Found this unpublished post. Sorry its late.
I enjoyed playing this latest game in the Assassins Creed series. The graphics of course just keep improving, but adding just those little touches to the game that make it even more real. For instance in the winter scenes you see the characters breath in the cold air, to the ability to sense nearby assassins. The way these screen projects a white cloud around the edges, to the mysterious sounds and of course the controller vibrating the closer you get to the nearby assassins. All great improvements to the richness of the game. I also like to add the new style of freefall whenever you jump from a high distance. Whenever I would jump I would always get the sense that I was jumping along with the character Shay, which always gave me a little bit of a scare because I am afraid of heights.
With all these great aspects of the game there is still one thing that I felt the game did not convince me of, the story. Shay was once an assassin who then betrayed his brothers and became a Templar. When this story was first introduced to me I thought it was a great twist to the assassin’s series. However after playing the game, becoming the shady character, the actions that led to him leaving the assassins Creed and becoming a Templar did not really convinced me at all. From what happened in the story, if I were Shay I would not have switched my loyalty after that incident and become a Templar. In my eyes it was an accident and Shay should not have reacted the way he did. I also believe the way Shay interacted with the other Templar’s was another RED flag that should’ve also convinced him that the path he had chosen was also wrong. The point being that after playing I still believe that the assassins Creed is the right choice or right path and not Templar way.
All in all I really enjoyed the game I cannot wait to play the new series unity. Which I hope to get a very soon. It has also come across that I start adding videos to my blog to enrich the experience. I hope you like it keep reading!
