I like how you can recruit assassins to help you in battle or send on missions themselves (granted a very bland feature after awhile). Side content/lore: I found that the side content was one of the huge saving graces for this game as it had alot more things to do around the map like Towers, war machines, guild missions/challenges, etc.

The colors and overall engine used for this game look very good and was a step up visually from AC2 the year prior. Its a pretty open but dense map, detailed very well as they could focus alot on the one map instead of multiple.

World/Graphics: In AC2 they went with multiple cities but in this one they opted for one big map based in Rome. I do like the addition of the crossbow, it makes the combat/stealth more fun, once I got the cross bow I never used my gun in the game again. Gameplay: the combat was very much simplified in this game, part of me thinks Ezio is too OP but I do think its cool to string together executions, its just fairly TOO easy to kill guys although the combat is improved in terms of animations and executions, just too easy which isn't a big deal. Interesting twist at the end of the story but overall very meh and short. But alot of it was rushed, seemed like at one point the story is slowing down then the ending sequences just happens b2b without any real stoppage. I do like that you get to see Ezio rebuild the Brotherhood and became Master Assassin. Story/Plot: The main story is way too short and seems like there's no motivation established for Cesare from the beginning.
