In more ways than one, this fifth installment (of the core console franchise) feels like the definitive Assassin's Creed experience. Giving players more variety than ever, Ubisoft set out to deliver a gorgeous game that would keep everyone engaged through a long, satisfying campaign.

Beautiful visuals; Historically relevant missions; The rope dart

Some side quests are too tedious; Takes a long time to get into the main story; Lots of walking around

With the development cost of your average big-budget AAA game running into some $100-odd million, it takes great courage to pump that kind of money into a new intellectual property (IP), as opposed to a popular franchise with a well-established fan base.

The Assassin's Creed franchise is a bit like The Bold and The Beautiful. While the latter was a soap opera that had everyone sleeping around with everyone else, the former has a story that's [...]

Je suis accro. Tout simplement. Toujours aussi bon, toujours aussi beau. Un jeu fantastique, un personnage accrocheur. Du bonbon!
