Assassin’s Creed
Assassin’s Creed II is a third-person action-adventure game. The game is set in medieval Italy. A modern descendant of the greatest assassins in history, Desmond finds himself in the body of Ezio Auditoro de la Firenze, a master of Hashashian skills. The developers offer players an improved and updated gameplay system from the first part of the series – Ezio can still move both on the ground and on rooftops, has learned to swim, and has updated his arsenal of skills and gadgets.
In the initial missions the player has a free movement system with the ability to climb almost any object. Stealth component allows to use various techniques – the player has a choice how best to disappear in this or that environment: you can disappear into the crowd, take cover in haystacks or roof gardens, dive underwater, make a mess, throw in a crowd of beggars a few coins or distract the attention of enemies with the help of specially hired people.
Combat in the game glitters with variety thanks to the large arsenal of weapons available: swords, daggers, smoke bombs, throwing knives are not all the tools of death available to a character. Each weapon has its own strengths and weaknesses and, of course, its own animation. You can buy weapons in stores and use them permanently or take them away from your enemies during combat.
In addition to the main story line players also expect a number of side quests and even a medieval landlord simulator – which, of course, will have to rebuild. In addition, the players will also be hunting for the legendary treasure of the assassins, a whole set of different mini-games, a huge variety of historical personalities, as well as the continuation of the mysterious history associated with the so-called “Apples of Eden”.
