    It's an intriguing new piece of the puzzle, to be sure. But the two-hour Lost Archive quest doesn't go quite far enough in pushing forward the overall series storyline, making it less essential for those who care more about Assassin's' open-world adventuring than the lore behind it.

    The Lost Archive will blast an evening from your life, and give you something minor to chew on until Assassin's Creed 3. But this udder sac is pretty much drained.

However, in this DLC, you are playing as Subject 16 reliving his life and death which precurse Assassin's Creed 1, trapped inside the animus. The platforming puzzles can be at times frustrating, but they are still very rewarding and well done. The DLC does an excellent job of fleshing out the story of Subject 16, and really does an unbelievable job of humanizing him. It's at times almost haunting, and there is a major story point revealed in the DLC. If you are patient enough, you will get an excellent experience out of this. Certainly not perfect, but if you have been following the story, it's a worthwhile get at 10 bucks.… Full Review »

The gameThe DLC that quite literally nobody asked for, or even wanted. Remember those Desmond sequences on Animus Island in the main game? The game play is identical to that, but there's extra trap types to deal with, and you get a jump pad now. Hooray /s. You are still going to be walking painfully slow as you dredge your way through fairly simple puzzles. It does explore some moderately interesting backstory for Subject 16, Lucy, and Abstergo, but that's all this DLC has going for it. Unless you want achievements (and frankly a couple of them are awfully annoying to get), read a summary of the dialogue or story for this DLC, this is arguably one of the worst DLCs I've had to play. DLC was never a particular strong suit for AC games, but this is bottom of the barrel bad. The backstories give this DLC a measly point out of 10.… Full Review »

    A great soundtrack,
    awful controls,
    punishing achievements.
    an ok story.

    Completely unnecessary.
