The last chapter of Ezio's trilogy is everything an Assassin's Creed fan could expect.

Housemarque didn't make Returnal 2. They did something harder and, in many ways, more beautiful: they looked their previous game straight in the eye, acknowledged its flaws, and fixed them one by one without losing a single piece of what made it special.
