldn't complete due to a bug). But The Witcher is excellent, even with the problems. I could not speak the same for AC III. It overcame The Witcher 3 in bugs by far. But a lot them, really!

    And why am I quoting AC III or The Witcher 3, games that I had problems with bugs, in an analysis of AC II? Well, it's because I can't play AC II due to the massive amount of problems. I bought the Ezio Collection (PS4) two months ago in a great PSN's Flash Sale. And yesterday, I tried to start AC II. I'm giving up now that I'm writing this review.

    For many years, I have heard many fans of the series saying that this is the best game in the series. I always thought it was an overrated opinion and today, I have no doubt that they say that because of nostalgia. The game is worst by far from Black Flag, Rogue, Unity, Syndicate or the great Origins. It's very weak, really bad. The plot is interesting but its mechanics are so fail, but so fail that it becomes unplayable many times.

    Gameplay like fighting, climbing or jumping are completely randomickly. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. And for no apparent reason not to work. NPCs appear out of nowhere, much worse than I faced in Unity. Enemies appear and disappear from the minimap and in front of you during the game. More than once, I failed the mission "Judge, Jury, Executioner" simply because enemies appeared and disappeared from the minimap and even in front of me, in a mission that you cannot be identified, you have to play in stealth mode.

    My last straw to quit the game came on the "Arrivederci" mission, in which I was supposed to escort Ezio's mother and brother. At the end of the mission, I must protect them from attack by enemies. The gameplay just didn't work. The mission failed several times because my character commands didn't work and the worse thing, the few times they "worked", it still hit Ezio's sister whom I was supposed to protect.

    Anyway, the frightening amount of bugs made AC II the game with the most bugs I have ever played in my whole life (surpassing AC III and The Witcher 3), without even being close to the quality of The Witcher or even the possibility of overcoming the bugs like in AC III. A horrible experience that just didn't make me ask for the money back because PSN doesn't accept it after winning the first trophy.    … Expand

    - Неудобное управление в совокупности с небольшим инпутлагом.
    - Своевольный персонаж, который прыгает куда угодно кроме указаной стороны. Вечно липнет к чему не надо и ни в какую не трогает, что надо. Постоянный лок камеры в неудобных положениях.

    - Надеюсь, что вышеперечиленное хоть немного дает понять насколько тут ущербный паркур. Так вот эти е**клаки додумались напихать в эти уловия кучу миссий на время (явно с таймером или с из**ами в виде "а догони-ка вон того" - не меняет сути).
    - В итоге это игра не про скрытного убийцу, а про борьбу с управлением.
    - Миссии на время.
    - Миссии на время.
    - Умопомрачительные загадки Объекта 16 (тупо угадайка в некоторых местах, ибо логику разработчиков под силу понять только им - я несколько часов читал форумы и никто ни разу за 10+ лет не написал по какой логике они решали) с крайне информативными подсказками "это шифр, к нему нужен ключ" на экране, где у меня уже есть этот ключ.
    - Во всем этом великолепии кат-сцены с восхвалением главного героя выглядят ну просто издевательски, ведь я-то видел, что половину времени он перемещается как калека, а вторую как умственно неполноценный. Я первый раз испытал лудонарративный диссонанс, спасибо.
    - Миссии на время.
    Довольно о минусах, можно и о плюсах:
    + Отменный сюжет с кинематографичными кат-сценами.
    + Прекрасные виды.
    - Миссии на время.
    UPD: писал это до прохождения Откровений, но и про них есть что добавить
    - Цыгане, которым невозможно не помогать, к сожалению
    - Игра часто игнорирует нажатие кнопок
    - Постоянно исчезают парашюты и приходится снова покупать
    - Постоянно убирает из рук экипировку, приходится снова выбирать в селекторе и доставать (в миссии, где нельзя получать урон в центре толпы врагов - крайне критическая проблема)
    - Периодически гг ни в какую не хочет драться
    - Сложность некоторых миссий резко выше обычной казуальной
    + Минимум миссий на время
    Итог: второй аддон тем самым снижает оценку с единицы и возводит юбисофт в ранг конченых ублюдков, так как за эту кривую поделку денег просят    … Expand

    Buy this for the best hero and plot of the series, and insane hours-for-dollars value. [January 2016, p81]

    At the cost of a full retail release you will receive three of the strongest Assassin’s Creed titles + DLC + bonus content. Fan of the franchise or not Assassin’s Creed Ezio Collection is certainly worthy of a spot in any gamer’s library.

    Having the ability to play arguably three of the best games in the Assassin’s Creed universe on a current generation console is brilliant, although don’t expect much of a significant impact in terms of upgrades for gameplay or visuals. Improved upon? Yes. Reinvented and completely remastered? Not really. Still worth the money, though.
