![]() ![]() ![]() Plot elements once fiercely guarded as secrets are now almost casually discussed between characters who have awareness of such things, an occasionally flagrant reminder that this is as much a game about high technology as historical fantasy. That’s probably for the best, because the game makes no bones about characters within the simulation describing the more science-fiction aspects of the Assassin’s Creed world. Their presence and involvement is known, but they operate more in the shadows at a distance which (with the exception of an Assassin-focused secondary quest line) gives them less direct interaction with Kenway and opens the door for an expansion of the game’s world beyond the simple black-and-white conflict that pair have engaged in for centuries. Further, both the Templars and Assassins, while central to the plot, take a backseat more befitting their status as secret societies. That’s a problem with having nearly all your lead characters be self-serving criminals it makes it harder to feel compassion for anybody. As a story, it is perhaps not as powerful as Ezio Auditore’s battle with the Borgia or Connor’s participation in the American Revolution. ![]()
